    No one on this team has Hakeem's heart..

    No one on this team has Cassel's heart...

    No one on this team has Mario's heart...

    No one on this team has Otis' toughness...

    At best we have a little of Horry and Chucky Brown with Dwight and that's about it...

    Good luck seeing this team repeat what they did...

    Only one problem, this team doesn't have Hakeem Olajuwon or anywhere near the size balls that those teams had....

    Probably your last date because you took her to wing stop.

    This is absolutely needed for team energy, especially for Lin and harden. I can imagine Lin feeling these days. As fans we need to stop finger pointing. Our kids need our support and encouragement at this specific time.

    This team has been together one season. 2nd youngest in the playoffs. They deserve a lot more chances to show 'heart' before it's all said and done on that notion.

    Well at least they will have a little knowledge to take into the offseason with them.

    Elie sounds like a true leader of men -- the guy Morey hoped he hired in McHale. McHale can only lead his players into embarrassment.

    After 0-1 or 0-2 would have been a more opportune time though

    Where is Elie coaching at these days? Can he come on board for the remainder of the year? I hear we have a defensive coordinator position open up on the staff, with good potential for advancement in the near future.

    All the above changes if they win the next three.

    Screw this, we got this!

    While I appreciate Mario and Hakeem talking to the team, I just don't think this team has that WANT in them to come back. I know Dwight and Bev have that want but I'm not so sure everyone else does. At times I get a feeling that Parson would rather spend his time modeling while Harden just spends his time partying his ass off. I really wish Mario would just lay a good smacking on those two...

    Date was not wingstop, I was actually taking her to a much nicer place but when we got there it was full with a 35 minute wait.... Then we started going back and forth with "if you want to wait that's fine :)" "Wait no do you want to wait or find somewhere else :/?" "Hmm we could go somewhere else but its up to you, what do you want to eat?" "Hmm I don't know what do you want to eat?" " Hmm I don't know" "Lets just go elsewhere" "Okay kool kool ".... Sooo we started driving around the Galleria on a Saturday night and everything was full so we pretty much just said w/e lets go to wingstop. And just carry on with our plans after... Not a good date.... It went perty bad....

    Well in my defense I was also trying to listen to the girl I was with as she kept talking, I was trying to give her more attention than the big black guy sitting a few tables down by himself.

    I'm gonna watch that series and pretend like it's the portland series now. Maybe it will help visualizing the win.
