    Christian Wood dusted Shaq’s butt

    Surprised Shaq didn't immediately clap back with "I GOT RINGZZZ THO" as a reflex.

    Well, Shaq is a casual, it's true. Barkley and Shaq don't really watch basketball games.

    It was weird seeing Charles being complimentary of the Rockets after the game.

    Wood really is a great story. Dude can ball and still has potential if he continues to focus and gain strength. Veterans love to see guys that have bounced around and finally mature to become good players. Even casuals love to see it. :)

    He’s the first player in Rockets history to put up a 25p/15r/3b game with 5+ threes. Call me when Wood gets a Quadruple Double. jk

    Woods' attitude is progressing along with his game. The dude has shown fire on the court. Sure, he's missing some rotations, but that will come in time.

    Giving sly shade to Shaq, though? That's the kind of thing that gets attention. Now people will actually WATCH to see if he's any good.

    Man I think it’s 50/50 that team ends up a disaster. Kyrie is insane.

    It certainly could end up a disaster........

    But consider that when Harden penetrates the lane he will have Irving at the top of the key who is a 43% three point shooter..... in the left corner he will have Joe Harris open, who is 50% three point shooter.... in the right corner he will have Jeff Green who is a 40% three point shooter........ and at the left side of the arc he will have Kevin Durant open who is a 46% three point shooter........

    Consider the spacing on the floor.......... Harden will either have one on one to the basket every possession or he will have multiple open options that all shoot over 40% from the three point line....... he will have an extrordinary ball handler next to him, and he can always just let Durant post up or isolate as well.

    They are going to run essentially the same offense Houston ran in the past but with VASTLY better personnel and talent.

    I think this is exactly right. On paper it should be a thing of beauty, but we all know how that works out sometimes.

    I know many Clutch Fans come from immigrant families so this is kind of like a testament to their struggles to being American. The way Shaq tries to be diplomatic by writing down a few words in Serbian but butchers the greeting and dialogue with Bogdan is unwelcoming and clearly a discreet annoyance for Bogdanović. I just can't believe TNT writing off on the session without noticing how insulting and racist it comes across. The correspondence is in America and Bogdan speaks English.
