    IMAGINE HAVING A SHOOTER LIKE REED SHEPARD AND TWO PLAYERS DEMAND DOUBLE TEAMS BUT STILL CANT FIND A 50% THREE POINT SHOOTER AN OPEN SHOT. Bad Coaching. They don't even look for him.

    No Im basing this on how the Rockets have played this season. They get away with bad TO’s and poor decision making against other teams but can’t against these top teams as we saw against Detriot and OKC.

    When the Rockets can’t get those offensive rebounds, their clunky offense gets exposed.

    Why did they give Jokic a wide open half court heave? He can hit those. No one even close to him.

    We're without Tari and DFS though, tbf

    Still a pathetic 1st quarter. Ime's pissed but he partly has himself to blame for sticking stubbornly with double bigs when it clearly wasn't working.

    25%. The upside is the Rockets can't play any worse. 13 points can be made up over 36 minutes.

    Long 2s is what Sengun and KD do, it's not going to stop because they rim some shots off, nor should it. The whole anti-two point thing is dead, thank God, because that moreyball was nonsense. The best player in the league is a killer on long 2s. Literally SGAs entire game is mid range contested shots.

    The team can shoot, the numbers show this. Amen and Adams can't, but the rest of the team has been shooting fine, you're saying all this on what has been a bad shooting night so far when they've been shooting well all season long.

    Sorry, the team has played what 13 games? They've been good 95% of the time, I'm not going to flip out on the 5% of the time they are not good.

    that's pretty much 90% of the team in the NBA.

    Him being a complete moron when it comes to lineups and rotations is what made him do it.
