    Just two "you know"s & one "I mean" from Sengun at the postgame. Wow, I'm really impressed.
    Seriously, he got fluent.

    Honestly...the fact the double big lineup works so well means its probably not the worst of ideas.

    You just have to hope he's motivated to stay in shape and that so far is a big if.

    The defensive effort in the 3rd is about the best we've played in a while, that's what won us this one. Coaching staff had an extremely good game plan for Zion.

    The offense wasn't any better or worse than usual, it just feels better when you are actually getting stops.

    Still feeling like not signing a player like Bones Hyland or trading Landale for Olynyk before trade deadline was mistake

    Zion’s talent level is ridiculous. He just can’t get out of his own way.

    2.5 quarters of taking care of business. Y'know what? I'll take it. Baby steps.

    The Rockets need to play with the energy they played with in the third quarter if they want to be successful.

    Pels came out with unsustainable intensity in the 1st half against a sloppy Rockets team but didn't end the half with any distance.

    The drop off in the 3rd quarter was dramatic and the Rocket took advantage. Not a great win but they avoided a terrible loss. Losing both the TO and offensive rebound differentials while winning is not something they can do consistently.

    I want to see a lot more sharpness and focus in the 1st quarter during the homestand, particularly on defense. Right now, this team has no identity.

    He gave really good defensive effort in the second half.

    But you know the Sengun KKKers will still be out in force. It's unfortunate that there are so many alleged fans who prefer their own agenda over the good of the team.
