    I can't tell if it's because Dame and CJ have too big of egos to just let someone else do the scoring, or if Stotts wants them to get a certain amount of shots up, but they always do this. No matter how well something is working, we go away from it and Dame and CJ start burping up shitty deep shots, or forcing one on one drives into the teeth of the help defense while everyone else ends up watching, and our entire offense dies.

    I don't understand why if we have Zach and Meyers, Meyers is the one protecting the rim

    Houston can't miss from downtown. They will cool off, though

    Dame is making some blunders on defense. He hasn't looked the same since that GS game

    Nurk needs to get in better shape. He plays like an all star in the first few minutes, then does almost nothing the rest of the game

    What are you talking about? You obviously missed two or three plays in a row where they doubled Nurk when he had the ball in the post.

    While if this the game plan to allow them to shoot 3 then it pretty piss poor game plan.

    That's nearly impossible.

    Elite handlers with a first step like Harden are just going to attack that lead right foot and at that point he's got you on his hip and you're done.
