    Tari's OFF REB made some national news coverge. Sam Quinn of CBS sports

    "Rockets rookie Tari Eason posts one of the most bizarre box scores you will ever see

    [​IMG]

    Tari Eason is a good offensive rebounder. He might even be a great one. Among rookies this season, he ranks third with 2.2 of them per game. Alperen Sengun is the only Rocket to pull in more of them thus far this year. But Eason only plays 19.4 minutes per game....

    First thing's first: we specified offensive rebounding for a reason. Eason was invisible on the defensive glass, pulling in only a single defensive rebound. But in his 19 minutes against the Thunder, he pulled in a staggering 12 offensive rebounds.

    Amazingly, that isn't quite an NBA record. It has happened three other times in NBA history. Popeye Jones did in 1994, Zydrunas Ilgauskas did it in 2005, and Tristan Thompson did it in 2014. Essentially, that makes this a roughly once per decade feat. Eason was so good on the offensive glass that he managed to pull in four offensive rebounds on a single possession...

    ...They will forever memorialize one of the great, random statistical performances in NBA history because chances are it'll be a decade or so before we see another game like this one.

    I think there was quite some of us who were arguing for trading into top 10 or down if we got out of top 3 to get Eason. I definitely expected him to be gone by 17. He was easily among steals of the draft like Sengun last year. This is why!! Loved how we came out and even Nix looked decent.

    How different two coaches' press time.

    OKC's is crystal clear, direct questions and direct answers. Rockets' is misty, very slow answers as if taken in custody.
    What is the reason for this difference?

    Tari Eason is undoubtedly the player of the game followed by EG and the improving KJM.
    Tate remains the glue guy. Nix played good defense. We are still lacking in the PG department. The win is very welcome.

    So gross. Glad we only have to see such nonsense a few times per season.

    We won and some guys are still looking for anything negative to spout off about. Hmmmm is it curious that some of them have an obsessive/compulsive relationship with one particular player??

    YOU BETCHA! :D:D:D

    Plenty of that going around. Some fans have too much fun pointing fingers and playing the blame game. I like wins when we're as bad as we are no matter who gets the shine.

    No legitimate pg, one sf n one sg handling the ball leads to too much meaningless dribbling, wasting many open shots n cutin opportunities.
