    I mean our downfall in the playoffs is that most of our squad is like 23 and under and never experienced a playoff game.

    People understand we were supposed to battle for a play in spot this year right? That was what "being on schedule" looked like. Anything plus is gravy and God damn we have Olympic pool sized tub of gravy at this point.

    Nah we should sit tight at the deadline. Dont fix what aint broke.

    We are missing Tari Eason,Jabari Smith, Steven Adams thats 3 guys in the rotation and its a 2nd night of a B2B against Atlanta Hawks who have Trae Young and a bunch of wing and paint defenders.

    Yeah he excels at on-ball defense against everyone and people are complaining that Jalen was having issues down the stretch. It’s like people don’t watch games outside of this team.

    You are a plant from another NBA team. Our players aren't available.

    Honestly, I know it took a lot to get this win. ATL didn't play great, but they had these huge swings and man we just couldn't seem to put much good bball together, but ultimately pulled it out on the road and had just enough to get it done against a team that really wanted that W against us.

    Go Rockets!

    Jalen has blame in that he should have asked for screens to force a switch. Don't iso on Daniels

    Maybe thats just his natural competitiveness but still extremely dumb to keep trying it against Daniels when the game is on the line.

    Don’t get to catch the game until second half. They need to do better securing these double digit leads. Too many games where this happen. They are still young and put in all the effort. Back to back and on a rough stretch. The team is hot. I rather not mess with the chemistry and leave the team as is.

    Nah. We were already ahead of Boston after last night’s win against them (tied with w/l record but we have higher win%). Tonight’s win makes us half game ahead of them.

    thank god the bench players came to play today, they did just enough for the starters to not have to play as many minutes as they usually do.

    Sorry, I'm on my fourth beer and misread the standings. You are absolutely correct.

    TY was trying to bait Brooks, and he succeeded. Good thing the ref saw through it.

    Not even ridiculous scheduling can beat this team.
