I'm glad we have defenders like Isaac and Lamar when facing off against a former player like KPJ who would love nothing more than to light us up, but I suppose we need to worry about Green and Gordon too ...

The contrast with these starting lineups is hilarious.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

Why is every single member of the Rockets getting superstar treatment/touch foul calls from the officials?

The rockets have shot 29 FTs in the first half compared to the Cavs 15. That is the difference in this game. That and the Cabs still don't have anybody who can beat somebody off the dribble and/or be a threat from outside.

How do the Rockets shoot 27 free throws in a half? 27! Allen has three fouls, Mobley has three fouls, and Davis picked up 4 in like 5 minutes.

If there's not a major officiating adjustment in the second half, I'm turning this mess off. This is absurd.

Stevens has done nothing positive on the court tonight. Nothing at all. He's not even helping with rebounding.

Also, Allen was bad tonight. Like I'd rather he foul out and play hard doing so than get into foul trouble early and disappear.

I mean we're not just down Garland, we're down Garland, Rubio, Sexton, and Lauri. Also, the Hawks shot 30 free throws in the first half and our bigs were in foul trouble all game as a result.

Let's hope we don't catch these refs in the playoffs ...

Garrison Matthews has a career 63 TS% and has never shot the 3-ball poorly ... I wonder why the Wizards and Celtics didn't hang on to him?

The announcers said he's a streaky shooter, but most 3pt shooters are streaky. Kevin Love for instance was 1 for 7 in this game and 0 for 4 in the loss to Detroit.

Maybe he's a physical danger to teammates in practice ...

I'd like to think those officials won't be assigned to playoff games.
