    "I dunno, they have to go in" is some of the greatest basketball insight I have ever heard. Thanks Ben Sullivan!

    Whoever starts making their threes will win the game lol. We are doing great job holding on otherwise.

    Those Landale minutes on Jokic were totally wrong. Jokic made 9 pts in 2 min.

    Rockets are playing competitive tbh. Jokic is too extra.

    Amazing competitive 1st half against the champs and hot Denver. I don’t think these Nuggets know how we don’t stop in the 2nd half.

    Vanessa: “Keys to getting 3pt shots to fall?”

    Ben Sullivan: “I don’t know, they have to go in.”

    LOL

    Nuggets are one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. Jokic existing makes everyone overlook that. There's a reason Jalen has 5 points on terrible efficiency. Ime needs to figure this one out.

    Team is fighting hard. Some will say "Well Denver just isn't shooting well, that's all it is", we're shooting worse, and still only down 4, so that's definitely something that wouldn't have happened with past years.

    Again we have Calvin Murphy on league pass.

    Isn't there any option to watch the halftime show?

    If we can't play Landale to rest Sengun then he is useless.

    The thing is, if he goes from guarding Zion to BI that's not hiding him. If they put Brooks on someone that's not an indictment on Bari, Brooks is one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA, why wouldn't you put him on whoever is going off?

    Zion or BI going off on Bari is not bad defense, it would be if it were a bunch of open shots, but pull up their highlights, it was not. Better offense always beats beat better defense.

    Like Jokic is destroying whoever we put on him, it's not 'bad' defense. He simply can't be stopped.

    Denver's whole offense is predicated on cuts and back cuts too, that a 20 year old rookie might not have defended it perfectly and calling his defense trash when this same Denver team won a championship doing this to every team in the NBA is a bit harsh...

    Now this is the quality half time show we've come to expect from our Houston Rockets.
