    On the defense you are 100% right about tonight I was just talking about they have more of a comfortability with James than Cp3 at this point

    While I agree I think hardens run has been so crazy that literally anything that makes harden pass (which usually happens on severe shading) is considered a good thing .

    Still reminds me of Full Metal Jacket, though.

    Do you realize we had zero fast break points? 15 steals might just be one of our best defensive takeaways this year.
    Loved it! I bet Jeff is breathing a small sigh of relief tonight too.

    It's what they call a Last Resort Defense. Nothing else is working, so why not try something totally off the wall and see what happens?

    For the record, what happens is 43 points.

    The defense the Rockets played tonight was like ecstasy to me. I'm very hopeful that they can keep it up. They are capable.

    He was the MVP of the Jazz series last year. He's been hurt but from here on, I believe he will put up numbers. And for the record, he just hasnt been scoring well, everything else he's been the same as last year.

    But Id say his best game was the Brooklyn game early in the season. He will be that guy.

    I don't think they think it's a good idea . I think they are out of ideas hahaha .

    Your best bet at this point is to have multiple long , athletic guys rotate giving maximum effort and picking him up 94 feet from the basket . But even then you have to hope he gets tired and misses shots .

    James is just too good lol
