SadLakerFan (22 May 2015 - 04:01 PM) Gotta disagree. You would be taking the ball out of your best (by far) player's hands when the defense is on its heels. A timeout would allow the best defense in the NBA to prepare for the inbounds play - you might never even get it to Harden. As for Harden, I watched it again a few times - he's got to take that shot at 4.0 seconds. He'll learn. I see this as his coming out game. The whole nation knows how good he is now.
txtdo1411 (22 May 2015 - 02:45 PM) Agreed Majik. It's hindsight and everything happened so quick, but that would have been huge. I also feel Harden takes that first stepback if Barnes didn't do that fly by from behind. Just an unfortunate ending to a great game. We'll get them back in Houston.
majik19 (22 May 2015 - 02:21 PM) I feel like McHale or someone should have taken a timeout as soon as Harden got double-teamed. Then we could've drawn something up for him.
SadLakerFan (22 May 2015 - 06:37 AM) McHale made the right call - no time out against the best 1/2 court defense in the NBA. In retrospect, you wish Harden had taken the step back.
Mario Peña (22 May 2015 - 04:53 AM) The 5 always trails and always gets the ball as he crosses half court, I believe it was kind of a habit pass. Harden should have just decisively gone right initially and Ariza probably would have had an open corner three. Harden and co. are still learning.
cointurtlemoose (22 May 2015 - 03:54 AM) Maybe it didn't register in the split-second decision that it was Howard trailing. If it's anyone other than Howard, one of Curry/Thompson peels off to cover the trailer, and Harden gets his one on one back
JY86er (22 May 2015 - 03:41 AM) Oh well, Guys. We got 'em right where we want 'em now.
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 03:40 AM) Oh boy, well, at least I like our chances to take both home games the way the Warriors are playing
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 03:39 AM) Why didn't Harden call a timeout instead of passing it to Howard on the 3 point line?
cointurtlemoose (22 May 2015 - 03:38 AM) Heartbreaking last couple seconds...
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 03:36 AM) WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 03:35 AM) Let's go rockets!
Cooper (22 May 2015 - 03:34 AM) Harden and Howard are just incredible
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 03:32 AM) Wow
Cooper (22 May 2015 - 02:45 AM) nick johnson sighting?
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 02:29 AM) Rockets quieting the crowd
cointurtlemoose (22 May 2015 - 02:16 AM) It is pretty crazy to be tied at this point. Harden single-handedly gave us a reset button for this game
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 02:11 AM) Rockets are missing 2 starters, Dwight is playing with a bad knee, and yet they've kept both games quite close so far against a team that finished 67-15
jorgeaam (22 May 2015 - 02:10 AM) I must say that I start to think the Warriors are tremendously overrated
Cooper (22 May 2015 - 02:07 AM) absolutely astounded to be tied after playing so poorly and curry hitting seemingly every shot
