    No just overreaction as usual. Criticism equals anger ;)

    People can crap on OTMax for his criticisms, but you can tell by the postgame interview that CP3 wasn't entirely happy either. He brought up the lack of defensive intensity at the end of the game. Even a big win does not mean we played well. Draymond Green crapped on the Warriors effort last year even in the middle of a winning streak. The little things you let slip by now need to be ironed out well before the playoffs. Might be frustrating for other fans to hear, but I'm glad that one of our team leaders refuses to be complacent.

    You mus not have been during the lean years, just enjoy the team for what they are, imperfect yet a joy to watch. You need to be a Dallas fan.

    Yeah he does, when he doesn't play defense.

    Wait...so what is saying klay is better than harden because harden is fat and lazy...is that not an overreaction? Because you said that. Is that how you feel?

    I was AT the game last night in SLC.
    Actually had a great time with some of the other Jazz fans around us.
    We all had some laughs at the 'acting' and fouls called both ways.
    Game was a little too close in the first half. Then we blew it open in the second half.
    Wasn't even worried in the 4th Q. Kept them at arms' length. They just didn't know what
    to think when Harden was hitting 3's and making plays. They hated CP and kept yelling for him to go back to LA. LOL
    We just had too many weapons. They would frantically try to cover on D, but then someone
    would splash in a 3. Kept the crowd quiet.

    But that Donovan MItchell kid is the real deal. Quick as a cat.
    I think he's going to be a star in a few years.

    Last night was a big deal.

    Rockets played the grind it out style for one half of basketball and then exploded in a 3-5 minute span that ultimately put the game away.

    The difference is that the Rockets can just lock you up for short periods while also lighting your gym on fire.

    Blazers injury report for the Rockets game on Saturday. Pretty big loss for them inside.

    It will probably transition the Blazers in to the teams of the past.

    its in human nature to relax when, as someone already said, you have someone at armslength. this game does not contain example of some problems to be fixed, players are just bored, like we all are.
