    Screw you kenny and chuck. Now the defensive rtg doesn’t matter because we gave up 78 pats to pelicans. They don’t see the games at all because than they would have seen how hot the pelicans were.

    Hey Kenny,,,,regarding your Inside the NBA show comment that GSW doesn't give up 77 points in a half, like the Rockets
    1. the Warriors gave up 79 pts in the first half to Denver last February in a blowout loss, when every played but Klay.
    2. They also gave up 74 to a really bad Philly team in November, when everyone played. Down 22 at the half
    3. And they gave up 71 points in Jan to POR, down 2 at the half, when everyone played.
    They won those last two, just like the Rockets did against POR.

    I find it so weird that Inside the NBA has 2 former Rockets who apparently can't stand the Rockets organization. Chuck is still pissed off because of some supposed 3 million "inside" assurance of payment (which means he doesn't give a **** about NBA rules).

    Kenny, I have no idea. I honestly think it's mostly because he wants to be "one of the guys" since he's such a nobody alongside Shaq and Barkley.

    GSW giving up 70+ points in a half:

    14/15:
    First half: (none)
    Second half: http://on.nba.com/2AJ78Mq (twice)

    15/16:
    First half: http://on.nba.com/2AJcLKG (twice)
    Second half: (none)

    16/17:
    First half: http://on.nba.com/2AJaqzn (twice)
    Second half: (none)

    17/18:
    First half: http://on.nba.com/2AJaejD (once)
    Second half: (none)

    So, that's 7 times since their first championship year.

    Rockets giving up 70+ points in a half:

    14/15:
    First half: (none)
    Second half: (none)

    15/16:
    First half: http://on.nba.com/2AKQITS (once)
    Second half: (none)

    16/17:
    First half: (none)
    Second half: http://on.nba.com/2AKjxjl (three times)

    17/18:
    First half: http://on.nba.com/2AJaejD (three times)
    Second half: (none)

    Also 7 times since 14/15. Is it a bad sign that it's already happened 3 times to the Rockets this year?

    We do give up too many points and are not that great defensively yet, we are inconsistent and rely still on our offense to carry us for most part of the game.

    Way to go reddit! ;)

    LeBron to Lonzo: Tell them nothing

    Audio discovered of the Thursday night postgame conversation between LeBron James and Lonzo Ball reveals the Cleveland Cavaliers star told the Los Angeles Lakers rookie to find his "zone" and "stay locked in" but to keep his words private and out of the media, saying it was "white noise to you."

    A user on Reddit.com first posted a transcript of the conversation heard through a foreign language feed of the Cavaliers' 121-112 win, the first meeting between James and Ball. ESPN confirmed the content of the conversation.

    "Find your zone and just stay f-----g locked in," James said after pulling his jersey over his lips on the court. "The media is going to ask you what I told you right now. Tell them nothing. Just be aggressive every single day. It's white noise to you. That's all it is. Alright? Let's go."

    James and Ball's brief chat became fodder for national headlines after they declined to discuss what was said. James attempted to shield his words from cameras and lip readers, and Ball did the same, nodding along as James spoke.

    "None of y'all business," James told reporters after posting 25 points, 12 assists and 12 rebounds to tie Larry Bird for sixth place on the all-time triple-doubles list.

    Ball followed suit, coyly replying that James "didn't tell me anything."
