I hope Harden doesn’t come out dribbling the basketball too much. Harden is a great player but, he cannot afford to handle the ball too much because of turnovers. CP3 is better at setting up plays, and breaking down the other team’s defense. My only concerns are that Eric Gordon and the bench player’s showing up, and I hope that Green gets more playing time. Ryan Anderson has been disappointing the Rockets should pay him out of his contract after this season. CP3 should make Curry play defense by making big shots early and often to keep Curry from hiding behind the picks and shooting 3’s. Capella will have to show Draymond Green that he is not backing down from his foolishness kicking, and jawing on the court. Ref’s will hopefully be neutral. I expect a Rockets win tomorrow night. GO ROCKETS!

Last night was a solid effort by Houston. I will not run from my opinion, even after the Rockets win last night. I never expected Houston to get swept. I thought, and still think it ends in 6. At the end of the day, Houston dropped home-court and got a split. That is a win for Golden State. Now, Houston has to steal one in Oakland. If they don't, I think they win Game 5 and get ended in Game 6. If they split the next two, it goes 7.

From my perspective, despite the solid victory, it was Paul who was guilty of dribbling too much at times

I don’t get why we play this stupid iso ball. Looked like they threw the game last night

Harden is an iso player. Chris Paul covers it up, at times, but at the end of the day that is just who they are. Houston relies heavily on James and his game is iso. It works in the regular season because teams aren't play as much strategy based defenses in those games. Playoff defensive intensity is different, and Harden's game has very rarely translated to playoff success because of it. It wouldn't matter though, GS is at a different level than any team in the league.

With CP3 out the Rockets need Harden to score 35+, with Gordon and Ariza having big games as well. Capela, Green, and Tucker need to keep on doing what they are doing. But one of those first two have to go offf. Don’t think they can’t beat them without CP3. But with the Warriors back to the wall and back home, it’s a tough task.

Harden will have a MVP performance tonight. Gordon will step up and rise to occasion. Tucker and capella will keep bringing what they got. And everyone thinking CP3 out and rockets can’t win tonight they pull a rabbit out the hat and beat the warriors. Rockets win, Vegas wins, NBA wins. We all win! Haha

Rockets got out scored 64-25 in the second half.  The rockets scored 25 points in a half.  That’s terrible.  I knew they were in trouble when mid-way through the 3rd they were 13-26 from 3 and golden state was somehow still tied with them.

      That’s a heck of a take there. If you could just remove Kountze’s top 6-7 players, you got them.

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
