    their last three 3's were just pull-ups in someone's face. those aren't supposed to go in when you're already 11/14. wow.

    This is just showing right now to keep pace with the Rox and have hopes of beating them you have to have out of character shooting nights. This is out of character type shooting. Houston needs to tighten up still on the defensive end though.

    This half is another great example of how Harden and Capela do not require the mid-range to set up their total destruction of defenses that don't send help off the 3pt shooters.

    But I guess Cousins and Asik are poor defenders, right?

    Get used to it. Moore dropped 27 on the Dubs. They only have the third best record though.

    Rockets have to prove they're serious to keep this 1 seed.

    I mean, can it get any worse? Is Charlotte going to hit 100% of their 3s next?

    They are shooting without any worries from the 3 because we are not closing out on them aggressively.

    You would think that after they had made 6 or 7 we would have adjusted our defense.

    Piss poor defense.

    Rockets messing up their defensive stats, right now.

    FOCUS..... and stat-padding will follow, defensive and offense.

    Harden is Davinci when it comes to getting creative passes off to Clint.
