    But they couldn’t guard us either, and we got lucky at the end of the game

    They have the best offense in history. What team is more skilled?

    Truly. He actually does a good job with his footwork I think in staying in front of someone when they attack him, but he’s just not strong enough and they go through him. He’s also an and 1 machine

    ok and they got lucky in the first half making 55% of their threes. NBA teams don't average 55% even on open threes

    Not only Ben is only 6'3" tall but he is also very slight. Any inside help from him is pretty much hopeless. He might as well stay close to whoever he is guarding on the perimeter so as to eliminate another team's option.

    We need Mclemore because of his outstanding 3-point shooting abilities (3rd best in the NBA this year). Coaches just have to reduce his defensive liabilities. I swear he takes the dumbest fouls.

    The foul trouble and Mavs being on absolute fiyah didn't help matters.

    It's funny. I would love to be "old as hell", in that case. I guess I would qualify as geriatric at 51.

    But old for a basketball player, yeah. :D

    Some great points here:

    Rockets won turnover battle, protected rim better (10 blocks vs. 4 blocks), getting stops at crunch time.
