    I think we've definitely changed the percentage of the plays, but still within the playbook we've seen before, to give the Gobert sag different angles. Less Harden out top. Paul asking for the low post ISO on Neto, too.

    You might be talking about the Capela to Harden give and go. That's a read off the play for Harden to curl around two picks with Capela handing off to Harden coming over the top. We caught them overplaying Harden's curl over the top, so Harden goes to wing for a Capela give and go dive to the rim. We caught Utah overplaying the curl before,,,I think last game.

    The big adjustment imo was the defense. We took away Mitchell's passing, by sticking to Gobert and Favors better. We switched on the Donovan PnR and aggressively stuck to Gobert with Ariza (to start), not trying to go over picks or anticipate the play (as Kobe showed Ariza doing in Game 1). And Harden had a great game guarding Ingles.

    anyhoo, Utah won the last two quarters...should we be worried. lulz

    Is there a way to get rid of Ryan Anderson's onerous contract without trading or killing him? I mean, I don't wish harm on the guy, but in one of my greatest dreams, I was hooking up with three supermodels while watching TV. One the bottom scroll of ESPN it said: "Ryan Anderson forced to retire due to heart issue" I took a sip of Crown Royal Black and smiled. *sigh*

    If this were Houston, our fans would be leaving already.
