    Please rank them from highest offensive potency

    I told you. This style of play doesn’t work in the playoffs. This is how it’s going to be for the rest of the way. Too stagnant, too predictable, a lot of missed 3s.

    Iso ball doesn’t work when it matters.

    it works for all time great iso players like harden but when he gets double/tripled it won't...and our guys showed they didn't step up. Need to do something fast. I have a feeling RYno's return will fix it.

    I'd say ISO ball was the entire reason we won a playoff game tonight.

    How do you expect the rockets to beat the warriors when they barely beat the wolves?

    You can’t blame it on rust or lack of effort.

    Because you can't predict how we'll play against the Warriors based on how we played tonight. Anyone who thinks they can is just trying to start some pointless BS.

    You can't expect harden to play like Jordan (ON STEROIDS) every single game. If the rockets play the same exact game they did today...they lose this series.

    It didn’t work last post season against the spurs as well...

    Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

    Seriously? You honestly think this Rockets team is exactly the same as last year's?

    65 wins? Best record in the league? 4th best road record in league history? Barely lost at all in the second half?!?

    Nobody is thinking we're doing the same thing as last year except you.

    They've been missing those 3s and playing like this for 2 weeks or so now.

    There hasn't been a game where anybody else has been good from 3. Its a shot with a high variance. Need to fall back on good playmaking. My point still stands...they can have a night like this again. Its not fair to put all that on Jame's shoulders.

    Um... no, they win the series 4-0. They played well enough to win tonight, which is why THEY WON.

    In order to lose the series, they'd have to play worse than they did tonight. Or the TWolves would have to play better, which they'd given no indication all year that they're capable of doing.

    There's no way Ariza, CP3, Tucker, Green and EG shoot 2 for 25 from 3pt again this series.This game was an aberration.

    Playmaking like passing to capela for alleyoops?

    Or passing the ball to wide open 3 pt shooters?

    What kind of playmaking makes shooters hit their 3s?

    Obviously not sitting there wide open and missing. I guess running all your guards off 3 screens and shooting on a catch and shoot is much better

    it would be one thing if the rockets couldn't get their shot off or get good looks.

    the rockets got whatever they wanted but guys like ariza just not hitting wide open shots,
