Yall keep saying this like we are playing the Butler-less version of the team rather than the version with Butler that was locked into the 3 seed.
I’d like to be optimistic, i’d really like to be. However we looked absolutely terrible, I hope they prove me wrong, but this team needs to just be better, they haven’t proven anything in the past and this wasn’t a good sign.
This loss gives me zero concern. Rockets by double digits in Game 4 and then a bloodbath in Game 5, and then on to the Utah Jazz. Wolves played out of their minds tonight. Rockets haven't even looked that good offensively and yet topped 100 points in each game. I'm thinking we win Game 4 113-98, and then Game 5 130-94.
We are playing pathetic, glad we lost and we are definitely playing arrogant but also scared, looking for the whistle, playing too slow and not elevating our play. I envy the Sixers and Pelicans who are playing the right way, lots of confidence and get a lot more from everyone!
Anybody worried about Harden? Haven't really liked his effort level or shall I say competitive fire the last couple of games.
only 2 players have avged more than 28 pts and 7 assists this post season we should worry about those two's effort level LOL
Message received. I think they are going to kick the everlivinghell out of those guys the next 2 games. But that's just me thinking.
Want to see more adjustments. It seems like we play the same way everytime without any real adjustments on the defensive end. -Make Drose a jump shooter. Hes been killling us in the paint so back off him a little. -Dont switch rynos guy ffs. He tries but he cant stay infront of anyone in the NBA. -Harden: Dont go for steals in the front court and leave the defense exposed at the back ...he did this 3 times after a TO, needs to get back instead -Keep Ariza on butler. Whats the point of having our best defender guard taj? dont switch on ariza. Cant expect to win them all. Actually feel grateful we are up 2-1 with the way we have played. Game 4 is big, we better show we want it because its clear they arent gonna give it to us.
I hope so. We’ve seen a big disappearing act from ariza, Tucker and Gordon so far. We need someone to get hot from 3 to help us advance. And for my own personal sanity I need harden to eliminate the possessions where he trudges his feet as he brings the ball the up.
