    Basically same problem as last year. Bonkers offense, solid defense, garbage rebounding..

    Well, Dallas’s defense was worse.

    4th quarter is when the big dogs and the lions come out to eat...a little pup like Luka had to go and hide

    What's more amazing is that Harden had 1 TO. Who would have predicted that.

    The Rockets only had 9 TO's that's a big reason they won. We'll forget that RB has 6 of the 9.

    I'm glad we won. Defense needs to be better. Rebounding... well we purposely punted that for other things. Russ continues to be a dog. Cant shoot to save his life but we knew that going in.

    Still don't want to face Dallas in the playoffs. I dont want to watch Porzingis LMA us like the Blazers series in 2013.

    Two things will prevent Luca leading his team in the playoffs. One, his ankle won't last through the playoffs, and second, his stamina is low. He missed shots at the end of the 4th and struggled during OT. He's not ready...yet!

    finney is a dirty little ho. responsible for at least 3 rocket player injuries in this game. we could have used carroll for a quick sub-in to re-align finney's attitude tonite

    wb played doo doo defense

    we missed open shots

    just tougher and better team overall .

    If we can improve some of our weaknesses then we will be great.

    I have been hard on him, and it was frustrating watching him defensively in that first half. Came up big offensively in the second half and a huge 3 in OT.
