    We have one in Ben Sullivan, A former protege of Chip England. Chip fixed Kawhi Leonard shooting form. Looks alot like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant Form on his shot.

    I wish Ben Sullivan can fix Jalen Green shooting form into Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Kawhi Leonard Form.

    Straight Right Arm aimed at the basket. Jalen Green right elbow pointed east instead of in front of his face.

    High pressure games are good for a young team. Good learning experience for when we make the playoffs this year.

    Ain't too worked up about it. It's better to have the extended rest than to play a bogus tournie championship that won't appear on any box score a year from now. I hope the game goes to triple overtime.

    NBA should cap the Free throws. No man is worth shooting 15 attempts. After the 8th attempt, someone other than SGA has to shoot them. F'n foul merchants.

    And If Ime wants to get the best from FVV. He needs to trust someone else. Because running him to the ground is killing his shooting and us. And if he can't trust our rookie yet then Stone needs to acquire someone Ime can trust. Dennis the menace would have been perfect.
    That's all I got to say about that, Jennay.

    Was too young to remember 90s ball but I am very familiar with 2000s ball for sure

    Not really we have FVV, DB, Unc Jeff and Steve Adams who inflate the Rox average age. These guys except maybe DB wont be here in 2 yrs. Our core guys are younger.

    It never changes though, no matter how bad they have been from the arc this year they continue taking the most 3's instead of passing to other guys more capable of knocking them down. I get sick of it.

    OKC is obviously a good team. They looked equal to the Rockets defensively and they’re just better offensively (if only by virtue of having an MVP candidate in FTA, er I mean SGA). The Rockets fought hard, but they ran into a better team tonight.

    Being a protege of someone doesnt automatically equal success.

    Stone ans Fertita should pay for one of the better shooting coaches if Sullivan isnt getting it done.

    Story of the rockets offensive problems - FVV misses tech shot and JG hits next tech shot … JG should be taking every tech shot (he’s our best FT shooter!)

    we have no hierarchy - I’m okay with Alpi JG Bari DB FVV in that order

    It's not 1st day that they can't shoot.
