I smell a Chick-fil-A sammich coming up.
Always remember, my friend: the world will change again. And you may have to come back through everywhere you've been.

And then I jinxed him. Kev, stop shooting the long jumpers. You can be a post player.

And Nene gets raked across the arm. Of course, refs will find a way to help Rockets.

That's the problem.

All of Booker, Ves, and Kevin need a place in the rotation. But not all of them on a regular basis. And not Booker over both Ves and Kevin every night. All three are different. None are complete.

He should have had it fluid with them at PF all year with Gortat and Nene as the centers.

A better coach would have realized that.

How does Harden get so many calls?

What was that ?

And why have they slowed it down when the up pace it what was working. Keep the peddle to the metal.

You slow up, they will regroup. F running down the clock and going into half court.

RANDY. IDIOT.

Not easy to do. It's all about matchups and the Kev gets hurt. Nene is limited and Gortat is playing like a wuss. I'd rather have a big lineup with a big 4 man next to Gortat instead of Booker, who should come off the bench. Ves should come in for 10mins for energy. But kind of tough for these guys to get going if they play 2 minutes one night and 15 the next night. It's like Porter, he's never going to do much playing 5 minutes a night but I don't blame Randy for playing him more than that because he's not ready.

They are all bench players. They never know when they are playing already.

It may not be easy to do, but it need done. And yeah, I agree. I would rather start Ves or Kevin as well and have a bigger front court. Said that to start the year.

Why isn't Ariza guarding Harden? Beal is hopeless

Randy is an idiot for slowing down the pace instead of them just staying with what was working.

There's a world of difference between Beal and Harden, and wow is it showing.

Beal has to man up and be better.
