Here’s what it sounded like on SportsTalk790 as your @HoustonRockets defeated the @warriors to advance to Vegas! #Liftoff @SportsMT & @adamclanton on the call. #Rockets

It’s being reported that the Heat might be willing to trade Jimmy Butler and the Rockets are being prominently mentioned as a destination. Thoughts?

We hammered the shit out of that guy, but the Warriors got like 8 seconds to inbound that ball.

This is so true. It was a solid 7/8 seconds and should have been a turnover ending the game. The refs helped GS a lot that game, but the Rockets somehow made it through.

Their defense is fun to watch and their offense has its moments. If this team ever figures out how to shoot consistently, they will be a contender. Just need to figure out how to flip Green for a 3+D guy with some length and they will be in great shape. Or stand pat and hope someone on the roster can become that guy.

I’m not listening to a single Warriors complaint about the refs.

How do these games effect the Rockets schedule? Is it adjusted to remain at 82 or are they gonna end up playing 82+?

League schedules 80 games. Teams who make the knockout stage play 2 games decided by tournament matchups. The eliminated teams play 2 more games as decided by the league. 

 

How does the Emirates NBA Cup affect the regular season? 

Every team will still play an 82-game regular season. All Emirates NBA Cup games will count toward the regular-season standings except the Championship, which will sit outside the regular season. 
 

NBA schedule update ⬇️The 22 teams that did not qualify for the Quarterfinals of the Emirates NBA Cup have been assigned two regular-season games that will be played on Dec. 12 or 13 and Dec. 15 or 16.

Haven’t paid attention in a while

saw Steve Kerr bitching about the refs and crying

Also, picking up Steven Adams is legit. Dude is a great player.

Did Jalen Green get injured while I was taking a shit, or did he just disappear for Tari and Amen?

5 point game with 7 minutes  left, and both teams are shooting poorly. Can't be too upset with that, OKC plays really good defense too, and both offenses are sputtering tonight. Seems like a lot of missed free throws for the Rockets though.  Hope they can pull it off just for the fun of it, but no shame in losing to the Thunder here. They are really really good. 

#537

Problem is the majority of Rockets lack of offense had nothing to do with the Thunders D. We missed a fuck ton of open threes and had some lazy ass ball security in the first half with horrible passing decisions.

Typically, when FVV isn't there, the team is much worse. Tonight was just a bad night for everyone.

Sengun made some uncharacteristically bad decisions when the triple teams came.

Amen Thompson needs to spend the rest of the season working on shooting with an arc. His shot is so flat, the ball can't see anything but rim. No need to wait until off-season, because just *some* arc would unlock him as a demon.

And SGA is really fn good.

Alpi had an awful first 8 mins and it snowballed from there until the last 4 mins of the game. They allowed all physical play and he just couldn’t convert. 
 

Frustrating to watch SGA drive and find high percentage shots for himself when they struggled shooting from the outside. Drawing fouls etc. It feels like Green has the ability to do it but he just doesn’t.

Reed shepherd is looking to be a massive bust. At this point his best hope is to develop into a good come off the bench guy. 
I suspect he will be sent to G League or whatever the hell it is called now in the near future

You might look back at giving up on a kid that played one season of college ball 24 games into his rookie year as a bit of an overreaction.
