    Possibly the best game they've played all season.

    Once amen becomes a threat by scoring we can play him at the one. We need to open the Floor open more and play bari at the 5 and push the pace.

    i cant stand this offense. i used to rewatch games, but the basketball is so nasty i don't even want to watch highlights. i get relief when the game is over.

    i wish there was a real offense not contingent on HOF level talent

    Everyone thinks we got busts on the team because the offense is so horrific

    If he is really hurting the team he can learn by watching or watching films. But right now we are kind of fine since alot teams in the west are losing. After the all star break the lease should be tighter since the rotation in the playoff is shorter.

    Much-needed win

    our guard rotation is still bad

    We have to scour the buyout market! Maybe kick the tires on Cam Thomas. Our backcourt needs a boost

    Warriors and suns are not weak opponents.

    Only Pacers

    OKC is not especially good at shooting threes, either.

    Amen needs to come off the bench and be a 6th man.

    I saw what he did for Kawhi. Maybe he could do that for Amen (assuming Amen cares enough to try).

    Payton
    Payton Pritchard was riding bench till he was 27, he was gifted scorer but small frame made him vulnerable so he didn’t get to start until this season due to injury. Celtics were struggling as a whole as he was adjusting to starting role and now he is legit starter for contenders. If Tatum never got hurt he would still be 6th man.

    One thing I didnt expect this season is how bad the bench has been maybe its because FVV got injured so Tari Eason became a starter but Rockets have had one of the worst benches in the NBA so far I think they have the 2nd fewest pts off the bench in the entire league.

    Saying that JD def came thru tonight its pretty telling he was +16 and the only positive among the bench. Honestly JD has produced whenever given mins Udoka should look to play him more. I think he should be over Okogie and DFS starting today.

    Also, I would like to go on record and I don't know if it's from being a pro basketball player (and hooping all the time) or if some people are just too darn cool for school (get off my lawn!), but the lazy passes have to STOP!

    It's not just Reed, it's everybody with lackadaisical passes that get swiped. It drives me crazy. Granted I was the kid swiping those in HS, but pros should do better.

    It's too late to fix the offense.

    It is what it is.
