    Lol at the poverty Wolves shooting 26 3's while we had 22 makes. Throwing 32/42 FTs compared to 23/28 for the Wolves also. That's the difference in the game... +EV offensively overcomes our defensive flaws.

    Actually damn. If you look further into the stats, we only had 13 turnovers compared to the Wolves 23. That's 10 more possessions so the 58-31 rebounds doesn't look as bad. 15-10 steals, 7-2 in blocks

    Honestly our bigs are our biggest liability and it's blatant. That's the reason the game stayed in reach. We dearly need Sanders or a stopper! Memphis and Okc will feast

    Point differential is what matters most as I don't mind giving up 130 points if we out score them by 12.

    You must be gay, always crying over the D, lol. j/k Yeah if you bothered to actually comprehend both sentences, I referenced this game and the entire season. The Rockets play good basketball but if you think defense is what is stopping us from beating the Warriors you're dense. All those people crying about defense last year and we're doing better without a multiple defensive player of the year on our roster. We wont beat the Warriors not because of defense but because we only have one future HOF(Superstar) and they have 4 or 5, lMAO. Just enjoy the season we were supposed to be 6th seed or below.

    Terrible defensive effort, although just so much firepower on this team it didn't matter tonight. But damn, Capela looked soft out there. Hate to say this, but watching this game I kept thinking we really could use Bogut or someone similar to get a damn rebound, sheesh.

    Really hope we are more consistent defensively, but at this point we are who we are I guess. Hope we stay focused in the playoffs.

    We are a run a gun team. We are going to need to improve our defense especially our interior d but this is part of the price you pay to be offensive juggernaut. We won by 12 points in the end!

    Anyone else notice that MDA has expanded the rotation to 11 guys now? I'm so happy about that. Minutes spreading out nicely.

    I heard Sanders sucked. I mean he already tried out for Cleveland wouldn't he be signed by now if he was any good?

    If Bullard said "I love you" to the players after the post-game interview it would make those interactions less awkward
