Wood and Gordon for Ingram.

get er done

 

Yep, signed him to 2 way after he was released by BOS.

Helped Vipers to their win streak too.

 

Tate will defend KD.

EGo will defend Harden.

Wood will defend whoever plays the 5.

 

I don't know whether to be happy about this or not, is this team tanking or actually want to try and get in the playoffs?

 

Tanking is something GMs do.

Coaches and players should be trying to win every game.

 

W

Went back to work at the start of the fourth. Just like the good old days when you know the W is sealed. Everyone played great, that wood-alpy combo getting more time. By season's end, i see this duo killing frontlines.

I like how sengun is eased slowly to more minutes. In the near future. I trust his game so much. alpy is gonna be a problem!

 

How did you like Theis going 2/4 from 3 (50%) ?

The job of Theis is not to outperform Wood....it's to do the dirty work
so that Wood doesn't have to and Wood look pretty.

Your way would have had us lose the rebounding battle by 25
instead of 10......how the F#ck is that winning basketball?

The job of Dwight Powell, Marjanovic, and WCS was not to out shine
Porzingis and Doncic......but help them by doing the dirty work!

 

Rockets legend Garrison Matthews

 

Tate will get Durant off of his spots.

 

No way Durant can get Tate off his spots, his ass is way too high

Rockets in 4

 

Wood gave Aldridge issue last year. Aldridge didn’t want to come out and face him on the perimter. Hopefully we can avoid sengun guarding Kd or heis going to school the rook…


But with the way our offense is flowing and moving the ball we might be able to run circles around Harden who we know doesn’t want to run around on defense.

 

This was a game in which I had no doubt of the Rockets’ victory from the start. The good guys just wanted it more!

Now a real challenge approaches us, but I don’t foresee this team backing down.

Time to meet up with our old pal in Brooklyn

 

Well I learned everything from you

I sometimes forget @D-rock has a TV that only shows the offensive end.

For guy a promoting Ben Simmons.....a player that doesn't shoot 3's or hit
FT's; I'm stunned as to how silly D looks, right now.

Wood is under 60% from the FT line. We are winning despite that crappiness

 

At this point, Im not sure if prime Bill Russel can get Tate off of his spots

They switch a lot. Man...I wish Green were healthy. He would be licking his chops 1v1 vs Aldridge.

EGO has downright been a leader these last few games. Coach EGO.
