    We had like 0 spacing at the PF spot during 14-15 and we owned the WC apart from the Warriors. I love Ryan Anderson as a person to bits, and he is humble and hustles his ass off, but does he really justify a starting spot?

    But if you're having dumbass defensive lapses during these moments then you're not a worthy contender.

    They are waiting too long to throw the lob. The lob is there is they just throw it 2 step earlier. Spurs are literally collapsing to the restricted area.

    yea that was a killer... really stupid defense and many other nba players also do the same thing. just poor clock awareness or overestimating some players' abilities to get down and score quickly

    We are good enough to be champions i agree. We are not to be underestimated.

    Ryan Anderson turns into his alter ego, McScrubby Scruberson, when he plays at home.

    He's only Kevin Love jr when he plays away games.

    Compare our crowd to the San Antonio crowd in game 1. Huge difference in our favor. I was there. Shocking, isn't it.

    The Rockets have been defending. Miscommunication at the end, but the Rockets are defending. Are you guys watching the same game I'm watching? The problem is that shots have not been going in and Rockets are having to work really hard to get points. That's the problem.

    That's true, but not so much in the 2nd half

    I don't want to get myself in the "pro mid-range" crowd, but Morey really needs to get someone who can reliably finish within 10 feet. Preferably a PF like Blake Griffin
