    They ran to the wings and slowed down. If they ran straight to the basket and kept their momentum, it's an easy pass for a layup.

    Our best rotation was Nene, Tucker, Ariza, Gordon, and Harden. Only those 5 players have a positive +/-, but I'm concerned MDA won't go to that rotation again. We're almost back to the point where Nene is worth playing over Capela, at least for now

    His defense has been solid. You guys aren't watching.. That's fine, I can pay attention for you.

    For the love of I-45, GG is playing like ass and not a peep.

    Derrick Rose resurrecting?? Wtf...

    Twolves do have talent tho

    Team chemistry on court looks off and wierd
    Where'a all those nice quick hit plays that we saw earlier in the season

    The midrange is wide open we need to just take what the defense is giving us

    Maybe throw JJ in there in take those mid ramge jumpers he's known for

    Beard gotta prove these haters wrong and prove why he's MVP and have a monster 2nd half

    the foul on harden's last 3 was clear as day on both the wrist and the landing. there is no way a professional referee just misses that call by accident

    Don’t look for threes anymore, just shoot layups.

    The good news is we played like crap offensively and are still up 1 at the half at 50-49.

    The bad news is we played like crap offensively in Game 3 and were down only 1 at the half at 52-51. And we saw how that one turned out.

    The key is to keep up the defensive intensity. Don't give up easy transition buckets and for God's sake, DO NOT commit touch fouls when you're in the penalty!

    If I’m the Rockets I’m happy about the half time lead in spite of the continued abysmal shooting. One half is history, go out and win game 4 and just bring it home. It’s gut check time.

    We would be killing this team if we ran the offense through CP3 with Harden off ball. Minnesota is giving up the mid-range and CP3 has already hit more than a couple. The driving lanes for him are going to be wide open since the defense isn't going to leave Harden's side.

    High PnR with CP3 and Capela.

    KAT is scared of the lob so he's staying home. CP3 should be pulling up from the free-throw line all day. Once Minnesota starts helping on that everything else will open up. They don't have discipled defenders outside of Butler and Gibson. But they DO have length and athleticism. Use their over-helping against them. They don't rotate well at all.

    We used to be a pick-your-poison offense, now we're just doing dribbling the air out of the ball.

    Save the ISOs for the end of quarters, broken plays, and when Harden is cooking. It should NOT be the first option.

    I knew Luc getting hurt was bad but you can't overstate how bad. I would put Joe Che in and have him go full blast after rebounds...use up all his fouls. BTW...KAT throwing that sharp left elbow every move is NEVER called.

    Yup, Harden's numbers might have improved, but in my eyes he was much more dynamic few years ago than now.
