    Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

    You’ve got to get more/something from your SF. Tucker played 36 minutes, didn’t score, was a -7 on the night. That’s the ballgame right there. They need House back.

    Missed their shots, unforced turnovers, no defense, no rebounding, no passing/player movement, they even missed a few free throws...so yes, they did in fact do everything wrong in the second half.

    Or you call a timeout and pull all of them to send a message about a lack of effort/focus.

    The poor offense in the third with a lot of turnovers and the lower intensity on the defensive end cost the Rockets the big lead.
    Down the stretch in the 4th quarter I believe the Thunder scored their last 9 points on free throws and lay ups. They closed out the game better.
    In these close tight games the Rockets need to drive into the paint more often and perhaps if no bucket may be a trip to the line. If the defense collapses kick it to the open three point shooter. The Rockets scored only 42 points in the second half.

    It’s nothing minor either. He was grimacing pretty much all night and was getting work on it every time he sat down.

    Ding ding ding.

    We built a 22 point lead by halftime in 24 minutes. They got it all back in like 9 minutes.

    He is fatigue. George is younger, better and bigger.

    They also wanted Oladipo because he played his college ball at Indiana University.

    Yeah. Tucker should have his minutes cut back. He has a lot of tread off the tires.
