    Nene was really good in his limited minutes.

    That's where the organization needs to recognize his flaws and build around them. Championship older players on the roster/staff help with these kinds of things.

    Jazz lucky that it's halftime. We better maintain that energy starting the 3rd.

    Why? I’m a rockets fan. I’m not happy with how we’ve been playing. I posted on a rockets forum that exact sentiment.

    Terrible time for halftime to come just when we finally started getting on a role.

    God I hope there's some game tape being watched in that locker room pointing out the easy bloody shots we're not taking advantage of with this gimmick defense.

    Harden has to go away from the floater.

    All this criticism of Harden, yet Mitchell is also 2 for 11 with 6 points.

    The legend of #PlayoffNene grows.

    Dominated the thunder in the first round in 2017!

    His solid mid-range creates a dilemma for Gobert which helps us.

    Beard can’t be choking in the playoffs year after year and claims he is an mvp, there is a reason why people in the media don’t trust harden, he is just not equipped to handle the pressure yet, when people take away your 3, u gotta be able to shoot midrange 2s or floaters, can’t be one dimensional if u want to be all time great

    I'm happy and sad at the same time. We are really likely to get swept playing against the Worriers like this.

    If James Harden goes full attack mode, ignoring the physical play, and not letting the misses affect him, there is nothing the Jazz can do to stop him.

    The problem is mental with him right now. He is letting all those things take him out of the game.

    Hopefully the the pair of three pointers and that drive got that fear out of him.

    That fear is called "fear of losing" that Hakeem used to say you cant go in with into a big game.

    PLEASE don’t bunch them. House drew fouls and is NEVER playing terrible, unthinkably bad defense.

    Hopefully that last run opens up our offense. We need to stop playing slow and just praying someone hits a three on every possession. James needs to stop rushing his threes.
