    @DrNuegebauer did you just see Alpi post up Hayes only for Holiday to not pass the ball and then dribble away. Amen did the same thing earlier. This crap has been going on all season and one of the reasons why Alpi’s been so inefficient.

    The same place Alpi's elite offense, Ime's defensive speciality and Reed's shooting is: In the dreams of Rockets fans who deluded ourselves into believing we actually had talent...

    Lakers couldn’t have played any worse in that 3rd quarter

    this 4th quarter is the season

    Its been a LONG time since 5pts felt like being down 20.

    If we're going to shoot <40% overall, we simply cannot win.

    The inability of NBA players to throw an entry pass to low post is astonishing….

    All things considered, only being down 5 is a gift

    He brings a lot of positives. The lack of shooting sucks but it’s hard to say he’s not a valuable player.
