    Self inflicted. We were in the 3rd Q, the shots we were taking weren't good enough. Didn't do the things we did in the first half that led to success. We were pressing & forcing the issue.We had a formula that was working.

    Favors?

    He stepped out of bounds. Not that that's the cause of it. The play at the top of the floor was the problem. We had a breakdown at the top of the floor. That allows him to catch it & finish. Not good enough keeping guys out of the paint.

    Team meeting a few games ago. Tonight symbolic of the season. Will this turn around or won't it?

    We have an opportunity. Our opportunities are there. 10 games left. We gotta play them all. Season isn't over. We can still get in. We have to take care of business. No more excuses. No more team meetings. Time to play. No more time to talk. Time to play.

    We were slow in the 2nd half. Didn't get to our spots quick enough. They go deep in the shot clock & grind you out. They're physical. They do a good job of defending you. They don't give you anything easy.

    Dwight gets murdered defensively inside and outside regardless of the situation. He does not even challenge the shot anymore, even if the shooter is only 2 feet away. Stop making excuses for his lazy ass.

    16 up at the half. On your home floor. Playing basically for a playoff spot.

    You don't lose those games. When you do, heads should roll..

    Honestly, I'd rather watch Lowry, Scola, Hayes get us the 14th pick in the draft as opposed to Harden & Howard. At least they play hard, and you can genuine get behind them every game.

    We have got to find a way to be a better rebounding team.

    We got absolutely crushed on the boards and it was the difference in the game.

    Same defense for Howard every game. He is the one that should demand the ball or work harder to get the ball down low. Plus he has not post up game. He doesn't even have a consistent shot. Plus he has cash out mentally on the team.

    Dwight with 5 points 8 rebounds. Played lazy D as usual. Earning 20+mil this season. What an asset to our team, this guy.

    The big SOFTIE Dwight has no business being up there with the great Rockets centers. Travesty.
