    I would blame the coach for not go over them situations with the team. But this 101 in basketball how to break a double team plus you learn this in HS. Best way to break advance the ball up the court with the pass. But we dribble up the court and allow them set there defense what they wants to do. Remember in preseason we are push the ball more. I guess left that in preseason.

    I hated Evan Turner. I hate Bazemore slightly less.

    He needs to work on his 3 all offseason. West Mathews did that with Jeff Hornecek and vastly improved his 3. Bad shooters can learn to shoot the 3.

    Westbrook is the one who should be punched in the face over Harden

    Hes beyond garbage. He should never ever dribble the ball. He should just play defense and shoot only when he’s wide open he’d be so much better

    That’s what they all say when they have a weak argument.

    speak of the devil, Nas gives up an And-1 due to rookie mistake.

    Tolliver is better suited for the half court game Houston plays, he has way higher basketball IQ/knowledge, and he could have knocked down some of the many wide open looks Nas had all night.

    you can act like the argument is absurd, but Tolliver has still played more minutes than Nas this season, so idk what you’re talking about

    It's not a full court trap though... You do pass the ball to beat a half court trap or pressure but we never have guys in the right spots to take advantage of that. Should have a guard high cross court and Dame's options should be the open roll man or that guard. That guard needs to be there because it's hard to pass the ball to the big when being trapped and sometimes that passing window isn't there, so you change the angle by skipping it across. Then that guard can get it to the big or the strong-side corner. That's what Houston did and it killed us. That's how you beat a trap.

    We never have that setup. Dame doesn't have a good outlet, ever, and Stotts expects him to create 1 vs 2 against it.

    It's not Dame's fault.

    The number of fucking touch fouls this team takes is utterly ridiculous. And Skal is the worst offender. If you're gonna foul, FOUL.
