    Hopefully we can play well for longer than 6 minutes tonight!

    You mean, Play D, cover for our guards, and stand in the corner?

    Right now we playing like it’s Dame or Nurk for the offense and feels nice.

    I hope they feed Nurk and Kanter all night. Rockets can’t deal with them.

    I highly doubt they will. We have too many selfish players that want to get their numbers.

    How many players does Houston have? Enough for people to foul out?

    We really do get open shots after Nurk touches the ball.

    CJ goes 1 on 4 on a fast break once again. So predictable.

    I honestly don’t understand Dame and CJs positioning on defense. Why are they both in the paint?

    Agreed they should at least stagger them a bit more.

    This team cannot survive Hood Melo Dame and CJ all on the floor defensively.

    Harden certainly passes more than CJ and gets good looks for his teammates.

    How are we losing to 2/3 of a team?
