    Harden reaching Chamberlain hookers level of free throws! 4700 over last 6 seasons. :eek:

    Would like to see us do what EGO just did...push the ball up the court...sadly EGO has had trouble of late finishing at the rim.

    James is getting burned left and right too easy, needs to do a better job there.

    Do you think our team understands that Exum is not a shooter?

    We are closing out super hard on him like we are afraid of his shot

    Yep, He’s got the “step aside and slap for the ball” on lock right now, he’s stealing my D game on a guy I can’t stop in a pick up game

    Good quarter. We matched their energy, withstood their run by a feisty Exam, and overall played smart.

    Gordon rushed that. If he slowed down a little at the end he had an easy layup.

    He clearly did that on purpose. Gave him the free lane to force the shot so they could get the ball back.

    That last drive by Mitchell he bailed us out by kicking to the corner. Harden didn’t even try to stay in front of him

    He had help defense behind him on those drives and knows it, there’s been a couple like the Ingles wide open layup after blowing by him but the others aren’t as bad as it looks. He then just switches

    It’s called help defense - Nene was there that’s why he kicked it out.

    This start was paramount. Harden set the tone. If we got down against these guys would have been tough. Now cp needs to take over the second unit

    Needs to play real defense like the first half of the last game!

    I love Gerald Green but he comes into the game ready to score but not ready to defend. I wish he would focus more on that end.
