We're getting a favorable whistle with a pretty decent foul disparity, but the Rockets are being super physical and earning most of these fouls.

I feel like we struggle scoring in transition without JB on the court.  Not sure if stats agree with that take but it's what I've seen from Pritchard, White, and even JT at times.

Man, Fox would be so good on this Rockets team. Their halfcourt offense is atrocious. Not sure it takes them over the top, but he definitely fills a need for them. And I think Ime could make Fox a passable defender, or at least cover for him with the other defenders.

Both teams stepping up defensively.  Very low scoring quarter.

Jrue played incredible defense on Jalen Green there.  Jalen is a freak athlete but Jrue anticipated his moves ahead.

Not sure why the C?s aren?t hunting Vanvleet.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

So I don't watch the Rockets like ever.   Is Sengun supposed to be borderline all star this year?
I keep hearing about him, but he hasn't looked that good when I have seen  him.   But I missed the 1st half of the game.   Maybe I am just catching him on bad days.

Houston only has 8 assists as a team.  They're not going far in the playoffs unless they can get the ball moving in the half court.  The shots they were making in the first half have dried up this quarter.

Cheap call on Queta! The Rockets are so handsy and just get to do it.

The All star game favors offensive players. Sengun is a good offensive player but can't defend.
