We just got beat up. Several trips where we allowed them 3-4 shots and were missing our own.
No need to play out best rebounder though, right? If he’s injured just say so

Kanter wasn’t the answer tonight.
How do we know, considering he wasn’t even tried?

You can’t know, but he’s been a shell of himself lately. Nothing about his recent play suggests he’d do well. They’d get him on the perimeter and just blow right by him. And he hasn’t had a strong base to fight for position.

  • GOT IT!!!
I was disappointed that our team clearly lost the battle of physicality in the second half.  The Rockets were simply more aggressive. 

The cold shooting happens.  I can live with that.  But being out-competed is harder to take.

I agree. Theis was invisible tonight.

Just awful. Brown and Marcus should reflect about their choices. This was bad.

Uh, Smart? What game have you been watching? He's the only one who has gave it his all all night long.

Defensively he's been good. But he more than anyone gets sucked into Houston's game and we CANNOT beat Houtson playing their game. He had a bunch of horrible offensive choices.

Like that potential crucial three to give us a chance to tie the game?
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

I guess they could use the veteran leadership of Kemba.

I like Smart off the bench, better than a starter. Off the bench he's momentum changer.,

Smart foul by Houston.  C's don't have any timeouts.
