    They're trying to get in his head.

    Harden will be fine.

    Dwight needs to get in rhythm, and fast, though

    I think you're right - and more specifically, it's easy to observe Howard doesn't recover much anymore (he just makes one excellent first effort, second effort is rare) and no one else in the starting five even makes a first effort to defend inside, so if you can get Howard out of line it leads to a weakside basket or offensive board putback. As usual, Jones' engagement level is a bit of a driver for the Rockets, and it's not there yet.

    We should put Parsons on Mathews instead. Harden exerting effort on defense early will affect his offense :(

    so far every team played like they were playing playoffs games except the Rockets. They are still playing like they are playing a regular season game that won't bring us anywhere. no defense, 3 points shooting, no rebound and Harden's defense. All must be immediately improved, otherwise this series is gonna be brutal for us.

    Sloppy basketball so far. It looked to me at least half of the points scored by both teams are off turnover.

    Harden looks lazy on both ends. Camping by half court line on offense
