    It had way more arc before. What did Lucas do?

    can’t get any worse than bringing out Dan Patrick to get booed during Elvin Hayes’s jersey retirement

    Not saying a lot, but that’s an improvement.

    Seeing Tina Thompson makes me wonder if the Comments could retire her number via the Rockets because see was just incredible as a player for us. She, Coop, and Swoops were truly unbeatable.

    Ironic that the Blazers force-fed Nurkic when the back up bigs came on - after not featuring him when Sengun was on.

    The second game in recent memory I've noticed this after Ayton could do nothing against Sengun to start the game - then immediately got fed and scored twice against the back up.

    Almost like those who scream Sengun can't play defense, don't actually know what they're talking about.

    No even in games where Sengun has no fouls he only gets 25 -27 minutes. Silas just doesnt like playing him that much. He got to the point where he had to.

    I hope he didn’t change.

    Even basketball idiots know more arc is helpful on making shots.

    That was an all-time Tilman move. Brings out a corrupt politician for no reason whatsoever and is like

    He also gets switched out when we need defence, because he can get blown by on that end. He needs to get fitter as well, but that will come over the next few years. Also Garuba was having an impact when he was out there, he was earning his minutes today

    Sengun gets scored on a lot while coming to help our guards who couldn't stay in front of a tortoise and somehow he's the one who gets the rep as a bad defender. Jalen cops a bad rep too but KPJ's lack of defensive prowess somehow never gets mentioned.

    We’re figuring it out but we have to make the gimme’s. Had we made half the shots we could have we’d be cruising.
