    Nene has been just absolutely awful tonight. Easily his worst game of the playoffs by a mile.

    We have the Spurs reeling on offense but we're playing such low offensive IQ basketball that it doesn't even matter..

    i'm starting to question if moreyball works in the playoffs.

    this no mid range jumpers strategy is good for the regular season but it might be way too predictable to gameplan for in the playoffs.

    Doesn't get much more ugly than that half. Horrific all around. No energy. Arena is dead. Players look uninterested. Sad.

    Can the bench save us from another **** performance? I knew Ryan Anderson was going to suck at home. I'd look at Dekker next half.

    There's an entire half to go, and we are only down by 4. No reason to panic. The defense has largely been good, and that's a great sign for when we make adjustments on offense and start to get hot.

    If it wasn't for Athreeza we'd have like 20 points at halftime.

    Harden needs to sit the **** down and just let Lou and Gordon run the offense.

    When Harden doesn't get the calls he isn't the same.

    Westbrook and Kawhi both playing great against the Rockets while shooting a lot of mid Js. Why can't Harden do the same? smh so sick of jacking up 3s when it's clear they are not going in

    No he needs to get more skills when it comes to scoring instead of looking for fouls and shooting contested 3. He used to take a step back mid-range shot but that has disappeared this season

    They won't though. Harden drove to the rim plenty of times the previous game and got exactly 0 calls.
