    You think the NBA actually wants defense?

    Up by 6 instead of 10, thanks Amen and Okogie. We could’ve been up by 15 if Tari had played like the star he thinks he is too.

    If we can play this poorly and beat the champs we’re still in a very good position though.

    Watching, I keep wondering when Sengun will take over and impact the game. Then I check the box score. In a quiet half he as 10/5/5 with 2 steals.

    Okogie is shooting 100% so far. People arent angry because of his shooting

    So far looking like Reed gotta learn fast because seems like Rockets relied him heavily on handling the ball when he was on the floor. Probably best matchup rockets needed it since it shows our weakness and perfect defensive juggernaut to counter Sengun

    These are those stupid NBA isms that people have just been doing for so long that we've forgotten the point. Like when they goaltend shots that players take during a dead ball. Just stupid things that make no sense but they do out of habit.

    Dillon was the master at the end of shot clock, end of quarter, brain dead closeout fouls, and now this guy.

    Has always been one of my biggest gripes with today's game.

    There's only certain situations where doing that makes sense.

    The big ball is a success. I dont care if it is ugly, if we need ball handlers, we need shooters whatever bruh.


    Up by 6 at halftime its all that matters

    At least the foul only counted for 1 more point. Would've felt worse if he missed the shot and had 3 free throws.
