    I don't think some of you understand how it works. When they slash, we have to collapse to stop the drive. Normally against Houston this would be fine, but they're shooting over 80% from deep so when we collapse to stop the drive, they are burning us from deep. Most teams are lucky to shoot 40% from deep. It's their ridiculous outside shooting that's hurting us right now.

    Start playing with some fucking intensity for one. Everyone is standing and watching the ball. No one is helping, no one is pressuring anyone. We are just sitting back and watching them pick us apart in whatever way they choose.

    If they're going to start calling every single drive, we might as well just leave now.

    I'm sure there is a database that says this somewhere. How often has the Blazer opponent shot over 55% in the 1st quarter? Over 60%? That is just tough to overcome when it happens as often as it seems to.

    Rockets scored only 19 points in the second half last Thursday. They have to stop making threes at some point.

    We beat Houston on TNT earlier this season and they still talked about how bad we are.

    After they had a 2 game stretch of better defense, their normal bad defense returns.

    We don't have a good defensive team, so usually we try to take one thing away, like three point shooting. Against the Thunder, a team that usually drives and scores in the paint for most of their points, we decided to try to take that away, but they started hitting every single three pointer. That completely destroyed our defensive scheme. Now our guys look completely confused about what to do on defense because they didn't anticipate Houston shooting 82% from three.
