    One was a moving screen (the first one), so not on Luka. But yes, Luka got hot afterwards

    I really wish Rocket coaches would recognize who has it going and tell players feed that person …and run plays to get that person shots …

    it’s really FVV job but he’s so clueless - Brooks has bigger blinders on than Tari …Holiday will come in and shoot 5x unless he passing to Uncle Jeff

    Agreed. These games happen sometimes. The guys were riding on pure adrenaline for the last few games. You could have thrown a double team of Vernon and Jordan at Luka and he’d still have torched us yesterday. Next game.

    Seriously, it was like watching prime Harden in 2017 2018, sometimes there is no strategy.

    Man, they just have a really brutal duo to defend. Luka is deadly, but if you double and triple him then get ready for a historic night from Kyrie. I think they're an especially bad match up for us when we're as small as we are right now. I can't wait to have Steven Adams in brick wall mode for stretches of the game.

    There are a ton of people on CF who seem to think that every game can be won IF ONLY the coach does the right moves. I'm sorry, but that's not true. It's actually insane to think that is true. Sometimes better teams or better players just beat you, and no timeout-calling cadence or player-matchup shifting will change that.

    Mavs were the better team last night. They're a better team overall. And it looks like the Rockets might be running out of steam.

    LOL. They were not fighting over screens and switch everything during that winning streak as well and nobody was b****ing about it.

    And I wasn't even talking about defending Luka with Jock. I just explained why Ime didn't double team Luka, so I have no idea why you are quoting me with all that Fred wasn't being switched on to Jokic stuff.
