    He actually can, not well against guards but the numbers say he can. It’s a fallacy that he can’t defend on perimeter

    Orlando really enjoyed this game for a few reasons… the Rockets get another win to hurt the Rockets lottery odds and help Orlando’s and Chicago lost so Orlando gets an even better lottery pick with the Chicago pick.

    We're still in position as third worst with tied #1 pick odds, the tank is healthy.

    Also, San Antonio may win tonight. No worries, enjoy the win fellas :D

    Rockets were competitive in 3 of the last 5 L’s, and then gave Chicago a severe case of the beats

    Rockets aren’t quite as bad as their record…they compete more often than not

    Lol watch the basketball gods curse the ping pong balls for all the negative from their own fans. Sengun and Wemby could work. Sengun/Wemby/Jabari.

    Allen’s strength is defense. Goon is an offensive big man. Goon needs the ball to be effective. I’m not saying it’s impossible but their games don’t really mesh imo. If they get the first pick you can’t pass on wemby so I think we’d definitely get a chance to see what it looks like.

    After seeing teams hit 3 after 3 over him all season.. even the coaching staff and commentators say it - it’s okay if it’s something he needs to improve on …

    Our tank game is a little weak.
    We should take a lesson from Det.
    I checked their game and they were up 13 with 3 minutes left and I thought it was in the bag.
    They STILL LOST in ot!

    I have faith in Silas and his (lack of) system but there is a high bar set we'll have to rise to meet!

    I think their games mesh perfectly, Wemby is a perimeter oriented player, having Alp screen for him or being the initiator would help him. And Alp can take the bruising Wemby can’t

    I’m not saying he doesn’t need to improve, but close outs from the paint is not the same as perimeter defense. Don’t be intentionally disingenuous

    Man, my PC is out, can't watch the game and the Rockets suddenly choose to play well. :(
