McHale is still not to be trusted and continues to intentionally foul and kill the team. tonight, the Rockets were up 5 with 2 mins to go in the first half and then McHale started hacking Jordan. just killed his team. Clippers then went into the half leading and then continued their run in the 3rd qtr. all because of his stupid fouling. i hate McHale with a passion. and they're still playing no defense and just jacking up 3's.
i'm really not sure how this series is tied. i really wanted the Rockets to look good against the Clippers because i actually thought they would be a better match-up against the Warriors if the Warriors made it past Memphis. while i hate the Clippers lack of depth, i now think they actually might be the better match-up against the Warriors afterall. the problem with that, however, is that the Warriors would have revenge against the Clippers from last year.
bottom line, i really hate the Rockets right now and don't trust them in the least. so i'm not sure i will even want them to win game 7 come game time. and that's the polar opposite of what i was feeling prior to the beginning of this series.
assuming the Warriors can close-out Memphis, they will destroy either of these teams and that's what pisses me off the most. that's really the only certain thing i can say at this point, outside of still hoping that Memphis can pull off a miracle.
