Cody Martin also out. Jaylen Bridges also out (the equivalent of Jeenathan Williams being out for us)
With all the outs, hard to see them stopping Jalen, Cam and Amen attacking the rim. Blow this out early and chill.
Jesus Christ…:they are playing without major players, save them for tomorrow!! Damnit our coaches are idiots.
I'm kinda torn on this. I lean towards saving Tari and Steven for tomorrow, but we don't know if the Warriors may sit anyone since they'll also be on a B2B. Plus I think with the Rockets' recent struggles, you can't take any game for granted. Play them tonight and secure this win.
I don't understand why they sit Eason and Adams out for the same game. Why not sit out Adams tonight and Eason tomorrow or vice versa. At least it would give tomorrows game 1 more body to put on the floor.
Probably because they don't know yet if Alpi is even playing tonight. It's entirely possible if he can go against the Suns, they just leave Steven on the bench and never use him in this game(especially if the Rockets get out to a good start). Then he can play tomorrow.
