    If the Lakers intend to leave the other guys WIDE open the entire game, those guys will eventually hit shots. I don’t think it’s a sustainable defensive strategy.

    THAT was quick. . . is he hurt already?

    Rockets don't have enough players to be expected to be good at defense. They're playing 3-4 guys who don't deserve NBA minutes at this moment.

    It just sucks it's going to cost us wins. Not much we can do until Paul and Capela get back.

    Is MDA trying to get himself fired or something? He's the most stubborn coach. He loves to burn out his players. He did the same thing with PHX. Guys are gonna be so tired once the playoffs come.

    I think this whole small ball is odd and stupid, but the truth is that with these defenses on harden the C will just collapse and leave nene on the block. Right now with the shooters its wide open 3’s

    lakers +8.5 was the most obvious bet of all time. We have like 4 legit NBA players, none of which can play defense.

    Update: Kuzma going for not 40, but 50.

    Meanwhile, brick brick brick on Houston's end.

    If Tucker passes up the wide open corner 3, the offense won’t work
