April 23, 20196 yr Awesome that sounds like exactly what I am hoping for, will check it out when I am at my laptop.

April 23, 20196 yr What atrocious defense and ball handling by the Rockets. It's almost like they want this series to go longer. Appreciate D'Antoni's early time outs.
April 23, 20196 yr Just now, mycox said: Capella looks lost out there Missing his defensive rotations and getting blocked by smaller players. Wouldn't mind seeing some Nene out there against Gobert.
April 23, 20196 yr They blew their wad in the first half and we played poor. I like our chances if we don’t shit the bed in the second half.

Just have to gradually cut into the lead. It will be helpful if Capela ups his intensity too - he has to finish more consistently around the cup.
April 23, 20196 yr We should be down a lot more than 6. Steal this thing and get some extra rest, fellas.
April 23, 20196 yr Going to need another hot quarter BTA. Capela is useless and Gobert is allowed to tackle our players in the paint.

April 23, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, HtownHorn said: Did Faried get hurt again? The bench has 5 points tonight, pathetic. I don't think so. I would have liked to see more Faried when Gobert sat last quarter with foul trouble. But that 3rd quarter went well so can't complain too much. Really need to put Gordon back in and feed him.
April 23, 20196 yr Capela needs to be benched for the rest of game. Not worth playing him this game, he just doesn't have it.
April 23, 20196 yr Might be nice to run some offensive sets that doesn't involve shooting from 3 because they aren't falling.
April 23, 20196 yr man this team just throws up some putrid offensive stretches every now and then. oh well, on to wednesday.
April 23, 20196 yr Some of the Rockets body language really poor in that 4th quarter. CP3 trying his ass off with little support. Hopefully it gets done on Wednesday.
April 23, 20196 yr D'Antoni's rotation got really short again last night, and the team was out of gas in the 4Q. Faried got 5 minutes, that's retarded.
April 23, 20196 yr With Capela battling a virus, and his ineffectiveness, makes it all the more baffling that Faried didn't get more minutes. Nene got 0 minutes.
April 23, 20196 yr They went for small ball, against a team that routinely plays 2 PF/centers. It was a weird decision, but with no interior presence, they just chucked 3s most of the game. Only 5 points from the bench doesn't help, but nobody really got going. For as much shit as Harden gets for game 3, the team collectively sucked pretty hard in game 4.
April 23, 20196 yr It would have been nice to have the extra rest but it'll be nice to hopefully end on a home game before going on the road for 2 tough games in Oakland.
April 23, 20196 yr They went for small ball, against a team that routinely plays 2 PF/centers. It was a weird decision, but with no interior presence, they just chucked 3s most of the game. Maths... This is where the math says to put in smaller players and shoot me 3s...Over time, the math is right. Unfortunately, there is no math for runs, good or bad. The answer is to meet the best shooters keep shooting.Would be great if the math would also say something about increasing short term success (higher percentage 2s) when NPV of 3s is not paying off...It seems only Chris Paul has the mid range green light.

April 24, 20196 yr Going to just a 7 man rotation in the 2nd half was definitely frustrating. If Capela is ineffective, you'd think Faried (or Nene) would get some time and if we're going to play Tucker at center to go small for significant stretches, probably need Green to get more than 3 minutes in the half and/or work in Shumpert.
April 24, 20196 yr Meh the jazz are a good 5 seed that didn’t want to get swept so they turned it on at home. Houston will win tomorrow and get ready for GS, the small might have been Houston being up 3-0 so toss out a lineup we might use against GS and get them some run in a non pressure situation. Either way this series is over tomorrow.
April 24, 20196 yr If they call the contact in the paint straight we will win. Prison in the paint ONLY, and we will be sweating it out
