    D'Antoni says we're desperate because we made adjustments in game 2...


    ...um isn't that what good teams and coaches do to win?

    Yeah, D'Antoni doesn't know how to adjust his own sack..
    Always been a "My way or Nothing" Coach.

    It makes perfect sense that Pringles would see "adjustments" as some sign of desperation. What an awful coach.

    Win Game 3, 4 and 5 and let's get the real series going. Tired of talking about an overbloated team with an overbloated coach with the most overrated, p**** ERA poster boy James Harden whom would have been a 20 point scorer on a s***ty team in any era except this one.

    Yea this series is such a drag, mainly because I just dislike the Rocket’s style of basketball, but also because they have unearned confidence that is annoying.

    He heard people talking about Kawhi's one finger block and raised ya'll three ferocious blocks on two former MVP's... Have you guys ever noticed that in this series, there is LeBron, AD, Harden, and Westbrook but yet, we all see the unanimous decision in that LeBron is clearly the best player on the court? It's crazy how four of the top 10 players are in this series and LeBron is on a level of his own. True greatness.

    LOL @ Chuck on TNT: "I love what Bron and AD are doing... can't put those little leprechauns on them."

    -This was Westbrick's game of the series.
    -We had some awful communication defensively in the 1st half.
    - Harden did his thing.

    Gordon was off, but Green stepped up in a House's absence. Don't really see what else a non adjustment team is going to do.

    This thing might be done in 5.

    Westbrick cost them the game. He was getting shut down by Caruso and Rondo. He simply has to be better for the Rockets and it's unfortunate for them but he won't. When Rondo outplays your star player, the team with Rondo will win.

    I really don't like what the NBA has turned into.

    Extremely boring basketball.

    Bring back the midrange game.

    I really miss Kobe. The last truly great midrange player.

    We took control of the series tonight with that defense in the fourth quarter. That was beautiful.

    Vogel needs to stop this crap of playing to the Rockets strengths.

    He's got LeBron and AD.

    Make them pay.

    Vogel's rotations are head scratching. JR on Harden, Rondo and Caruso on the floor together etc.
    We do miss AB a lot.

    Houston never had a chance. Their style of play isn't built for the playoffs. Their 2 stars are historic chokers that can't execute down the stretch. It's laughable watching them knuckleheads going against our high-IQ playmakers. (Lebron + Rondo) Proven time and again, defense and size matters when the game slows down. 3pt shooting, not so much.

    Lakers in 5.
