    +/- numbers for the team look kinda crazy right now. Glad to see Lin is playing well still. Beyond that.....

    How can Lin leave Hinrich wide open?? Why is Bev constantly going under the screen? Where is our help defense? I just don't get how this team can perform so well against the Pacers, the Heat, the Blazers, the Spurs etc. and then play like crap against the Bulls. Really frustrating to watch.

    I would rather have tougher players around Dwight and James that are more like Beverley. Gotta be able to play hard through injuries and have stronger mental toughness! I like our team though maybe we just need more time to mature.

    Should have let Lin play longer. Bev has no offense. Harden is having an off night. Hope they regroup after halftime

    Definition of inconsistent!

    Takes more than half a "good" season to get teams to consistently play hard every night.

    They're lucky to be down only 8. They're getting outshot 53% to 34% and have more TOs than Chicago. The only reason they're not down more is because they've been getting to the offensive boards.

    The good news is they can't play much worse in the 2nd half. They could play as badly, mind you. But not worse.

    I expect a totally different pace after the half.

    Go Rockets!

    I think we've gotten comfortable with playing like crap in the first half and then hoping for big third and fourth quarters. Not smart game planning

    Bev gave up 8 points to Augustin in 5 min., maybe Westbrook got into bevs head

    Lin had to help. Bev was guarding Noah in the post.

    Starters shooting 28%.. And only down 8. We must step up.

    If you saw the play, Bev got switched with Dwight, Joakim over Bev, so naturally the help defense will collapse on Joakim, in that case, Lin came over.

    This team has turned the corner at home. Yet to do so on the road thus far.

    Those 4 guys are playing horrible. Harden needs to shoot more closer shots. Jones needs to stop shooting weak floaters. As does parsons.
