    We are going to try and let Jalen stat pad.

    I don't expect Alpi to play more than 24 minutes in this blowout loss.

    I'm overly hyped and easily disappointed!

    Bullock will likely get some burn off the bench.

    LIneup-wise, I'm curious if Rockets is willing to go small at a certain point, and lean into offense. This lineup, Senhub is technically surrounded by all 3pt shooters.

    Aaron Holiday
    Jalen Green
    Cam Whitmore
    Dillon Brooks
    Alperen Sengun


    There's some offensive experimentation possibilities.

    4th quarter lineup to steal this one: Jalen, Cam, Brooks, Amen and Alpi. Cam explodes for 30 plus and calls game at the buzzer.

    Think I’m crazy? Just tune in later and see.

    Uncle Jeff, Bullock, Bari & FVV out, all to return on the 24th.
    I guess Coach already threw in the towel and Alpi's there only for entertainment purposes... as it has evidently been pointed out before me.

    So how about a potato instead?

    Good to know. I was considering skipping this game. Now it's a certainty.

    Not with Jalen in there. Jalen will go crazy taking shots to try and outscore Cam.

    Just watching this game to watch Cam do this thing and outplay Jalen. No way we win.

    It will be interesting to watch this lineup. We will see how much we need Fred. No Jabari will hurt, too.

    Lineups.com says Aaron, Amen, Jalen, Dillon, Alperen. Is that true or a guess?

    I hope Nate Williams gets a chance to play if here's here. He's good.

    Jalen is going to have to actually make shots for this lineup to work, or the spacing is going to be abysmal. Really, Jalen, Dillon, and Cam will all have to have hot shooting nights for us to have a chance, and Alpi will have to be on his A-game. Amen needs to limit the turnovers and just do a good job initiating with Sengun.

    This will be super interesting to watch but I'm expecting a tough night, not going to lie.
