@  RollingWave : (09 May 2013 - 10:01 AM) The west is such a brutal conference though, I mean if the Heat was in the West, it's probably at least a 30% chance they don't make it to the finals either. almost everything is good enough that if enough things lineup right for a brief stretch your done.
@  2016Champions : (09 May 2013 - 04:35 AM) I've been saying ppl need to stop sleeping on the Spurs, but if they lose this series I'm going into deep slumber on them. Like Demolition Man cryonically frozen slumber.
@  blakecouey : (09 May 2013 - 03:31 AM) Well Hack-A-Bogut is going to get the Spurs back into this game.  They should've been put away, big shots falling again tonight.
@  blakecouey : (09 May 2013 - 02:55 AM) I don't know if he realizes it, but they're the same age whether they win or lose.

@  pharmag : (07 May 2013 - 10:17 PM) @2016, that is too true!  Of course it helps that South Beach, LA, and NYC teams have their cap room tied up for forseeable future (barring a D12 or CP3 bailing)
@  2016Champions : (07 May 2013 - 02:59 PM) I feel like we're becoming one of the most desired destinations now too, our organization is moving on up!
@  feelingsuper... : (07 May 2013 - 01:09 PM) That is a good sign when other organizations cherry pick your staff. I think the culture and system that the Rockets have put in place and begun to develop in the end will be far more important than any coach.
@  blakecouey : (07 May 2013 - 03:10 AM) Going to miss Sampson.  Everything Ive heard/read/seen say hes a great coach.
@  RollingWave : (07 May 2013 - 02:54 AM) Our D, at least in half court, was very sound, the transition part though... eeek.
@  2016Champions : (07 May 2013 - 02:50 AM) Sampson was the mastermind behind our underrated defense.
@  Richards : (07 May 2013 - 02:30 AM) We all knew Morey put together the team and McHale/Sampson coached the players. Sampson was a mastermind behind coaching.
@  feelingsuper... : (07 May 2013 - 02:08 AM) You got a right to your opinion but seems like Morey is the brains to me, thought that was obvious with the offensive scheme and all that. Rockets coaching is about leadership at this point which McHale possesses in spades.
@  Richards : (07 May 2013 - 02:04 AM) Well, by reading what players said throughout the season, Sampson seems to be the brain behind Rockets basketball.
@  feelingsuper... : (07 May 2013 - 01:52 AM) Of course he stays, what do you mean by that question? It is a strange question since what assistants do would never effect a head coach that way.
@  Richards : (07 May 2013 - 12:51 AM) Will McHale stay if Sampson got coaching job at another team?
@  RollingWave : (05 May 2013 - 09:37 AM) Irving still need to work on a few things (most notably defense), his performance considering his age is great.
@  Dan G : (04 May 2013 - 06:50 AM) Damn..who knew tonight was gonna be close out the series night? Four Games 6s and four closeouts.
@  feelingsuper... : (04 May 2013 - 06:28 AM) Whatever comes the next few seasons (barring injuries) it will be hard to match the unadulterated excitement we had watching these young Rockets this past year, it was definitely some kind of roller coaster ride...

    Game was lost starting Delfino.


    Obviously you didn't watch the game, because Delfino did not start.

      I'm really proud of this team for coming back from that 15-point deficit in the 4th quarter. The boys in red are becoming men in the course of this series. It's all going in the right direction.

      Putting Beverley on Westbrook was a great call, because not only he showed that he could provide high energy during the whole game, but he got under Westbrook's skin and we know what happens when he gets frustrated. Besides, it didn't harmed us that Westbrook got in foul trouble early in the game (the ideal, as I stated before on another thread, would be that Durant gets in foul trouble, but I'll settle for Westbrook :D). Of course, from a "learning experience" point of view, this was a step forward. Here's to hope that we keep trending this way and if we have to go down 0-4, let it be playing like last night and not like game 1.

      surprisingly im not all that upset about this loss.  the first game was disgusting.  this one, while it always sucks to lose, it was one hell of a fight and they showed some unbelievable tenacity.  i love beverley.  the rest of the group could learn from him.  hope his hustle rubs off on the rest of the guys.  i only expected to win 1 game in this series.  then after game 1, i figured we'd get swept.  so for them to come back and fight like they did in game 2 makes me proud.

        Thanks for posting that breakdown, 2016--very illuminating.  Though it makes me upset about Perkins' hold all over again, and now even more!  Maybe we'll get some makeup calls next time.
