    He's not garbage. Stupid coach shouldn't let him inbound when he's one of the smallest guys on the court.

    The worst thing about this game is the Pelicans are allowed to foul and be physical while getting calls at their end.

    Harden was 5 feet away from that white player. How did he foul him?

    they are a young team, we got quick guards out there... so why not try some trapping

    Why is Beverly not on Rivers? Won't make a huge difference with all the screens but still...

    There's gonna be a lot of screens and PnR in the playoffs. We learn how to defend them.

    Even Babbitt can blow by Harden, his defensive effort is horrid.

    I feel like to get a DECENT game from Lin we have to deal with him doing worse than his usual bad on the other end of the court. Were is this ratio/stat?

    It's not just the points Rivers is or isn't scoring. When you have someone constantly getting into the lane that's not good. Forces bigs to come over and help leaving their man for the offensive rebound..Draws fouls...Finds open teammates...

    His points is not the only issue with Rivers getting by whoever we put in front of him and us not being able to defend picks.

    Thee last few games have made the rockets scared to play defense.

    The officials only let the other team d up and be aggressive.

    Don't do that to yourself man. Don't do it.

    You're just going to go crazy.

    Many a night has been spent in complete darkness, with a bottle of alcohol, and my own thoughts.

    Why can't Kevin see how effective the P'n'R is, why can't Kevin acknowledge we go ballistic when we have constant movement, why did Kevin stop constant screens after the first quarter against the Clippers when they were completely bamboozled.

    Don't do that to yourself man. Nothing good comes from it.

    At least they're playing with more effort now.

    ... This would've been an easy win if we had done this all game.
