    Dort actually plays great defense on Harden, they should try other plays

    We go from great defense, to just not even challenging the shot?! WTF...

    The Rockets need to realize some players are really good at 1 on 1 defense, and its relatively simple to run real quick back action to get those players OFF the guy you want initiating the offense.

    Get Dort off Harden... shouldn't be hard..

    so it's not a moving pick if you pretend to lose your balance to clear out a few defenders.... got it. Classic Golden State move.

    Jeff Green fastbreak turnover and that steal that ended up going back to Adams were unfortunate plays

    I'm going to repeat this until I'm blue: WE NEED WESTBROOK for these prolonged cold spells.

    we need russ. Dort is gonna keep locking him down. If we have to rely on contested stepback 3s for Harden to score then thats a gamble.

    Dantoni can’t find a way to get Dort off Harden?

    Thunder only had 2 points through first 7 minutes this quarter, then go on a 9-0 run in about a minute.
