    Reed went from being an important part of the team to playing 10 minutes. Good job, Ime. if you get fired after this series, I will drive you to the airport.

    Okogie is better than Jabari. He can guard LeBron or Kenard. Put Amen and Tari on easier matchups to help and pressure, let Durant stick to Rui. The occasional raise in 3 point percentage on a low volume Jabari shot isn’t worth the trade off lacking speed, athleticism, and pressure.

    Richard Jefferson hates the Rockets. Pretty openly. The team traded him to the Nets and he's been rightfully pissed that they forced him to live in New Jersey I guess.

    Sengun and Jabari just stopped after Lebron passed out of the trap. Open 3.

    Wide open 3. Why the hell would you double Lebron? He actually knows what to do.

    See how easy it is for a real NBA team when you run a double team at half court.
