    The Rockets actually holds the record of Most Missed 3s by a team in 2019 with 47.

    Damn...well that actually makes me feel bad for talking so much crap about him, if he busted his body up for his country I can't really say anything. It's admirable, honestly. But I wish he was playing better as a Rocket

    We hung with a great team for a half, I'll take that any day. We were on a back-to-back, first game back with Dillon and I saw serious better effort on defensive and sharp play. The only thing I disliked about our guys and what seemed to be strategy is doubling so much, which left their 3pt shooters wide open. This is a very good 3pt shooting team and we allowed them to just get hot there. I know sometimes you have to accept that over them putting pressure on your defense inside where you're more likely to foul, but still, I'd love to see more guys handling their own and if anyone helps it's off of a bad 3pt shooter.

    It is for the country but I guess it was during one of the practice sessions, those freak accidents when people were not going the hardest.

    Or an Exhibition Game.

    That is what contenders usually do, GSW has made a living out of just dominating in the 3rd Quarter and maybe the 4th......

    Cam Whitmore made a big comeback on the road against a championship caliber team. He needs to pass better , but his shooting is very promising along with his energy and willingness to play defense.

    The bottom line is that he elevated his game against the Celtics on the road. He's only 19.

    Really? You must have missed Houston’s last 3 seasons. That we’re as good as we are is amazing.
    No one is making you stick around.

    So, as you given names such as LaMarcus or DeRozan, could you please propose your alternative players to be chosen POTW for that specific week. We mortals will be acknowledged.
