    We're making them hang around. We need to start pulling away.

    Didn’t look like it to me on the replay. My point is he starts crying halfway through every single drive and the refs never call anything for him going to the basket because of it.

    Austin Rivers has checked out of the playoffs.

    Why the hell did he not attack Caruso on that iso instead of continuing to brick from the 3.

    This team is incapable of dominating a team. Sad how we can't just build on a lead when the other team is off.

    We’re negating forced turnovers with our unforced turnovers.

    Somebody kidnapped the real Dantoni. These are uncharacteristic timeouts.

    Man, the period where Harden sits (which could be now) to when he comes back into the game is going to be absolutely huge, especially with the way Russ has been playing.

    Don't settle for step back threes now. Rockets usually let teams back in by trying to take those in multiple consecutive possessions.

    Yeah, he could have beaten him off the dribble and the lane as wide open. He hit his first two, but had way more space than that.

    Yeah who is this imposter? Where's my D'antoni who'll let the game end with us still having 4 TOs? #notmydantoni

    I missed much of the game but not happy with what I'm seeing. Harden looks tentative. He's had a few drives but almost turned it over trying to pass than taking it strong.

    The best thing Rivers could do right now is steal Doc Rivers playpook from his hotel room at the next time out.
