    remember lou will on the rockets in the playoffs? free throws dried up like the sahara. but put him on another team and they give them out like candy.

    cp3 is old on the rockets, but insprirational and in need of ticky tack fouls on a former mvp.

    harden meanwhile can't look at someone without fouling out.

    You want to know who the worst perimeter defender on your team is? Look at Chris Paul when he plays. If he's trying to force the switch on you and isolating you then you're it. Mclemore when he's in. Harden when Mclemore is not in.

    Hopefully he loves playing here as much as rivers and takes a value deal.

    I hate to say it but we can’t just count on out shooting them. We’re too inconsistent.

    Need to get back to d.

    If that doesn’t work might need beard to go for 50

    Anybody notice that when Jeff Green stepped up to take that charge from Dort, his left foot was too close to the circle, so he lifted his heel to keep it off the line?

    Smart man.

    We are allowing too much dribble penetration. Last three games the Rockets weren't allowing it nearly as much. That's the big difference. They aren't putting as much effort in laterally moving their feet. At the very least I hope they at least show up with their defensive effort in the 4th. This team tends to sometimes only try defense in the final quarter.

    Rockets like to play too cute. If something is working, they should run that sh*t all day. The Green/Harden PnR should be run every time down the court. Green should be in every action, OKC doesn't seem to have an answer for him.

    OKC is making shots, but if you don’t try to stop drives and give lazy effort contesting three-point shots, this can happen.
