I like some of the ideas that Queta has on the court.  That short roll pass to the corner is a nice play from a seven-footer.  Needs to be more accurate but like I said, love the thought. 

[jpotter33]

Queta really rounding into a capable backup for us. Gives us the opportunity for multiple double big lineups - not that I'm really wanting to see that. More useful for managing Al/KP minutes.

[SCeltic34]

KP is really hurting us defensively.

[jpotter33]

And more second chance points given up. We're playing double big with an elite rebounder in Tatum at the 3 - grab the dang rebound guys. You just have to put the focus on boxing out and grabbing it. That's literally all you have to do. It's not like they have a Gobert or Wemby out there with huge reach advantages. They're just crashing the boards hard.

[Silas]

I'm guessing that Sam's back is bothering him...only 8 minutes and no shots.

and then he shows up.

[Phantom255x]

Of course a bad 3-point shooting team is lighting us up. BECAUSE OF COURSE

[liam]

Terrible call!

[jpotter33]

Ugh, come on, Luke. Three opportunities you missed there.

And that's clearly a charge on VanVleet.

EDIT: Upon review, that's pretty inexcusable that the ref missed that. White was motionless for a full two seconds before VanVleet ran into him. That's about as clean of a charge as you're going to get.

VAN VLEET

houston announcers are crying LOL

[jpotter33]

Okay - are you all getting the dumb aerial views like half the game, too? I think I'm on the NBCSBoston feed, and they keep giving us that view for whatever reason.

[jpotter33]

JT coming alive!

And another crazy move to end the half. Good end to an otherwise slow half for him.

jay tee for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
