2 rookies and wanamaker oof

[Somebody]

In what world is there no foul for Tatum there, you blind zebras?! Pathetic and incompetent.

In a world where the NBA wants the Rockets to get a 40-20 record for narratives to be pushed and stories to be written.

I don't know why Brad is playing Romeo.  He got torched twice in the first half despite some other good defensive plays.  Made a big mistake there by shading Harden to his left - the direction Harden wants to go.

This is harsh. I thought Romeo looked like a grizzled vet playing great defensively while he has been out there

He got blown by twice in the first half - each time the Rockets got an and-1.

If we pulled every player that had been blown by on defense, we wouldn't have anyone left to play.

[Atzar]

Poor quarter.  Offense was completely out of sorts.  Their shooters caught fire, mostly because of our mistakes. 

Need to pick it back up.  Smart or Jaylen need to be on Westbrook for the rest of the night... nobody else can stay in front of him with any sort of consistency. 

[nickagneta]

Tatum every right to be angry. Clearly fouled but no call.

Do you expect Brown and Smart to play 48 minutes?

The bench is this team’s downfall... I’m still shocked DA didn’t try harder to upgrade it...

No, but I don't expect a rookie to be able to perform adequately against a team like the Rockets.  I think Semi would be a better choice.

Tatum is to use to getting everything he wants the last few weeks, how he deals with this stutter step is important.

I only saw one and that was by Westbrook on a switch. Against Harden he has played him well, lead him to the help a couple of times.

Tatum needs the plastic covering for his new tattoo back on. I think he played  better with that plastic covering the  new tattoo on the back of his shoulders.

I hate tattoos. 

[trickybilly]

Horror quarter. Need to move the ball more. FLCelts game thread blurb NEEDS TO BE READ BRAD.

Semi also got blown by a few times in the 2nd quarter lol. No Kemba, therefore Wanamaker and Langford play some more minutes than usual.

[hpantazo]

It's absolutely incredible they can't go inside on this team

I would have liked to see what Kanter could do against this team

Kanter would get killed on defense against this Rockets lineup

[Phantom255x]

Hate that this might legit come down to the refs again in the final minutes

[radiohead]

This early part of the fourth is gonna be crucial.
