    These are the games where our #3 picks should show us why they were #3 picks. And they have absolutely not done that.

    It's like the two teams switched effort levels after the 1st quarter

    I think Amen was the 2nd best tbf.
    He suffers the most from Sengun being out and from our disjointed offense. We can't hit anything so the court shrinks which is terrible for Amen

    Reed is usually not this bad on defense, he's been pretty solid actually I'd say.

    Tonight he's just slow and has been a traffic cone, just not been his night defensively and offensively too.

    No Alpi, no Adams, no team mojo and no legit chance to win against a rival that always plays inspired against the Rockets.

    They both picked a good time for this.

    Only KD and Amen showed up.
