    Deciding to trap Luka late in the 3rd down 20 plus...Ime's a better coach than what he's shown tonight.

    For those of you that don't have to listen to Dallas announcers, consider yourself lucky.

    Thanks Rockets for finishing that 3rd quarter on a run.

    Nice effort. Should have started to trap earlier so we could adapt to counters…

    Ime was worried about the fluctuations within the quantum field. No other explanation comes to mind.

    Should have been doing it at the first sign of him building a hot night. Maybe not every possession but often enough to throw off his rhythm.

    Lazy, uninspired effort tonight.....the doubling on Luka should have been happening all game...ridiculous to wait til the end of the 3rd qtr. Betcha Luka don't play against GS.

    To the reporters make sure one of them ask Ime why he took 3 quarters to do the obvious?

    Was this some kind of teaching moment Ime wanted to impart on his team or...I'm just confused. He's so sharp defensively so I'm very confused as to why it took so long for this?
