    After you score, you run the hell back for defense. Basketball 101.

    We need to slow their tempo down aka play defense.

    We need to keep running because our half court offense is trash.

    At this point if they can hold it under 10 here to end the quarter it would be a win.

    Because they are missing a lot of threes and playing worse than they do normally. We are losing because once again we refuse to play defense.

    Well if you wanna look at the glass as half full, the Rockets are shooting 33% to the Clippers 53%. They're 0-5 from 3. And they've gotten only 2 points from Harden on a couple of free throws. If they quit giving up easy transition buckets and start hitting some shots, they can get right back in this.

    But the effort sucks so far. This is the entire season on the line and they're playing lackadaisical on D again.

    Yes lest blame McHale and bail out the player not running back.

    He's on a very short leash, for whatever reason.

    disagree. we need easy baskets. our half court offense sucks.

    we just need to get back on defense to stop them from doing the same thing.

    The Rockets keep soft fouling Blake. In the playoffs, you should make it difficult for any and 1 opportunities.

    McHale should be pointing these things out in time outs and telling these players to run back.
    Sometimes its a lack of effort, sometimes its a lack of focus. We need a calming leader on this team.

    Bench Jones. He was the reason we loss last year. Soft on defense and offense. Nate Robinson could play his position better.

    What on earth is this jumbotron ***** with their finger moustache?

    That's as embarrassing as Houston's offensive 'structure'

    People, just mute the game like I did instead of listening to the announcing. It's national announcing. You KNOW what to expect.

    Clippers have basically 4 head coaches on their bench plus the ultimate player coach in Paul..
