Just trust the system. It will set you free.

Uhh. Mitchell was great in overtime. Right?

thank you jazz for making this boring game a bit interesting hah

Give Mitchell credit for drawing three defenders and getting Conley open looks late in the game. He at least made the right reads.

the and 1 and immediate 3 gave us a pretty comfortable lead, but missed the bunny layup, 2 missed free throws, and had a couple turnovers.

He had an incredible game up to the point that it got into clutch time.

And that's a legitimate criticism of him. His decision making in the clutch has been the driver of MANY late-game collapses. So many of those shot attempts should be kick-outs to shooters.

He passed out a few times after drawing defensive attention, and in those possessions we got great 3 pt looks from Conley. Need more of that - much more of that - in the clutch.

If he dunks that missed layup the game is over. He had multiple chances to ice the game and failed every time.

Agreed, dunk that and we win in regulation pretty easily

No, he sucks. He is terrible in the clutch. Did he even score in OT?

I know you're being obtuse, but Mitchell was actually great in OT once he became a willing playmaker. The opportunities for him to score will be there when he embraces that part of his game in the clutch. I appreciate the desire to put the team on his back and win with his scoring, but against heavy defensive pressure, and with the shooters we have on the team alongside him, he can make teams pay more.

Quin Snyder in postgame said the team was actually told to foul when the Rockets hit the game tying 3, but Royce didn't.

Please just close with House now.
