    well, for the first 18 minutes of the half, the Blazers were moving the ball and themselves very well...then they just stalled. I'm not sure if Houston made any adjustment or not, or if the Blazers just dropped into old habits

    and on of the biggest old habit is lapsing into iso mode when the opponent ratchets up defensive intensity

    He needs to work on his 3 he's getting a lot of wide open looks. Like his D just needs to be smarter about it.

    I just wish that calls were the same both ways. Capela just gets a FT he's barely touched. Little ONE play ago, got hit just as much and it was a good no call. Just call it the same.

    Blazers, just because Harden or Westbrook drive to the hoop everybody doesn’t need to just completely leave the 3PT shooters to help

    it was a weak foul, but Harden gets that call every play.

    Much more 'player' based than 'scheme' based.

    This is what happens when the coach runs his franchise player into the ground by mid November

    Rockets seem like a bad team to quit guarding the 3 against.
