    Our offense was so fucking ugly that last 6 minutes. Houston extended their pressure and we were fucking lost... Kept running the around the world set which is a horrible set to run against pressure, but Stotts hasn't learned that yet. We should be in this game, but nah... We fold to the pressure. Again.

    I just looked at both 4 point plays by Harden. His feet always land in front of him which is why Nassir's foot lands on him. I thought the point of the rule was to give the offensive player room to land where he shot the ball. It makes no sense to give him a whole circle around him to land. Why even allow defense at that point? I hope this is a point of emphasis for the league next year. It's completely unfair to the defender.

    It's crazy. They give him basically EVERY call. It makes the JordanRules look like nothing...

    We are not good defense especially that 2nd unit. Shooting 27 percent from the 3 that good enough to stay in the game.

    Yep he needs to take those shots. He’s a rookie. They will start to fall. This experience is the best thing that could happen.

    That's why ET plays Harden with his arms behind him, Ginobili style.

    Good effort by Little but he's raw and just needs to stay within himself not try to do too much. I really think he shores up our first unit D. Nice defensive effort by Skal. Our first unit is fine. We have no depth to make a decent second unit.

    Absolutely love watching Ant play. Such a good passer. No doubt he's gonna be a stud. Feel like Ant needs to be the one who breaks down the defense in the second unit.

    The problem is we have never handle pressure it not all the coach we got veteran PG that hasn't handle pressure since he been in the league. That to me been the biggest Achilles heal in his play. I don't taking last second shots I mean he doesn't handle double teams on him it might have something to do with his height.
