Western conference semi-finals: Game 1 — Jazz @ Rockets 4/29/18 1:30 pm MST

The key is not having Paul AND Harden go off on you. Gotta shut down one of the two... plus their defense is much better than OKC's. Gotta rinse the thought that D'antoni is only a superb offensive coach. They've got a lot of guys that take pride in their defense now.

That being said, Burks isn't good. Exum isn't great. We don't have the guns or the legs tonight.
Would like to see Mitchell continue to seize the spotlight.
 
I can’t stand the way the Rockets play they literally try to get fouls rather than actually looking to score half the time. They also don’t miss. Hard combination to beat especially when we can’t score when Mitchell goes out.

For all of the complaining about Exum, his ability to drive to the basket is critical if we are going to have any chance.

He can drive to the basket at will. It's that he often doesn't know the right play to make once he gets there. Same with Burks.

Burks is a horrible finisher on his drives. Exum is only a bit better.

I can't count how many times in the past few weeks that Exum has badly missed on those drives. Or he loses control of his dribble and turns the ball over. Dude has potential, but he needs to learn how to maintain his dribble and finish at the basket. I've been really disappointed him this season.
 
I'd rather Favors play the center right now. Gobert is so passive that this ranks as one of his worst defensive performances of the last two months.
