There goes the Rockets Playoff run. No McHale to try and keep the egos of three prima donnas means a splintered locker room and the terrible play will continue. I know we beat the Blazers but it needed a Harden powerplay in overtime to get there.

Another sub 40% FG night, Ty Lawson 1/8 in another insipid performance. Lawson was always a bad idea but Rockets Management wanted to relieve some burden off Harden, who doesn't like to share, and Lawson is just ice cold now.

The Rockets may slip into 7 or 8, but what is the point of going down 4-0 in the first round to the Warriors, Spurs or Thunder?
