    (Embrace with Kevin) “It was great. There’s times you want to hug a guy like that. It was a really good moment, one of the best of the year.”

    That’s a bad shot but he make it.
    Green is wide open out there.

    Great shot, he was having a rough shooting game, but this probably goes a long way towards healing - and you could see his teamates genuinely care for KPJ.

    As for Wood, if he would only play like this every night.....sigh.

    Nice to get a win....good effort.

    Green played great, Tate played great, Wood played great.....and our D was pretty decent.....in fact as bad as KPJ was on offense he was very good on D.

    Let's go Rockets !

    Nice shot to win the game but seriously what the **** was Porter Jr (and really the whole team) doing in the last 7 minutes?

    Green literally got 2 touches on offense in that stretch (one miss, one made 3) after frying the Wizards off the dribble all night. He was buried in the corner while everyone else tried to win it by themselves.

    He wasn't "wide open", he was 2-7 from 3 AND guarded by a better defender.

    KPJ made the correct read and nailed the shot.

    Yeah. He waved him off, it was kinda clear that play was drawn up for Green. If that shot missed the attitude in the locker room would be ALOT different... great win though

    KPJ had a C- game, but hopefully this game winner will help with his confidence and emotional health. We need a slo mo of the Silas hug…

    It irked me because Green was cooking and KPJ was hogging the ball down the stretch while shooting awful and turning it over.

    Also, didn't read the game thread, but didn't they fail to credit kpj with 1 free throw when the Rockets had 78 points?


    Did they correct it? He hit 1-2 and the scoreline didn't change - i rewound and watched it a few times.

    Part of this is on Green, he should come out and take the ball more, I think because he is 19, he still defers a bit too much - he will get there.....he was great tonight.

    Pros:
    -Finally a win
    -Keeping the second opponent not scoring 70+ first half points (Phila :62, Wash:55)
    -Good rebounding (48)

    Cons:
    It may not be good to mention cons after the win but assists number was unacceptable:eek: only 15
