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.

He started off strong.  Was scoring easily on Zinger by being physical.  Zinger looks rusty.

Oh snap, Tatum snatched his ankles!

There's been quite a few highlights this game between posters and taking the ankles.

Adams just moved Queta out of the way like he was a little kid.  :laugh:

He?s so strong.

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.

PP and FVV is an interesting matchup.  I kind of view prime FVV as the pie-in-the-sky upside for Pritchard, rightly or wrongly. 

EDIT:  Looking at the stats, PP is already a fair bit more efficient than FVV ever was.  Obviously a difference in burden there though - FVV was having to pretend to be a #1 on some of those Toronto teams.

Way too many [dang] turnovers.

These offensive rebounds are infuriating, almost as much as the turnovers.

That was one ugly quarter.  17 to 16.  But at least we won it.

JT, man, why take a step back there? You literally had Adams beat going left. Every end of quarter shot doesn't have to be a three.

I?d rather have Pritchard.

Then Rocket travels on the other end and gets a foul call!

Houston?s playing very physical defense specially on KP.

Whitmore doesn't know his limits.  Lots of physical ability but lots of plays where he tries to do way too much.
