    I only remember 1. He wasn't roaming and helping too much tonight. He stayed on Tatum.

    Here's a question: The Celtics had two bigs in the game down the stretch, so why was Holiday the primary defender on Sengun? That didn't make sense to me? Kornett ended having to chase smaller faster players.

    I think it's that weird philosophy of the big as a help defender. The other guys end up dribbling into trouble. Someone posted a nice article about this league-wide trend.

    Asked about matching up against Porzingis: "I like playing against bigs that are slow."

    And Dillon is still pissed at the Grizzlies.

    I own a Harden jersey and eight, EIGHT pairs of his shoes that I still wear with pride regularly. I stand on what I said about the inner makings of Harden vs Sengun. Gotta play defense to be great great great. Harden was just great. Sengun has the inner makings to be next level.

    Everybody was too excited after Amen's bucket to notice this, but on the last Boston inbounds, Kornet ran to get open for a full-court pass, and only one Rocket saw it and went with him to cut it off: Jalen Green.

    That wouldn't have happened last year. Jalen is a much more attentive defender than he used to be.

    What was the miscue because from everything I saw he got turned around big time on the euro. Own up to it...you got burned.

    Underrated factor in this win. Rockets have a better record than the Celtics. If we can maintain this lead and somehow reach the Finals, we'll have home court vs them. And no I don't think the Cavs can beat them in a series
