    Out of rhythm due to lack of ball movement. When the Rockets scored that 50 piece on Minnesota, the Rockets still ran ISO but was much quicker in their offense

    He didn't even tell him to play harder

    Maybe that's the secret.

    So according to the NBA on TNT asshats, KD "went off" in the first half (17 points) while Harden "dribbled way too much" (24 points).

    the blocks have been on another level in the playoffs... and the hands to steal the ball from steph!

    if he can up his minutes to 32mpg next season i see him averaging 15-13-2.5-1.5 and winning DPOY.

    Yea CP3 is definitely less willing to throw lobs to Clint but I haven't really seen the opportunities for it this game. Even when we get the switch KD is back home to challenge. We tried to force a couple early and the snuffed them out.

    We need to get back to the dribble hand offs and pin downs that blew open the second half of game 4 against the Jazz

    Moute -12 and Green -7. Their bench is keeping them in the game. Our starters performed quite well vs. theirs on a +/- basis.

    Theyre not playing like ****, just too hard. The time our team was winning on those streaks, our offense was so easy. Not in this game and not this series.

    KD is the whining baby that joined a 73 winning team that knocked out his team. He did what he did and ima keep it real.

    Yeah there is a nice little break in baseball that helps out quite a bit. But I’ve never experienced anything like the playoffs last year. I think this thing will have to go to 7 games to get me the same way.

    Kenny Sith started the game saying Javale McGee can do everything that Clint can do. Seriously STFU Kenny.

    Right?

    Our bench has been better all throughout the season, time for them to show it.

    the warriors are probably the most talented team of all time. we can't do what they do. what we have are two elite iso guys who can exploit mismatches on switches. trying to be golden state is no guarantee of success. given our success in the regular season, our strategy seems as sound as we can hope for. there aren't any great strategies against golden state.

    Warriors are leaving Tucker open to prevent Capela getting a free run at the rim with the high PnR. I don’t know what Chuck is talking about Capela being open.
