Portland lost A heartbreaker in OT at the buzzer vs NYK Would have been sweet for that phx pick if portlamd pulled that out
Can you explain what that means? The whole being sweet for that suns pick if blazers were able to win?
Thoughts: 1. FVV was solid and Green looked very in rhythm, when he’s like that, he’s very Booker like. Work on those handles, passing and going for easy shots and he’ll be fine. Do NOT want Booker on this team. He is soft AF. 2. Adams should not have been ejected, Plumlee starts with the elbow, Adams does not respond. They lock arms, Plumlee again puts his elbow in Adams neck, no response. Thrown to the ground, Adams does not respond. How is that a fight?!!!! Like Ime said, if Adams wanted to, it would've looked way different and honestly could’ve been ugly. Adams is smart enough not to do anything, no way he gets suspended. Plumlee should be for instigating twice. 3. Brooks getting more determined on his drives lately and I love it. I trust him now on offense. 4. Tari starting for now I am fine with, Jabari is not showing enough. Scorekeepers messed up, Tari had at least 2 steals. Jabari needs to get stronger in the off-season, him unable to back down smaller guards is just ridiculous. Also he seems to get blocked a lot, so work on that leg strength too. 5. Holiday does not deserve the hate he gets on here, but man when he decides he’s the PG or forced to, he’s a BALLHOG. He works best as an off-ball player who can get the 3pt shot off and the occasional floater. 6. Cam is outta here, way to waste that talent. Also that 3rd unit losing that lead was pathetic to watch. Largely on Aaron. 7. Sengun is playing like a boss, that pass to Tari was pretty and he definitely has thrown some similar passes, but I like the excitement from the commentary crew. At least we didn’t get the aeromaxxin and heeyyyy tonight. 8. Jock can play, just needs to stay ready, we will need him. 9. FT shooting seems to be getting better, especially from Senguini. 10. Do not want to throw away our future for Durant, outside of Reed and a protected pick, just look elsewhere. Our internal growth will be way more valuable, no need to rush to try and contend. I am sure Durant would want another team over us too, even the Mavs potentially. Yes yes yes!!! This is EXACTLY what it sounds like. Put on a rap skit from the 90s where they talk on the phone or leave a message even and it sounds just like that.
Quietly been a monster around the rim--a lot of those are pretty tough attempts. This is what I've been waiting to see from him all season. His passing has also been on point.
This is unrelated to last nights game and I know I don't post a lot, but I read a lot on here and something just hit me. I've been a Rockets fan since 1991 when I moved to Houston. There have been players that I didn't exactly like, but I've never rooted against individual Rockets. This team right now, there isn't a single guy I dislike, but the fact that I come on this board and see so many pro Sengun players bashing Jalen (or vice versa), it almost subconsciously makes me want to root for Sengun to fail. That is absolutely ridiculous. Of course, I do not want Sengun to play bad. I don't want any of the guys to play bad. I want them to succeed individually and as a team. Anyway ... whatever.
Yo is that Ime saying "Devin Booker.. what"? Does that imply he hears the rumors of Booker for Green and is like "nah". Because that would be hilarious and awesome.
On 1, the Rockets are so good when Green has a good game. On 3, I like Brooks as secondary and only taking what the team gives him. On 4, I think Tari when healthy is one of the best 5 Rockets. I think his off ball chaos defense fits well with Amen's POA defense. On 5, definitely agree. Holiday is fine when he's out there with FVV. With Amen, it was getting better, but still rough. With other guards only, it is really rough.
