    Theory I've heard from former NBA shooters is standing still on offense and only touching the ball to shoot can catch you off rhythm. Most shooters are rhythm shooters. Notice when you shoot around you miss early shoots bit then you make.lole 10 in a row due to muscle memory and rhythm.

    Is that what you do when you show frustration when someone vents about tactics in a sports game? I notice you do it often as if you think you are some moderator.

    Austin Rivers is the only one playing with any confidence. Play that guy more.

    So, will we adjust? Get back to moving the ball, cutting and mixing it up? If we don't, then we can lose for all I care. This brand of basketball is dumb, disgusting and ugly to watch. 35 attempted threes, ****ing ridiculous. We don't have a coach.

    The 2nd half worries me. The 3rd quarter will set the tone for this game.

    I'm not feeling good about this one.

    Yeah. Our players have been cruising, like just waiting for the 4th quarter to pounce. Not sure I like this.

    Its variance. As long as we're getting good looks, its fine. Role players can't turn down open shots. You saw House hesitate out there, thats not good. If you can't fire with confidence, then next one up.

    Just as I feared and stated yesterday. The Refs will even this game out for OKC...the first half has clearly shown it.
    Fouls...
    Houston 11 fouls called
    OKC 6 fouls called.

    Foul shots...
    Houston 5/5, Harden 3/3
    OKC 11/13... right there is the game...6 extra pts.

    Gordon, house, harden are combined 2-18 on 3's and we only down 6. Consider that a win

    How is this game even close. We are playing good defense or OKC just missing as well
