    If anything, this picture shows me small ball works on that possession. You got their bing stuck on the corner. Harden could have passed to House at corner or Westbrook who could drive and kick again to Tuck, or he could take one more dribble to suck Bev in.

    House though is not reliable.

    Unfortunately, for much of the game we didn't have their defense pinned like this picture.

    How many more 3pt shots did they make than us tonight? How many points did they win by?

    That's the difference. It's a fact.

    Shut him down for the rest of regular season please. It's impossible to have any sort of fun when you're this sore.

    Basketball is not just strictly math, despite what the Rockets seem to have convinced some to be the case.

    If by playing up to par is showing up then I’ll agree. This is his worst season as a rocket and he’s steadily declined in 3 point shooting since he’s been here. He’s a ghost out there right now.

    Ok and cp3 shot them and we still lost. There is no rule we can't shoot mid range. Russ shoots them whenever he wants.

    We just didn't come to play at all.

    Good bench effort and Russ was trying.

    d'antoni is the chicken little who shrinks in big games like a deer stuck in headlights. he's also lazy and stubborn. these are things CF has noticed and commented on win or lose, because if anything at least he's consistent with all this

    I explicitly said change your gameplan, the midrange is just one way to do it.

    We still do not have a shot because the Clippers are jelling before us but at least it is not predictable.

    I mean we already tend to generate lots of open looks, we get to the rim even though we don't get enough whistles a lot of time, and we have one of the greatest offensive forces in history, though he isn't playing like it. What adjustments do we really need to make? Players have to perform better than tonight.

    House or Westbrook could have easily cut in the lane for a dunk or layup or foul. Simple.

    Once again...this comes back to coaching. No counters or adjustments. Rockets simply don't have a chance in a playoff setting with only 1 kind of offense.

    The thing is, we normally make around 15 3pt shots a night.That's our average. We only had to be bit a below our average tonight and we would have won the game. And we're not even a good 3pt team to begin with. We made 7/42. That's not down to the Clippers making a statement, that is down to us shooting really poor. I doubt we'll ever shoot that badly again this season.
