    The spurs are not better than the rockets they are just better coached. The spurs should be up by 25.

    The Rockets offense and Defense is absolutely infuriating.

    Every one of their players can beat our guys off the dribble and out body the Rockets players 1 on 1 and Rockets are so damn slow they can't keep up with the ball movement. It's pathetic!

    On the offensive end, if Durant is in the game, it's dribble and pass until you can get the ball into Durant's hands. They know this so they just pressure everyone one on one then force the ball into Durants hands and double team him. Thompson can't find an open drive to save his life, ever, Eason acts like he has no idea what the hell to do out there, Sengun knows one thing, post and pound, which they double and everyone else just stands there like, well, hope he can make it vs running around to keep the defense on their toes.

    The lack of intensity from the Rockets is pissing me off. They don't have any damn heart. Get fing PISSED!!! Play like you intend to stomp these dudes into the ground!! WTH grow some damn balls!

    I believe Eason could be the best player on the court if he would pull his head completely out of his ass. His head is so lodged up there cause all he can think about is the g-damn money. EASON, quit being an assh0le and play the damn game!!!

    We are a team that unfortunately can't hide are defensive liabilities. Sengun and Reed can't be hidden. You can hide 1, but you can't hide both. Unfortunately they are 2 of the top 4 offensive players.

    Other teams guard him and he shoots below 30% from three. We're always looking to cheat off of somebody. It's a point of pride, I suppose.

    Really? I think the only difference is, they've made their open 3s. Our D sucks, they can get to the hole, but having 3 players guarding Durant, no way shape or form is sustainable in the playoff series

    He performs a basic move that I love. He moves towards the ball to receive the pass. After catching the ball he simply goes in the direction the defender is closing from and easily get to the basket. It works like a charm and he does it over, and over.

    Rockets need a reed stampede in order to win this game.

    If not, blowout incoming.

    the spurs are getting easy shots and open looks. The rockets are not getting anything easy.

    i think Amen should. He was aggressive early and we were winning but deferred to KD again once KD came in. He needs to stop deferring to KD and Sengun
