Yikes! The turnovers! That’ll kill us.

These Rockets are legit title contenders though. They’re not going to beat themselves. C’s gotta show what they’re made of tonight.

I still don't buy them getting past the Warriors. Their style is just not conducive to beating a team like the Warriors four games out of seven.

What style? Top tier defense with an unstoppable offense? They’ve looked like a juggernaut as of late.

What style is conducive to beating the Warriors then?

At no point should the Celtics be playing two bigs on the court at the same time.

Not against these Rockets.

Yeah, I'm not really understanding this either, especially with Anderson out, too. Looks like we've already inserted Morris and/or Smart, but why wouldn't we just start with Morris instead of Baynes? It's not like Al was going to take advantage of that size mismatch over Ariza, and I'd much rather have Al defending Capela in the PnR than Baynes.

Jacking up an inordinate amount of threes. It's that exact style that put them up 26 on us in Boston only to let us come back and win by one. They're not going to be able to make enough threes to win four games over GS in a seven game series.

Rocket dribblers extend that off arm to protect the ball.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

Can't see the game, just the score. What's the vibe guys and gals?

Big AL is an average low post player.

I also don't expect Monroe to play. He's not a good match-up for these Rockets.

Lol refs protecting Harden already on a blatant charge  ::) Of course it was terrible Ed Maloy.
