    I think its to give Rivers some run with the ball. When either Russ or Harden are in the game, Rivers is relegated to spot up duty and thats not his game. Giving Rivers the ball will make him more comfortable and hopefully wake him up.

    I know we’ve had some troubles on drives but I think we really need to keep on attacking. What we really need is more off ball movement like Green did.

    this is going to be critical in the 4th we can’t be sitting statically watching Harden guys need to move and get open and Harden needs to find them when the Lakers crank up the pressure

    I think the rockets should consider not playing game 5. These fathom foul calls on the rockets and missed goal tend indicates a clear desire for the LA teams WCF. Unless we play out of our minds the refs will not let us win this game. Sad...

    I actually agree with SVG that we need to shoot more threes

    The Rockets look like they haven’t made any adjustments. Just look like chickens running around with their heads cut off. Mike D’Antoni, the offensive genius!

    The fouls are comical, NBA ain't playing around.

    On a side note some adjustments we've seen D'antoni make:

    1. Harden is going to mirror Lebron's minutes
    2. When McLemore plays Rockets aren't willing to give the switch onto Lebron.


    Other than that the pace is too f***ing slow and we are not letting it rip from 3 pt range the way we need to.

    I guess AD just needs to fall down for a foul to be called. The goal tend miss as well. And the House suspension.
