    3pt shooting has always been a big problem for us. Prime examples in the bubble so far are:

    Covington 9/44 = 20.5%

    Tucker 10/34 = 29.4%

    Rivers 12/31 = 38.7% (taking into account his 3pt went up because of that one 55% 3pt game)

    McLemore 24/51 = 47.1% (which is good. By far our best spot-up shooter)

    Green 14/39 = 35.9% (His last 2 games have been 1/4) he's had 4 games of 30% 3pt shooting or below.

    House 16/44 = 36.4% (2/14 in his last 2 games) Has a habit of falling off and being inconsistent for long periods after doing well for a few games.

    Gordon is shooting around 24% from the 3pt line in his last 15 games.

    There's no way these guys should be shooting as inconsistent as they are when they're having these wide open looks from Harden and Westbrook's passes.

    What time is tipoff usually where you are in Europe?

    A Rockets home game is usually 9:30AM here - fantastic on the weekend but a productivity killer during the week lol

    Since we're division champs, there's no way we can drop all the way to the 7 seed, where Dallas currently is, right?

    Because 8th is an impossibility and the Rockets have to be above Dallas?

    I would rest harden and tucker. Play Bruno and Carroll because you never know in the playoffs we might need them. Get their confidence up

    Add Luc to that. Although, i'm not sure how his conditioning is going to be. He's looked pretty slow to me in the last two games he's played.

    Net rating of our team with each player on the floor during the bubble games.

    Covington shooting like ass, but has the 2nd best net rating out of our rotation. Good things are happening when he plays.

    Westbrook is last of our regular rotation. -3.8 net rating while he’s on the floor. Has to be better.

    In fact Harden, Cov, House and Tuck are only 4 net positive players of our rotation thus far. A lot of people need to be better.

    More concerning about Cov is not the fact that he's missing them, its that he's passing up open 3pt shots. Thats a confidence issue now not variance. You CANNOT pass up open shots on this team.

    RoCo has far from a confidence issue. That was on full display against Dallas. Dude literally couldn't hit a shot and ended up taking some of the biggest shots of the game at the end. he's averaging 7 3's a game. he isn't passing up open shots. he's one of the last guys on this team that has a confidence issue

    Who can I email so I can plead for the DJ at the games to stop playing ridiculous music every single possession throughout the game? It's annoying enough when there are fans in the arena, but the guys are playing in an EMPTY GYM. Why the hell do I need to hear "EVERYBODY CLAP YO HANDS" every other time down the court?

    Should be an easy win with Sabonis, Brogdon and Warren all out.

    Man I'm so nervous about Ego. We already have some guys struggling with their shot. I hope he doesn't come in and add to that. We will not get out of round 1 if he does.
