    This doesn't really say much because the Bulls missed 71 shots! (to the Rockets 55).

    It took a while but the team is running fast break under fvv and lo and behold we blow dem out.

    Fast breaks and utilization of senhub makes it easier for us to score even if we aren't the greatest 3 pts shooting team. Hopefully fvv doesn't slow down the offense

    It says 1) the Rockets defense was likely good and 2) Rockets completed the possession by getting the rebound.

    Those things matter. I still remember Utah grabbing o-rebs in the '07 playoffs when that possession really mattered.

    19+ rebounding disparity prob happens in <20% of games (tonight was 2 out of 10 games).

    That's what I noticed too. He's moving faster and passing the ball more.

    They were rightful complaints, which have subsequently been addressed.

    There was zero cutting earlier in the season. The past couple of games there has been a very noticeable uptick. No surprise Sengun's assists have hit double digits these past two games.

    Had to chuckle at the Bulls announcer before tipoff saying Jalen is having a phenomenal season. Yikes.

    Dillon Brooks has been fantastic to open the season - I remember making a comment about an amazing start to his Rockets tenure last season - before his defense got worse the longer the season went on, so here's hoping he can continue playing like this because it's great.

    Oh look. Reed shoots some 3s, Reed makes some 3s. Crazy outcome.

    You're supposed to beat up on bad teams.

    Bucks will pack the paint and Dame can shoot lights out. They aren't at their best, but the Rockets have their work cut out for them.
    A win over the Bucks can be a real morale booster.
    Go Rockets!

    Also saw him leave the bench early in the game after a long chat with Jeff Green. Lots of speculation there but it’s to b the only person not to play last night is sending a big message.
