    You don't just have to leave a guy on an island to fight over a screen. Ideally, the screener's man has the basketball IQ to know that he needs to hedge the screen to allow the primary defender time to get back. But I doubt our guys know how to do this.

    Oh and I just don't blame 'Antoni, our personnel isn't there. I'm just of the opinion that 'Antoni isn't a championship level coach REGARDLESS or the personnel on the roster.

    Why is everyone freaking out? They scored all their points before we brought in Ben 'Wallace' McLemore.

    Gordon always has several months where he shoots garbage percentages

    Steph curry is so overrated. Warriors are down by 40 to the suns in San Francisco.This guy cant carry a team with average talent to anywhere.

    ok well we can just agree to disagree

    i know mike D isn't perfect, but we need roster changes more than a new coach IMO

    Harden and Westbrook scored or assisted on 128 of the Rockets' 159 points

    Enjoy the win guys. Different team different scenarios. Wizards did shoot lights out from 3-pt range and there’s really nothing one can do to stop that when rhythm is solid. I’m sure Rockets also see some hole in defensive PF position which I think when time and opportunity comes, player transaction will be made to fill that hole.

    This game is going to give us an elite number (perhaps #1?) for offence and bottom drawer (#30?) for defense.

    Last year we would have loss this game. Westbrook just has that fighting mentality, and he was a catalyst again in the 4th. I'm so glad we have him. Now we just need a good defensive coach to sort out our defensive rotations. I counted at least 8 posessions where we went for ineffective double teams and capela switching needlessly. Capela is really net zero on defense at the moment

    The way some people talk here it's like we were 1-3 like last year instead of 3-1. Even against the Bucks with Giannis going off we actually managed to be competitive for once despite our poor play.

    its still early in the season, but i cant understand how they are this bad with a superstar on the team.

    tonight they have their full roster with cauley-stein and alec burk and still getting embarrassed. it doesnt make sense

    be thankful you have a rocket team that can at least put up huge numbers on the score board to give themselves a chance to win

    Sorry, I absolutely HATED that game - it was so lackidasical - wide open shots all over the place.

    We stunk on D, it is embarassing how pathetic we are and how lazy Russ and Harden are on D....

    Big picture, this team is 1st round fodder at best, right now.

    For the 4th straight game this guy saved us with some clutch feats: tap outs and tip ins for second chance points, and those aggressive drives late 4th.
