    Better passes better shot selection and more defense is what we need in the 2nd half

    3 embarrassing turnovers after a rebound/made basket.

    If we can just stop that nonsense and hit open threes, should win it

    good thing Harden is really utilizing the floater this year...all 10 of his points were off floaters

    he can’t get a clean look off from 3, and the refs are allowing him to get hit or mugged after the release

    Harden getting hit on his shots with no call, and then we wonder why there’s a “playoff Harden”...these refs make the game so much harder by letting guys foul him on his shot attempts with no call

    He has to be like 80% on those. He hardly misses them.

    Rockets can win if they take care of the ball and Gordon/Tucker decide to show up offensively. We’ll see what happens.

    The Bucks are going to test our guards any carelessness will be rubout kayups they are not playing and they are going to swarm James and Cp3 to test the Ball Handling.

    He hasn't done anything. His teammates are the ones getting him his points. When he has posted someone up, he's missed the majority of his shots or passed it away.

    They did that in the first game. Playing the passing lanes. That’s why you have to be on point with your passes. Makes me wonder if the Rockets bothered to go over the last game to learn from their mistakes.

    He does the same **** over and over again. Yet, no team is still able to figure a way to stop him

    The bad news about Harden's new awesome floater is he'll attempt less layups and therefore will attempt less free throws.

    I wouldn't worry about the free throw attempt stats going down though. The floater is an amazing new weapon his arsenal that will be quite useful in the playoffs.

    The way they let harden drive to the hole, why don’t we let Giannis shoot from deep?

    Back off, if he drives, it’s LITERALLY one move. Drive left, spin right, dunk. Cut it off

    Their defense has worked against Harden. Harden with no free throws, no three pointer, and four turnovers.

    Giannis has the worst +/- of all the bucks players. Their bench with their 3‘s have turned this game around. Not giannis.

    Everytime we play the bucks i feel like giannis isnt that much of a threat since he cant shoot threes at all. Idk maybe it’s just me, but i dont see the impact he has. The bucks are crazy good without him. He is AD with a better team to me.
