I've got to admit that 5 out lineup Houston's going to use now scares the **** out of me. I would not want to face them n the playoffs.

Ain’t scurrrddd. It’s pretty gimmicky. Give Quin some time to plan. Tucker is cute as a backup 5... full time I think they get in trouble... no rim protection on the drives... we missed a lot of threes. RoCo is not a reliable shooter imo... he’s also hurt a lot. I think they may regret this deal.

You don't beat small lineups with 3 point shooting. In fact we shot well from 3 when we played them. We lost because we were neither big enough nor quick enough. We are stuck in a limbo and couldn't create matchup problem to punish them for playing small. So when Hou plays small against us, it works to their advantage because it neutralizes Rudy and allows them to exploit our perimeter defense which has been horrendous.

Let inefficient Westbrook and RoCo chuck to their hearts content. I ain't scared of that at all.

That's fair, I'm still traumatized by the last game I guess. Over a seven game series we should be able to figure it out.

Ummmmm we shot 28% from three... WTF you talking about we shot well.

Having time to game plan will help. That **** won’t fly in the playoffs. Rudy was open a lot and we missed him. They wanna switch and DM will wear Tucker out. It’s something that works well but has some flaws we will expose.

That's fair too. I think we're all a little traumatized by the losses to the Rockets over the last few seasons. I have faith though. We have a better team than them. And Quin comes up with great gameplans in the playoffs. People clowned him for his Harden defense last year but for the most part it worked. We just couldn't score.
 
CP3 and Capela were probably the two biggest reasons Houston was able to knock us out of the playoffs the past two years. CP3's ability to hit midrange shots at a high clip was a nuisance to our defensive scheme. And Capela's activity and ability to finish above the rim when Rudy had to help off was problematic too.

Now they are both gone.
