    Reaves should have pulled another oblique muscle with all that flopping.

    Lots of respect for the younger Rockets and Udoka…. Could have easily folded after coughing away game 3. It is literally all the younger guys too… no KD, FVV, Adams… and almost no Capela.

    Loved Jabari early and Sheppard protected the ball well.

    Sheppard has shown me something past 2 games after that terrible game 3. Gritty. Tough.

    Reed came through in the 4th! We need to hire The Professor in the summer for Reed to get his ballhandling to a 99...that's the missing piece of his game

    And at the same time hurts knowing we should be up 3-2 right now.

    Love how Reed got shoved by LeBron and immediately on the next possession stole the ball from him and dunked it!

    It was ugly but the last 3 games we looked like the gritty tough team from last season. Hope they can keep it that way if KD comes back.

    Jabari's best game of the series. If the Ari brothers play like this, we will make Lebron infamous.
