    I get why everyone is talking about how Barea was killing us, that's true, however the guy that was really sticking it to us was Aminu. Not only was he draped all over Harden defensively, which disrupted the flow of the offense, but he was knocking down threes at a high percentage rate, unlike Ariza who was 1- 9 going into the 4th quarter. That can't happen if the Rockets want to win the series. The Rocktes live and die by the 3, and guys need to be able to knock down shots.That's the bottom line. That being said, there's no reason NOT to feed Howard the ball down low. There is no one, I repeat no one in. Mavs uniform that can stop him. Of course, Howard will need to hit his FT's to dominate.

    As an aside, I sure hope J Smith doesn't start chucking more 3's because of his hot shooting in the 4th quarter last night. He's at his best attacking the rim and dribble penetration lobs to Howard. Also, I would use either Smith or Brewer to guard Aminu to keep him off the glass and out of he lane.
