    What we need to do is shoot more 3s.

    What did I tell you guys. All this talk about open 3's. Not gonna be that many relative to what we're used to in microball.

    The guys are prepared, Mike just needs to put a foot in their ass during this timeout.

    Already pissed off with Gordon and what's up with these fouls, don't blame the refs, we're committing them.

    why are ticky tack fouls being called on one side and actual fouls aren't being called on the other? Why does CP3 flop on every other ******* play? Maybe I just never noticed he did that before..

    Good lord, it's brick city. Bad sign. Fouling. Bad sign. It's like they are doing it all wrong. Luckily, OKC has limited firepower.

    Smart gameplan so far by donovan. They are going to get us in foul trouble pretty quick

    Honestly, I like how we're playing to start. Tucker's hands in rebounding, the energy and ball movement, not just holes in the defense, low turnovers and not signs of allowing offensive rebounds.

    We just need a couple shots to fall, and for the refs to call sht both ways.

    Early takes

    - PJ is hustling all over the court!
    - EG sucks
    - CP3 is trying to draw as many fouls as possible

    Go Rox!

    Rockets looking solid right now. I'm impressed with how they've set the mood here.

    CP3 absolutely encouraging his teammates to get under our skin and exaggerate all contact.

    Chris doesn’t think we’re a mentally strong team.

    The whole team needs to shoot 3s at half.
    Also, refs calling it tight on us but not on Harden drives. Effin BOWLSH!T man!

    I don't care what the stats say, variety is the spice of life so take what the defense is giving you.

    Harden needs to just pull up from the elbow and get a basket.

    Tucker gonna gas early playing like this. He’s having to play way too hard to make up for his lack of size vs Adams.
