    Credit to MDA. I wasn't fully on board, but I was willing to give micro ball a chance. MDA was the one who simply gave Harden the ball and Harden took off. Now MDA has simply taken the center out of the lineup and has (small sample size) done it again.

    Capela was good but usually people would score on him easily on switches. Would try to block everything but wouldn’t block it and leave space for easy put backs.
    Glad I wasn’t mistaken after watching coach Nick.

    That ad tho lol

    Kenny Smith and Chuck are so damn stupid. They contradict themselves every other sentence. Shaq is the voice of reason... WOW.

    And Kenny, this is why you'll never be a coach.

    All which has amounted to no championships. We shall see but without achieving the end goal all of this means very little.

    This type of question is always funny aka what happens when your better players are not on? Apparently this only applies to Houston

    bruh westbrook has been consistent for about two full months now. its time to throw that out the window. all the spacing makes it even more likely he can continue playing this way. so many of his attempts are at the rim theres no reason to think he cant continue. TNT said tonight he is leading all guards in attempts 5 ft or less, or maybe the entire league ? i cant remember but obviously he is up there.

    We need Westbrook as our official primary ball-handler, it works.

    Once Harden figures out his spots and learns to sacrifice his stats for the team then we are good to contend.

    Harden scores more than 12 points?

    Those guys aren't up there because they know basketball, they are up there because they are entertaining.

    He will have bad shooting games, but keep in mind that the lane will be more open with a 5 on the perimeter that can hit 3’s.

    When Westbrook is on the court without Harden expect the pace to be pushed even harder. It plays well into what Westbrook does well but it also limits the rebounding issues as well.

    Impressive things about last night

    1) Defensive effort was better than any other game the whole season. That may be an underrated aspect of the small ball lineup. They are essentially forced to try hard.

    2) MDA stuck with a legit 9 man rotation in a close game. Never thought I'd see the day.

    3) Covington was Luc and Ariza combined last night

    He did hit a few jumpers. But I would estimate about 75% of his scoring came right at the basket. He was beating his man and running wild in the paint at will last night
