    Don't worry, they'll be getting a brand new coaching staff in a couple months

    The Mavs are our younger, taller and better 3pt shooting version. Horrible match up for us, we can't stop them.

    We have 75 points at half time. You need to chill. Offense isnt the problem.

    You have to keep in mind mavs are literally the most efficient offense in history and we are a small team. Hopefully they cool off some. Trey burke lit us up and he's been on the verge of being out of the league.

    The perimeter rotations have been poor.

    We foul to compensate for our lack of height against the Mavs.

    It's actually a good thing that Harden gets doubled. It becomes a 4v3 when Harden passes to a Westbrook, who can then tear up their defense with his decision making. The problem is, the execution after the Harden pass has been crap.

    If Russ runs point and you want Harden to get off-ball movement, that'll just tire him out. Plus, the opposing defense is still set.

    It’s early 10 point deficit is nothing to us. Main concern to me is our defense is awful. Dantoni needs to bring in Carroll and LMM NO JOKEEEEE

    You could say the same thing about any other playoff team. Against the Rockets nonexistent defense, every team suddenly becomes All Stars.

    Rockets don’t care about winning a championship. They only care about playing entertaining and statpadding, offense only midget ball

    No defense. No rebounding.

    Just hope Harden can outscore the opponent's entire team.

    I miss the CP3 Harden Rockets that could put up 120 and clamp the other team to 80

    Burke is basically taking warm up jumpers. It seems like somebody is always open on the perimeter.
