    If Shump can just hit some of those 3's, he is going to be absolutely huge. Has the same fight as Rivers, and a very solid defender.

    I know Gordon is playing like an All Star, but Clint playing the way he is is absolutely the difference for me. When he is playing like this it opens everything for us and makes our offense one of the best

    Not having to listen to Chuck and Shaq mumble nonsense at halftime is a breath of fresh air.

    the same reason others dont move when HE has the ball ? our offense is based on ISO, pick n roll, drive and kick. its not a motion offense like GS

    It's like he has to conserve energy or he's going to run out of breath or something if he decides to run around on offense and defense. It's part of the reason Rockets switch so much especially when the switch involves Harden. It minimizes his movement to save energy.

    We got arguably the best point in the league, a future Hall of Famer. I agree. MDA Should have told James to step back (no pun intended) and play like a classic 2. Not saying he shouldn’t shoot his stepbacks. Just let Chris control the damn game! Isn’t that why we got him? It’s on MDA.

    I was watching the game, here in the Bay area, sigh, a little bit delayed, and we were down 18-11. Well, as you know, the Rockets began to make a move and they severed the satellite feed! I went to the internet and saw that the Rockets had actually taken the lead, and they took down the internet in the area! The game finally came back on, and they even re-established internet access for us, so I went to catch up as much as I could - I had most of the first quarter recorded - they deleted my recording! I know Adam Silver is involved in this somehow . . .

    Rightfully so. He isnt playing well at all. Did he even have one game of shooting over 50%? Im pretty sure he hasnt. Get the ball to cp3 and run your butt off to get an open shot. Other players can do it, so harden can too.

    Shump played 10 outstanding minutes. Danuel House did not sniff the court. Great adjustment by MDA by getting a veteran in there who can be an elite defender.

    No. He's really good for this series, defensively

    Are we sure? He seems so slow footed when he doesn't have the ball on offense and defense.

    We are out rebounding them 27-18. Love PJ but he continues to give us nothing offensively.Thank goodness we have EGO.

    Serious question... Has James ever attempted a backdoor cut?
