    You guys noticed nick was at the corner at the beginning of the play and Cisco asked him to switch? Not sure if Mchale designed that or Cisco improvised

    Cisco wanted that corner 3. He's automatic from there. And by automatic, I mean a brick.

    So what was the original play design? Midrange J for Terry? Possible dump-off to DMo off the PnR or Garcia in the corner? Ariza with the putback?

    The Rockets have something even better than a 3rd star. They have chemistry. Maybe I'm drinking the kool aid, but I'd keep the roster as is unless the acquired player is someone really special, such as Millsap or Dragic.

    According to ESPN it was a travel, crab drive travel. It is W, I like.

    Lebron is the king of the crab dribble. The refs didn't think that was a travel. Great to see Nick stepping up when needed.

    Johnson needs to figured out a niche in the NBA. As an undersized 2 who can't shoot at the next level, he is in bad situation.

    Soon enough, defenders will back off 5 feet and dare him to shoot and unless that part of the game gets to some level of respectability, his offensive game is doomed. Coupled that with being an undersized defender and he is in no-mans land.

    The start of something special.

    The start of Nicksanity.

    True that. Johnson has a long ways to go to become a serviceable pg. He has a good pedigree so here is hoping.

    How is this play not in the daily top 10 on nba.com? Absurd

    You think Nick could be an Eric Bledsoe-like player?
