    OHHHH!

    WE JUST GOTTA MAKE SHOTS.

    Thank god they watched film and discovered that you have to make shots in the game of basketball. Sounds like they really figured it out.

    Just incredible. Ime's analysis is we're moving the ball too much and we should just take the first shot we get.

    LESS ball movement.



    Perkins was right, we are the dumbest team in the league.

    I hope they get lucky because they have no idea what the F they're doing.

    Jabari: we just gotta make shots. They made tough shots. We're doing all the right things defensively. Just gotta make shots.

    Honestly what the F did these guys do today? Did they all just go in a room and say "we gotta make shots" over and over again??

    They just came out of practice and repeated "gotta make shots" a million times.

    Starting to believe the conspiracy theory that KD wants no parts of going to OKC in round 2 to be harassed and mocked all while OKC delivers a beatdown in 4 games.

    Hahaha Rockets faking injuries to avoid embarrassment? Starting to believe it…and sounds like Ime is doing the clap clap play harder thing in the form of “make shots”.
