    In keeping with the kayfabe, Rockets should "sign" PBev to run in and clip Thompson, Durant, and Curry.

    Had the Rockets won Game 1, I'd almost expect one or both of them to be dispatched to Oakland tomorrow night. But under these circumstances, I'd be stunned if the league sent either one. It would make a lot more sense to assign them to Milwaukee, cuz the Bucks have a must win of their own against the Celtics.

    The league is going to do it. They're going to send Scott Foster in for Game 2 of this series. They give no ****s

    If the NBA is rigged, like so many believe, then it doesn't matter who officiated. The fix will be in for what result they want. If we lose this series everyone will call foul play and if we win people will say we won by skill and the heart and souls of champions.

    Kerr is clearly coaching his players to injure Rockets players. Are the Rockets just going to stand there and do nothing. Or, are they going to HIT BACK?

    I haven't heard much.

    Just keep in mind, this isn't new or a surprise to the Rockets front office and coaching staff... and players like Harden and Paul have known as well.

    If we hit back our players won't get away with it. They will get technicals, ejections, and suspensions. The short term result will be satisfying for us, but hand them the series on a silver platter. The refs won't let us do as they do and get away with it. Kerr would love to see Tucker, James or Paul lose their head and get slapped with an ejection.

    Hopefully some adjustments are made.

    We are still getting KILLED on the boards. We gave Warriors way to much offense rebounds,we're just not boxing out and keeping Iggy and Green off the boards.

    Role players have to come to play. Can't have those crappy games by the role players, must hit their open shots.

    Refs, that's out our hands. Just come out and ball.

    After all my hot air before game one, I think it’s best I just keep quiet for now

    Capela and House need to step up. I'll let Tucker off because he was honestly good in the Jazz series.

    I know Harden's shooting is off at the moment, but he's still finding other ways to score and set his teammates up. His roles players need to take their chances and shoot better. It's one of the reason we lost in the first game. Not mentioning the terrible officials again.

    And here I thought the NBA wanted the two leading MVP candidates to go head to head in the finals. Guess they saw the Bucks get their clocks cleaned and shifted positions.

    It is what it is. Overall we still had a chance. Shooting under 30% from the 3 is inexcusable though. If you are going to build your offense around the 3 point shot you need to have some knock down leave em open and you pay shooters. We don't Yea. PJ can hit some corner shots. EG can get going. But we need a sniper who's worst season is still over 40%

    I mean
    KD - Career 38+ percent
    Stephanie Career 43+ percent
    Klay Career 42 percent

    Harden - Career 36.5%
    Paul - Career 37%
    Ego - Career 37.4%
    Tucker - 36%
    shump - 34%
    Green - 36%
    House - 37.7%
    Rivers - 34.4%

    Their worst is better than our best.

    Hell I wish we still had Beverley as a backup to Paul. Career 38% and right at 40 for the last few seasons.

    Yea. We are supposed to win with Volume. But our volume yielded under 30% yesterday. I am concerned that we won't get 4 games of 35-40% from 3.

    I think this line-up should get some burn

    Faried
    Tucker
    Harden
    Rivers
    Paul
