    Opposing teams pretty much have to play out of their minds to barely squeak by us, while we're not playing at our best. This isn't like the old days when we pretty much lay down and die by double digits. You want to win, you have to pry it from our dead fingers. Gives me more confidence we can withstand the Warriors.

    Not mad at all, we came all the way back, against the best home team in the league.

    Kinda relieved in a way. We just start a new streak, starting with Dallas, Spurs, and the Clips. You know we're gonna killem by 30 each.

    The media, once again, was right

    Everyone said our winning streak would end against the Raptors. What else did they say that will happen

    Last 3 games were great for playoffs prep. Especially OKC cuz apparently, per Baron Davis, they’re our kryptonite, and the Bucks cuz of their length and physicality.

    Rockets will be battle tested and hopefully will be ready for anything in the playoffs.

    Especially on road games you can just feel how much more the opponents and fans care about beating us. It means a lot. They give that extra push that they don't give in most other games.

    You can hear the uneasy tension when someone like Harden or Gordon hits a **** you three when their team is up 15 thinking in their heads "we are ****ed".

    From the last 3 games, basically a preview of what's to come in the playoffs. We need to address these

    1. doubling and trapping Harden
    2. Length of defenders,
    3. Raptors Bench outhusting and outrunning us messing up our rhythm and defensive rotations
    4. Capela not really holding his own against stronger and physical bigs
    5. Taking away our 3's and giving us the lane.
    6. JJ is just..
