    We're down 10 and have missed 5 FTs.

    Man, it'd be so nice to make our freebies.

    Despicable seeing an 8-foot guy like Wembanyama try to flop his way to three free throws.

    Katie wanted to go to the Spurs (where he could chill; Spurs/Heat/Rockets)

    Instead playing the most minutes, primary offensive option

    70 point half. Clearly Reed is not ready.

    All things considered down by 10 isn’t too bad.

    The Rockets are just a flat out mediocre team. Not close to the best, not close to the worst. Just mid-range mediocre

    We're down 10 and we're being outscored 33-15 from the 3-point line.
    Turnovers: 3 for SA , 7 for Houston

    It's sort of miraculous to still be hanging around.

    I honestly like what’s going on, it shows that Ime’s way of coaching ain’t gonna get us that chip even with trades. We just playing 90s basketball

    I think they need a guard that can help set things up but I'm not sure it will fix things.

    We have shooters but Ime's rotations and no emphasis on feeding the hot hand sure doesn't help things.

    We've seen guys in the NBA stay hot for a week, just like guys stay cold for a week, it's criminal that Jabari has taken and made 1 three pointer. It's not Jabari's fault, we know Jabari will chuck it if he's open...but we are making no attempts to get him open.

    Meanwhile look at what the Spurs are doing, they see the hot guy, they are getting him shots. Chapenny is beating us tonight.

    If Chapenny (I know I'm spelling his name wrong) has his average we are actually ahead in the game right now.
