    Missed the first quarter, but OKC did take advantage at the start of the third quarter and got open 3 after open 3.

    I like the Fred-Jalen-Amen-Jabari-Alpi lineup.

    FVV off the ball = success. Anyone thinking Amen is not our PG of the future is delusional. Great game by everyone. Ime had a great game.

    I miss a game and the Rockets go wild with the TWIN TOWERS line up. Good grief. Smith got 17 rebounds? Shogun goes crazy. Adams gets 12 boards. Amen, Green, everybody plays great and beats the "best" team in the NBA by a good margin. Wow, just wow!

    OKC should get 2 more 'rim protectors'
    =/
    Their guards can't stay laterally with our bigs too slow.

    Again, Amen has the quick twitch to time his jump after ensuring that it's not a shot fake. Terror twin.

    Everyone made big plays and brought it. This team needs to stay TOGETHER. Bring the whole team back next year plus a top pick and keep gelling. This team has the right vets and fastly maturing youth that I want to see back next year. The only exception may be swap Williams out for whoever we take with the PHX pick but even if he were back, I'd be cool with that.

    Bruh our CORE guys have never played a playoff series... we'll see how they respond in the offs.
    Teams virtually never go on runs with their top guys lacking playoff experience.

    Tough to beat the Rockets when Green goes off. Thought he had a rough patch in the middle of the game, but went crazy at the end.

    Alpi deters Sga from driving to the basket.

    Amen blocks the shot.

    Jalen hustles to bareeely tip the rebound to Jabari.

    Beautiful.

    Was this game nationally televised? We got the Rockets broadcast over here with Craig and Ryan (who were fantastic)

    It was a great game. My 12 year old and I were screaming on that Sengod spin and dunk on Chet. Rockets played with a ton of focus and passion tonight. Wish I could have been there.

    51 wins. 2nd place in the West practically secured. All this with our team of young players.
    But, but, but Udoka is an idiot! Jalen is worse than Brewer! Jabari is a bust! Alperen is small and can't defend! Amen can't shoot!

    They built a 23 pt lead on the double big. Double big forced Chet to guard Alpi and he got demolished.
