    Ball movement immediately got better when the fat amish man went to the bench.

    We all have to admit that the ultra small lineup is doing better than anyone has ever envisioned. Even if you want bigger players out there, the Rockets have turned the Pelicans over a lot of times and the rebounding hasn't hurt them yet..

    One thing we have to improve is closing out quarters in offense with Russ in the floor. That was something we were great at in years plan is finishing quarters but not so much this season . Shot clock turned off should conclude with one good shot and definitely not another possession for opponents

    He one-hand passed it but he is so quick that his follow through smacked his own pass in the the back court.

    lulz

    I love me some Westbrook.

    He is entertaining.

    Only up 2 with a +9 turnover margin is not a good sign

    solid enough quarter...

    but i tell ya now... if we're gonna do this small ball stuff to this extent, then guys need to be able to step in and draw the charge on defense...

    What’s the point of starting Gordon if he isn’t goin to attempt a shot?

    Im encouraged that we are up despite not hitting our 3's that well .

    but james has made a few

    i still think the small lineup gets at a bigger and bigger disadvantage as the game goes on. We are gonna have to hit more of our 3's otherwise i think this could get ugly.

    Our small ball works when the other team gets baited into post ups. Our small ball doesnt work when teams' use the size advantage in PnR and on the offensive glass

    If the Rockets continue to turn the Pelicans over the rebounds might not matter. 10 TOs in the first.

    The Pels gave away a bigger lead, being up is what we could have hoped.
