    Playoff Ryno is who he is; I don't sweat it. I'm at the point where I just don't notice him anymore so every time someone mentions him in the game I'm like "oh yeah, he's here too"

    People do realize Gordon has been a total no-show throughout this entire postseason right just like last year. Of course our offense is struggling.

    We're 100% reliant on Harden drives at the moment.

    if a team outplays us, it doesn't necessarily mean we were playing lazy.

    i saw effort in the first half from everyone. they made mistakes defensively but that wasn't laziness. they missed some shots but that's not laziness either.

    the rockets played an average rockets game. the effort was there, but the jazz had better execution.

    If only we had a second hall of fame point guard to take some of the pressure off him......

    It's dangerous if Harden play like this.

    i'm betting paul shows up in the second half, and ingles doesn't get 14 more points.

    Looks like the Jazz figured out the Capela - Harden pick n roll. Threes are non-existent as well. Only thing going are drives and fouls. Biggest adjustment though needs to be defense. This is the one of the worse defensive efforts of the Rockets all season. Engels just keeps on being free to take 3s.

    Eric Gordon has been playing like a shell of himself. It's so frustrating to watch... And Ryan Anderson he's just been such a non factor that I no longer have any expectations for him.

    And management should be ashamed of that crowd. However they sell their tickets, it makes the team worse.

    i don't worry about the 3 point attempts as long as they're finishing in the paint at a high percentage,

    this offense is more versatile than last year. hug the shooters then the paint opens up.

    just gotta player better on the defensive end.

    People that thrust their own "ideal" expectations onto game play haven't spent enough time in competition. The best exploit anything and everything within the rules.

    Utah is taking away our 3 pt looks which is concerning. We're too reliant on Harden now.
