    When the Rockets made the adjustment to start fronting AD, it really took away his face up jumpshot. We gotta keep adapting and keeping up the intensity the rest of the game.

    Westbrook needs to conserve energy for the end of the game. When everyone else is gassed, Brodie will be able to get to the rim every possession. It really must be frustrating to work so hard to contain Harden and then get WB as a consolation prize.

    Honestly he should be fired for starting Mcgee and playing Howard so many minutes. More minutes they play, bigger our advantage. They dont do anything on the court, slows them down, hurts their spacing and make them more vulnerable to our 3point offense. Like how does an actual NBA coach not know this?

    The Rockets look great so far. If they keep playing like the first half, no one can stop them.

    Rondo is a champion. He’s a savvy guard that knows how to win. We need to respect his game and give him some resistance and not just free reign.

    Everyone in the game is still buying into the lie that size advantage matters. it is so deeply ingrained in people's heads that they can't even consider any other option. Genius of Morey / D'A following the numbers.

    Yeah, but that is exactly how the Rockets should treat AD. Including being super chippy and get into his head.

    Same way that Billy Donovan reuses an in bounds play to win Game 7 that Westbrook knew from last year.
    Same way that Budenholzer has set up the Bucks to be down 0-3 in series to Miami.
