I'm interested to see it but I bet it will not go well. One of our bigs will be taken out of the paint by Chet and so there will be no point of us running it. On the other end, they can keep both their bigs inside. Neither of their bigs is hackable, one of ours is. It's a mismatch in their favor. Honestly it will not go well against most Western playoff teams. We saw it during the easiest part of the schedule and it just drags games into a rebounding battle. Doncic said in his interview that they took this as a playoff game. Despite them going smaller than us, the rebounding was just 51-45 in our favor and both teams got 10 offensive rebounds. That's what the playoffs are going to be like, we're not going to be catching anyone off guard being aggressive. If it works against good teams, great I'm happy. Just don't have a good feeling about it at all.
Its s a great test before the playoffs Perfect preparation for this young team. Would love to see us win a few of these games against the better teams.
It’s the as playing Worriers. NBA love ´em stars. That’s why at all cost we have avoid the 2 of them during the PO
It wasn't that bad both FVV and JG had horrible games and Rockets only lost by 6. If this is the taste of the playoffs I think Rox have a good chance of winning their first round series.
It’s very possible Rockets only win 1 of their final 6 games with tonight being the most obtainable. Hoping for at least 3 more but gotta have a win tonight to get to 50!
OK, so despite our last 5 games are pretty tough, now when we finally secured our playoff spot, the team shall play more relaxed and loose, and maybe this can help us win some if these matches, especially vs. Warriors that always have our number.
I can't wait to see how we handle the end of this season. Just watching the standings instead of tankathon (I still check it for the Suns I guess) every morning is a beautiful thing.
I’m glad they have a tough schedule to finish out the season . They haven’t beatened a good team out the west since Janurary. If I know it, they know it. They need to beat two of these teams for their own confidence
If TheGoodGuys were to bomb these final 6 games then what could be expected in the p/o? 5 of the 6 fan bases should be feeling as low as so many of Rox fans here.
I think the worst case is that we only win two more games. And I, for one, am not mad at a 52 win season. They have far exceeded my expectations in this brutal Western Conference.
We need FVV and Jalen to step up to get any of these games. If FVV gets hot from 3, we have a chance. If he keeps sucking and Ime refuses to do the right thing, we are screwed. Play him off ball and see if he makes his shot. If not, get him the hell out of there. FVV and Jalen are going to get targeted relentlessly this game. Pray the NBA rescinds the tech on Dillon, like they should.
The way DB smiled at the end of the game tells me he wanted that tech to take a night off and get ready for the home stretch. Agreed that FVV needs a shorter leash, but he absolutely will continue to get the longest leash of all perimeter players regardless.
