    After forgetting how to coach for a week, it’s good to see Stotts has miraculously remembered how to coach basketball. Whew.

    Having Nurk out has freed up the ball movement and we don't have to wait for him to make one poor move after another.

    I like the conservative pass to Pat after he got the turnover earlier when he forced it

    I'm comfortable with him catching and shooting open 3s all day long. At least as much as watching Dame pull up from 30 feet off the dribble anyway...

    I don't want anyone ever bitching about how bad Nurk flops compared to Harden. Never again.

    Nurk flops, though, theres no denying it. He needs to stop it.

    I think a lot of this "the offense is better without Nurk" is overblown and knee jerk reactions. More than likely the guys getting a chance are playing inspired against a big time opponent, at home, and Houston isn't quite as sure how to game plan for some of these guys. It's not like Dame is getting better shots, he's just making more of them tonight. Playing more like he does when he's not in a slump.

    Yes he has. He's lacked the bulk (fat) from last season that stabilized his shot. But that doesn't explain why our offence is better tonight without him. Just the lack of his bad shots?

    Some of Nurk's flops bother me too, but sometimes I think he does it just right and it let's the ref know there was contact. I don't like it when someone barely touches him and he falls down like he was shot though.

    Well it's not just the bad shots, he is a turnover machine.

    Collins has great defensive instincts.
