    Just keep it within 5 or 6 and hopefully we got hot in the 4th.

    I understand using small ball as a tactic. But it's a tactic. I don't know we are forced to ALWAYS play small ball regardless of context. If Harden is going routinely get 4 or 5 fouls by the end of the 3rd, this isn't sustainable. This paint defense isn't sustainable also.

    This team is almost incapable of easy wins like they were during their dominant run in 2018 and it's because they give teams too many second chance opportunities and easy looks in the paint.

    Every time this team starts to get praised they **** the bed. They are literally playing with zero intensity

    Two MVPs are on the bench? Looks like D'Antoni prefers to stay at the #4 spot instead of moving up.

    Refs have been one sided ALL game. The Rockets aren't getting any of those friendly calls Portland's getting

    I don’t think PJs shot will be back. It’s to much to guard guys that are all around bigger than you all game.

    Sit Mac and leave Rivers in. We’re lucky to be this close.
