    Don't be delusional. Memphis would trade Conley in 2 seconds for James Harden.

    Are we exposed? Are we naked? The next game will provide the answer!

    Your delusional

    The grizz would do that deal as well as every GM.

    Conely played very good for 6 games.

    Harden besides game 2 when he was sick has shot 50% and carved up the Spurs passing scoring or both in the same game.

    I love conely but he's the highest paid player in the league and his value doesn't even come close to matching that contract.

    The grizz won 43 games for a reason and Conley is a big reason why they didn't win more.

    TBH I would love to have him next to harden in the starting lineup. But I also would hate my GM if I made him the highest paid player in league history.

    This is exactly why I stay away from the board after losses.

    Pop has a game plan at this point it's all about who executes better. No exposing, each team knows what the other is going to do. Pop is the best coach in the league and MDA is the farther of the current style of play in the league. This series reminds me of the heavyweight match ups between the Suns and Spurs back in the day. A lot less talent on the floor now than it was then, but I like that it's coming down to team ball.

    All the Rockets do is score inside and outside.

    Once you close down those avenues their goose is cooked....so predictable

    Actually - the Rockets lost this on the defensive end of the floor.

    People have just been disregarding this fact because we only scored 75.
    This game was lost because there was no defensive attrition at all. Second chance points, bad help defense leaving open 3s. It just wasnt clicking at al yesterday and that limited our fast break and transition offense. Having lou anderson and harden together in the same time is a killer and we got exposed.
