    The nets defense isn't good so the rockets bail them out shooting threes

    Fire the coach they have already made Westbrook harden the future of the team

    Prime example there, PJ stole the ball pass the ball to Rivers for a fast break .. Brooklyn got back on defense .. Rivers took a 3 anyway with defender on his face. Not very good sound basketball but that is the Rockets style and it has been successful in the past

    As long as the team creates of taking high volume threes that don't involve the ball moving
    they will be predictable and guardable. The rebounding numbers will plummet and the transition defense will have to be superb on nights we are not shooting it well

    Harden has made a few nice off the ball plays again tonight. I’d like to see more of that.

    I have a theory maybe nobody wants to play defense because they have to wat h harden and Westbrook chuck and know they barely get the ball

    Tough to win shooting 1/13 on wide open signature stepback threes.

    And Gordon way, wayyy off.

    We need Russ to save us.

    He is not stubborn he is just stupid now, shooters gonna shoot but this is a joke, he's never been Reggie Miller as a 3pt shooter but apparently no one ever told him that. Dude is officially a large part of the problem right now and MDa isn't gonna do a damn thing about it obviously.

    This just in, Harden shooting 13% from 3 against all teams not named the Wizards really just keep chucking James

    Who doesn’t get the ball? Last I looked all our guys are averaging career highs...

    That’s a good shot Harden, really...loser mentality! He’s given up and is content with losing by missing everything. By the way, how the hell have we still not incorporated a play to get Harden an catch and shoot 3?

    We used to run things like Spain pick and rolls. What happened to that?

    Rockets like to mix it up. SO tonight instead of playing no Defense they decided to play NO DEFENSE AND NO OFFENSE. Brilliant Strategy.

    For the love of God, stop shooting the 3pt shot. It's not dropped consistently all season, so please stop shooting it. MDA, please do something else!
