    Exactly, the goal shouldn't be "Oh, you can't stop him so just let him do whatever he wants."

    If Eason or Ego turns him around once and gums up the offense mission accomplished. At least make him do a counter move.

    Literally 24 minutes of an NBA career -> the evidence shows Eason can stop Ja Freaking Morant -> the Rockets alter their defense on the fly to do this

    That's just not the way the NBA or life works man.

    I noticed it recently but I think KPJ/Green have the whole first qt to themselves , then once the second qt hits notice how Jabari was being called to run Screens for KPj over Bruno and he would pass it back to him to either get a shot or pass it right back for KPJ to run another PnR with him.

    Jalen Green's defense against Ja Morant has been impressive.

    So what? Paolo is the best scorer on his team with how much NBA experience? Eason has an NBA contract because of his defense, this defense allows him to come in and create havoc, we see this, we've seen this already. KPJ gets blown past, constantly. Eason does not. We see this. It doesn't' matter that KPJ has more experience, Eason is already a better defender.

    Who said Eason can stop Ja? Was that my argument?

    Bowing should not crunch like that. Those piercing shrieks usually mean the bow is slipping or over resin'd.

    These young Rockets can hang with anybody for the first 3 quarters. They need to learn how to win a game. That will be a work in progress and part of the growing up in the NBA. Patience fans. We have a good thing cooking in Houston.

    One thing I like about Bruno starting is that it might help to keep Alpi out of early foul trouble.

    I am Chinese. That means I played either violin or piano (in my case, both) growing up as a kid. That said, every now and then one of us goes rogue and plays the cello or joins band / choir.

    That's Sengun's issue can he stay out of foul trouble so he can stay on the floor longer every night.
