    Udoka has to be fired when this ends. Right on cue, he calls out the team and takes no accountability.

    Enormous props to our guys for going up 3-0 on the Rockets. To say I didn't see this coming is an enormous understatement. I saw us wining a couple over the series but to win three in a row I never expected, although of course none of us expected Durant to be this banged up to miss two of the first three either. Hopefully we can keep our feet on the gas and close this out in 4 or a gentleman's sweep of 5.

    I think this will be turned into one of those large format canvases where the artist paints over the print and it will be hung in either James’ houses one day.

    He hasn’t been good in this series, but in fairness to Jake he plays with great energy and effort. He moves well without the ball, gets extra possessions, is a solid defender, is tough, etc. His main issue is losing all confidence with his shot.
