Nah I think they had fears Lawson's D was too much to overcome in the first place. They were confident they could hide it. Well good luck with that. Good teams avoid being in a close game - Morey's own words and the Rockets were clinging to a close game! until it is blown open.
There are only 2 outcomes left to this game. Rockets get further blown out and more embarrassed than they are or they make a run to lose in a manner that box score watchers will think it was closer than it really was.
Everyone know jones can't defend the likes of Green and LMA but coaches continue to go with him is beyond me.
