    Freaking dependency on that 3-pt line...

    We're getting open looks, we're trying to hit like 50% from 3 pt line to stay relevant against good teams, it's just not going to happen.

    When you go the inefficient route of small-ball, this is what you'd expect. They replaced Capela for this small-ball idea not because it improved their chances, but because Morey and MDA are obsessed with the whole 3-point chucking philosophy.

    But that doesnt change the facts, we are statistically just above average.

    Our inability to hit wide-open shots is terribly disappointing.

    Usually immediately after bricking one, our opponent hits a difficult shot.... swish.

    This, with a good Ego, this team is scary. Sadly, I believe those days are over.

    We are 4/11 in the paint and bricking from three. No chance if this continues, wanted a boring a win but apparently we only win in crazy comeback fashion these days.

    I guess the Rockets had to have blown out the Bucks or lead wire-to-wire or it wasn’t a good win

    here come the b*tchers, moaners, and crybaby fairweather fans

    In the 3rd quarter the rockets will hit 8 3’s and be back in the game easy.

    posted with 6 min left in 2nd quarter down 13.

    They really won't call any fouls inside for us.
