    I don’t think anyone calls him a superstar...he’s a talented, low level All-Star

    The playoff teams on the West are all very good. This team even with small is a mess on defense against good teams. There is ZERO reason guys should be open. There is no discipline and they have very low IQ on that end.

    Good game plan, James. Let them win the half because you gave them a couple misses at the line. Feed them that false sense of hope and then crush 'em.

    Our role players are all either hot at the same time or cold. No in between.

    He's entitled to miss a couple of free throws. He doesn't often miss, so give him a break.

    We have to start talking about Westbrook and that 2nd unit.

    Something is off.

    Same defense we've been playing all year. The jazz are just a good team. Unfortunately it's not the Warriors again.

    Defense was better in the last few minutes of the half.

    Hopefully they keep it up.

    By going small, Rockets cant relax on defense because they dont have a shot blocker to erase their mistakes.

    They pretty much have to play defense the entire 48 minutes.

    What a poor coaching by MDA. This run couldve easily avoided.
