    Have the Rockets gotten a replay of anything at a timeout? Feels like espn is only showing minny highlights in game breaks

    The Rox will still win. T-Pups had to come out super aggressive. MDA will rip their ass and we'll play like we give a damn.

    Taj Gibson and Karl Anthony Towns really play old school style Clog the Paint, we are having a hard time getting easy layups. Taj and Karl are 2 shot blockers, wide bodies clogging the lane. Chris and James need to Involve Clint and Ryan more easy shots.

    First game back I wasn't expecting much from him. He still needs to get into shape and get his feet and shot back. He will provide what we need soon enough...at least on the road lol

    The Rockets are disrespecting the playoffs. Time to get serious. The Detroit Bad Boys would be embarrassed for them. Let's light the fuse and sweep these suckers out of round one.

    The Rockets spent a large part of the first quarter feeling out what Minny was doing in terms of trapping and PnR defensively. They gave us a bunch of different looks.

    I'm sure we will adjust to their coverages for the second half.

    last playoffs and this playoffs. just no ability to build our own or stem the other team's momentum. i can't think of any championship team that failed in this area. everything is such a struggle for this team offensively. that second 3 when you just hit one to put the lead to 7 and now can make it 10 is what shakes other teams. back to back 3's to cut a big lead to a much smaller lead give you hope. we seemingly refuse to make a second ****ing 3 in a row all last playoffs and now this one. you just can't build anything if every score has to be separated from every other score. the fact that every single one of our guys except green seem too nervous to make the second 3 is worrisome.

    That's ok, if rose is their leading or 2nd leading scorer, they will lose.

    F Doris with the thinly veiled shot at Harden

    "he uses the right arm to push off better than anybody else"
