I dont, he shouldnt have passed that ball to Howard, that made no sense.

 

not before he passed the ball, he had the momentum to get to the rim.

 

or at least to the line

 

How about putting the blame on McHale? He didn't call a time out.

 

nor should he have. there is no blame just because it didnt work out. sometimes it just simply doesnt. two great players going at it. great game.

 

no timeout needed, Rockets had the numbers in that situation. perfect situation for any coach.

 

Agreed, timeout would have been wrong call. Also, Harden had rebound and immediately took a step towards his goal so a timeout would not have advanced the ball.

Harden played a brilliant game and I can't rip him for the last play. Yes, he could've done something more but was not at all an easy play to make. He probably had 50 different thoughts run through his head in 8 seconds.

Basketball requires so many split second decisions. My couple of friends that always overly criticize these decisions happen to be horrible at basketball. I've wondered if that is a real correlation or just a very small sample size.

 

No chance a whistle is blown charge or not
