    The way Utah dared our drivers to Gobert's defense, CP3 should shoot more mid range shot just to make Gobert choose between the driver and Clint the paint finisher. That'll open up the pain area for Capela.

    I'd like to see Harden having more drive and pop shots within the free-though line too.

    Ugh. CP3 breaking his jump shot is a tragedy.

    As a Green fan, I don't understand why he messes up so badly on rotations. Dude has been playing the same system for 2 years. Still, I see why MDA gives him some of because when he's on, Green can give us quite a few buckets.

    "Okay, Spida, step 1 is you gotta start hitting some f$#kin' buckets. You can't score if the ball doesn't go though the hoop."

    there's xo's when it comes to defense just as the other side of the ball. Not everyone has a defensive mindset and can process all that comes along with it. Someone like green might be mindful of it, but they just don't react naturally to what's going on. He just isn't that type of player defensively. You just hope the effort can be there and the mistakes can be limited.

    Mitchell figured out it was much easier to score with Gordon on the bench (game 4, 4th quarter). Too bad for him MDA wasn't having any of that with Gordon mirroring Mitchell's minutes.

    Kinda funny thing about this whole scenario.

    Had the tables had been turned and Houston was 20 some percent on wide open 3s there would be utter outrage on why we continued to take so many 3s when they weren’t falling.

    But since it wasn’t us, you have the same type of people saying the only reason we won is because they missed open shots. Our defense wasn’t anything special, had they just shot the ball at a normal rate the series would be different.

    Yet when you try to bring that logic in to defend Houston’s strategy when the 3s just aren’t falling you are met with we need more midrange!!!!

    What is there to vent about?

    The fact that we did not blow them out and sweep them?

    They were a 50 win team.

    Here's a pretty good re-enactment of our fairweather fans during this series.
    Started out as fun and games, then things got scary, and then all good again.
    But they still want heads to roll because we didn't sweep
