    I ****ing love Manimal’s energy, and he’s a much better shooter than I thought. Gotta give him more minutes.

    I like Rivers' energy and defense, but he's gotta take smarter shots.

    I'm sorry, but why don't we play defense like this against the worse teams?

    It's obvious to see here that we're putting in way more effort in the defense.

    Rockets play more entertaining brand of basketball without James.

    New game strategy: give the ball to Faried and get the hell out the way

    They're not settling for just threes though. We're getting points in a myriad of ways, which is lovely to see.

    Loving the Above the Rim camera angles from broadcast online. Helps better understand spacing and technical things you just cannot see on the normal broadcast.

    Everyone is locked in right now to fight on defense every possession. If the Rockets play like this, they will be hard to beat by anyone.

    Rivers cannot hit that 3 pt shot off the switch. You tell every time he shoots it, it will be off. I would rather he go to the hole immediately on the pick and take the free throw shot or kick it back out.
