Rockets are down only 1 despite getting slaughtered by the two stats they usually dominate: TO differential and o-rebound differentials are each -6! As a result, they have 14 less FGAs which bizarre for them. On the other hand, Rockets are overperforming their weakest stat by shooting over 54% from the field (when they actually get a shot off). I am not familiar with these imposters wearing Rockets jerseys tonight.
First Atlanta embarrasses us with t/o and now they mock us by throwing out their Nazi kids dribbling basketballs...
We should swing for Fox. Our pick and roll with Sengun would be lethal with Fox in the lineup and he has a consistent midrange game that Jalen hasn't developed yet. Fox is also one of the best closers in the game and was clutch player of the year a bunch of times. Might sacrifice a bit on defense but our offense in the halfcourt is horrendous.
I feel like ATL players will go for pump fakes also. They are very jumpy and are trying to block and steal everything. Need to bait a lot of fouls this half.
Just did some more research. Defensive win shares Jalen Green and De'aaron fox are 58/60 respectively so we aren't going to get worse on defense. We need someone who can command the offense and FVV/Green can't do it. FVV can't get open shots for other players. Only Sengun creates on offense for others out of the post.
rockets are not gonna give up for what sacramento is asking ride out the season then explore trades during the offseason.
Rockets disappointing big time this game. Felt good about this game initially. Classic trap game. Let's get their heads out of their asses in the 2nd half.
Can’t wait until JG is out of the picture and we can be done with these super high and super low moments of inconsistency.
Green + Cam + picks Cam + Tari + picks Green/Cam + Reed + picks We just have to bid more than the Spurs. FVV only knows how to pass in the pick and roll, he can't generate anything else. Tonight without Jabari/Adams/Tari we also can't grab rebounds which is half our offense.
We need to get Alpi more involved on offense, and by more involved I mean he should take ball out and just score every time until Rockets have a 20 pt lead...
