    I wonder if he finishes climbing the points ladder, if we'll see a little more team play from Durant.

    Sprained ankle, even a high ankle sprain is the best case scenario for Adams.
    Maybe it will force the coaching staff to make adjusments that will help the team in the long run.

    Shout out to the Pelicans for throwing Durant a bone with the half court foul so he could get his points.

    That Steve O injury sure looked way worse than a sprained ankle, I thought it was a serious knee injury. I’m sure the beast that Adam’s is will be back soon

    Sure, it's not the same as the NFL playoffs, but I needed this Rockets win today after that Texans debacle.

    We still don't know for sure until they do an MRI on Adams. It really, really looked like was clutching his knee on the ground. Nothing might be broken but something might be torn. They can't do a scan until the swelling goes down.

    Can't remember who was asking when Jabari was ever the guy that won us the game. Well... here you go

    Didn’t watch the 2nd half, but a career high in points and made threes from Jabari?!?

    Happy we won and happy Bari shot well.

    but I just found out the Spurs game on Tuesday is on Peacock and I want to scream at Silver for this shitty money grab that is gonna deprive me of watching my team in one of the most important games of the regular season. F u Sliver and the greedy nba ownership.

    No. Adams is a fine backup center. The double bigs sucked and surely Ime will abandon it now. DD is somewhat right. Adams is a one-trick pony and not a good defensive player. He should have just been playing as a backup when Sengun is on the bench. Adams being hurt saves Ime from himself. The ball was really moving around tonight when the double bigs was not employed. Durant also took a lot of the night off in terms of iso. We really need Finney-Smith to step up and Tari to get back. Ime should get back to more conventional sets and rotations, instead of all the experimentation he’s been doing with double bigs and double midgets. This team is so painful to watch when they go full on iso with Durant or Sengun.
