    The one advantage Russ has in this setting is catching people off guard in just how competitive he is, while some will be off the gas a little.

    Raptors commentators are pretty good.

    Biased sure but they aren't haters.

    Imagine a team actually missing a buzzer beater against us.

    ive always liked them, they always give harden his credit.

    i prefer them over our guys whenever we would play the raptors, their commentary was always on point

    People call Harden out for everything, but Lowry is the biggest cheat in the NBA. The amount of times he's looking for the fouls, and the amount of times he flops is ridiculous.

    I'm used to those miracle 3pt shots going in now. I even said to myself that Harden will make those free throws and they'll score a miracle 3pt at the end.

    even the national media commentators are biased. unrealistic to hope they won't be. but as you said just don't hate on the other team. I think our guys are great at that. overtly rooting for their team (as they should) but always respectful of the other team.

    some local commentators just trash us, and I'm sure other teams. not enjoyable. I can enjoy someone rooting for their team but do it respectfully to those who want the other team to win.

    these guys are doing a good job.

    It's this simple .. if Gordon finds his shot .. it's almost impossible to beat the Rockets in a 7 game series.

    The defense doesn’t look good, especially in the paint, and Gordon doesn’t look good. Two things they were raving about in practice.

    We're definitely getting a lot of open looks from the 3pt line.... that's down to the attention Harden and Westbrook get when they drive to the paint. I just don't feel comfortable that we'll ever be consistent hitting our 3pt shots. We literally have too many inconsistent shooters in our team. The amount of times we go in long periods without hitting a 3pt shot is amazing. We're either hot from the 3pt line or we're really cold.

    In regards to paint defense, we've never had great defense..... even when Capela was here. We're basically telling the other team that we'll score more points than you will. We just have to hope Green, Tucker, Harden and Covington gets us stops in the paint.
