    The good thing is that we are shooting the worst we have all season and the game is tied .

    Paul or James or Eric or green or Arica will heat up at some point.

    Close game. Still confident we'll win in 5, but I prefer blowouts.... in the Rockets favor, of course.

    Sometimes it's easy to forget this was the #3 seed when they were all healthy, now they are, but they're the #8 seed. Meanwhile Warriors get Spurs and then maybe the Pelicans in the second round.....while we get the Thunder who looked dominant today. Christ.

    man, this is some bad shooting. not only can't we make a 3, but capela missed a layup and then even harden missed an uncontested layup that capela did a good job hustling and tipped in. i hope it's just first half jitters.

    Are we switching on everything? Only Harden and Capela showed up to play. Need the others to show up.

    i'll take the shooting slump from 3 if it means it'll show up in the later rounds..

    good defense so far.

    As frustrating as this showing is, I'm kind of a little thrilled that we're objectively playing like garbage and still hanging in there on pure defense + Capela.

    This game so far is just a continuation of how the Rox finished the regular season for the most part.
