    It's only lethal if he is hitting his shot..without that they will sag more and more.

    But if they're burning us in the post in a slow game with lots of free throws where they get back and get their D set we're not going to shoot like we did in games 1 & 4. Our threes are going down when we play uptempo and get our shots off before they set their D. Believe me, they know this.

    The biggest challenge to us is the ref. Hope they don't blow the whistle every time when Clint make a contact with Kawhi or try to out jump the reb from Paul. I noticed that Clint was climbing over Paul's back and grab the Reb or tip it outside over his head several times in Game 3 or 4 without a whistle. But you know they might call it a foul at Spurs home court. That will hurt our aggressiveness in the game and put Clint into foul trouble when we are already short at the bigs.

    Pray the three will fall. Also, the pace and stamina should favor us as we are more used to this intensity. Just run them out. They have bunch of old legs.

    Where they get the ball in the post is everything. It's hard for them to get to their spots, minus Pau, but Pau is old and gets tired easily. I discussed exploiting their adjustment they'll likely make already. We can win this if MDmA is lovin' on this Rockets team.

    Where do you get Australia from?

    I said they need to make their 3s as more of a necessity to win. What's wrong with that? Why does everything have to be ridiculed?

    With Ryno playing 5, the 2015 LaMarcus Aldridge is coming back.

    Hey we just lost our best paint defender and were replacing him with one of the worst paint defenders in the Association. So I'll be very surprised if at least one (and possibly both) of Pau and LaMarcus don't have a monster game.

    I'm not trying to ridicule. Sorry if it came off that way. I must have you mixed up with another member, I thought you were one of our many australian fans on here. I thought you were quoting him as a joke.

    Adjustment is applying in action what we want to do and what is it that we want to do. Control the pace of the game by playing fast and scoring fast.
