    This is the worst shooting we've had in a while. It's because we're forcing so much crap we're making it easy for them. When Harden is shooting badly, then you know something is clearly off.

    Somebody other than Harden has to step up.

    Far and away the best stretch the Jazz have had so far this series, and they've managed a 3 pt lead. The best stretch they've played and they are shooting 27% from 3.

    Yeah, I'm pretty confident we are about to do what we do and have a double digit lead before the 6:00 mark of the 2nd quarter.

    If the Jazz got hit like they'd be shooting free throws...they're not calling nothing for Harden!!

    We are giving up way too good of looks right now. If this continues we will lose.

    However, part of the reason they are getting those looks is because of our missed shots and blocked shots. Get our own offense back in order and we will clean up some of that defense.

    Still, we aren't switching/rotating well right now. They are attacking Harden's switches. He cheats into the paint and has to recover with desperate closeouts. So far they've missed those shots.

    Their fans are pissed lol. We just need to start hitting 3’s and try to run away with it so it quiets them down.

    It won't last. We're right there and I think thus far House is the only one to hit a three. They'll start falling.

    True, but at the same time he's drawing a lot of contact at the rim that isn't getting called. It's like the refs will only give him perimeter fouls, which is weird.

    You can tell he's not settling for outside shots.
    Driving to the basket mostly and getting protected by the refs, unlike James so far

    Rockets home court advantage is different because the weak crowd lulls opposing teams to sleep
