Gamethread: Game 1 of the 1st Round. Utah Jazz @ Houston Rockets. 7:30 MST

I know everyone here is complaining about the defense, but its the offense that is concerning..

Harden is pick your poison no matter what, thats what it means to be a triple-threat... If he's not gonna get into the lane, he's gonna bury you with step-backs and if he's not doing that he;s racking up assists.

The offense is the part of the equation they need to control better to get a hold of things

Before everyone knocks the defensive scheme, please notice that Harden hasn't got a single free throw tonight.

17 points and 7 assists. He's doing just fine. Oh, and his teammates are building confidence.

He won’t have to if he’s getting wide open looks to Tucker. Harden has 7 assists on pace for 14. Tucker has 11 pts already.

It's just the first half of the first game. They don't look right atm. They'll adjust.

You know what drives me insane? Quinn.

It's ****ing Quin.

But I agree. Was thinking the same thing. Was pretty sure Tucker led from one corner this year.

Quin is God. Quin is Jesus. Quin is Brad Pitt.

It's our rebounding, hustle, and TOs that needs fixing.

Just a huge lead

At least Stokes fire has been entertaining.

 

[Stoked]

Making up the excuse that other teams weren't willing to trade is a pathetic excuse. If Lindsey only wanted to trade for Conley that's even worse.

Conley would have killed it for Utah. Get real. He’d be legit in Utah.

The FO deserves criticism but let’s not pull **** out of our asses

 

[enchilada_style]

So less TO's would be a nice half time adjustment for that defense.

And he hasn't turned it over either, and averages 5. We are playing "careful" defense, which isn't good enough.

The defense was solid until our offense completely stalled in that 2nd quarter. I think endless turnovers and bricks frustrated our offense and gave them momentum.

Thabo probably shouldn’t play. At this point I’d try Allen Tbh.

So I think we should shorten the lineup and go big with Favors and Gobert playing big minutes.
