I still believe that maybe even more so in hindsight after all of these injuries have happened. It's been just a worst case scenario for the Dallas Mavericks. I feel for their fans. terribly and i think that that press conference is another like just notch on a long string a continuum of um absurdity in the post luca dallas mavericks existence so we've long passed the point where

It's a great question. I think that the key for Houston all season long has been the possession game. Houston does not turn the ball over, and they are the best offensive rebounding team in the league. They averaged five more shots per game than their opponent this season, which was second only to the Oklahoma City Thunder team.

And I think that maintaining that, if not increasing it on a team in Golden State that forced the most turnovers in the NBA since the trade deadline and had the best defensive rating in the NBA since the trade deadline. is just absolutely critical.

And I know that since the trade deadline, the Rockets have been just average in offensive turnover rate, but a lot of that is because of them not having Fred Van Fleet, who I think will be huge on both ends for them in this series. But yeah, offensive generation in the half quarter is going to be really tough for them. And...

Pounding the offensive glass with Ahmed Thompson, Tyree Eason, Shangoon Adams, just being incredibly physical.

I had to lift my son in his stroller out of the subway two days ago, and my back is ruined. So that exercise I'm tapping out of right now. I just want to let you know. It's absolutely not something I'm interested in doing. All right, continue.

I will say that... I think Shingun is just really important. I mean, obviously he's their best player. I think he's really important in this series offensively. I think whether he is posting up Draymond Green, using his size, using his quickness, drawing fouls, that's huge. Drawing double teams potentially, creating open looks for okay outside shooters on his team, whatever.
