    Sooooo, I’m in the Amsterdam Airport and ran into this tall dude sporting Rockets gear.  I introduced myself and he said his name was Clint.  Man, he was as nice and gracious as he could be.  I told h

Yeah there's only 6 games left and still have the same issues with this group...getting timely buckets at critical times. Hoped we'd have figured things out by now. But Closing of games or our inability to, is gonna lead to some crushing defeats in the playoffs. But guess its just something you gotta accept going thru the growing pains with a young team like this.

Meh. On the road and lakers had to have two scrubs have the games of their life to win by 6. Far from a dominate win that would make me worry.

I'd take Grimes straight up for Green right now. 

Give me a fucking break. This is delusional.

Did think it was odd that Ime chose to sit Green the last 3/4 minutes last night. May have been looking for better defensive matchups. Did he mention anything about it in his postgame presser?

I know Fred is a great guy and we need him. But his fucking jumper is so hot/cold (usually cold) and he got picked on defensively in the 4th quarter. We didn't double and Luka/LBJ ate him up.  

I hate having Brooks and FVV on the court together at end of games. Jalen should have been in for FVV in crunch time last night, especially considering it was a back-to-back.

Green fucking sucks. He's still the worst player (on/off) of the Rockets regulars. 4th year and there has been no real growth in his game. Still upside down on his ORtg/DRtg.

He has made steady improvement the past 2 years and is shooting better now than at any point in his career. I can point out a bunch of stats and lists he is in rare company for a SG at his age.

This isn't true. His best shooting splits are from his rookie season. I was hopeful this season, after he got his big extension that he would put in real work to reshape his body and get stronger. None of this has happened and he's just too weak with the ball and his body to take contact on drives. While his 3-point shooting has improved, it's still below league average. This combined with his career low in FTr. means that he's overall the same player he has always been for 4 years. When added to his below average defense and basketball IQ you get the worst rotational player on your roster when you are expecting and paying for AS level production.

Last game of the season against a bad squad; from here on out it’s all playoff teams….

Too bad the Spurs are such a bunch of losers or Denver might be in trouble tonight. 

Denver’s entire starting 5 is out

Yeah. Denver is only a 2.5 point favorite at home.

Reed is balling and all the rotation players got the 4th off. Good to see.

5 for 7, all from 3 in 9 min is nuts.  

Warriors knock off LA…magic number with them and Denver is 3….

OKC playing all their starters is some deeply crazy shit. 

And Rockets currently up by 15.  I expect that to change, but damn they look good.

Edited by Rip76

I kind of wonder if OKC says screw it start the plane if they’re done 20 at halftime. 
 

They should be playing their G League B Side right now. They’re 3 games up on the Cavs right now. It’s not even a Finals home court thing at this point.

Tari standing at the 3 point line and jacking 3’s is not a winning play. What analytics dork thought this might work?

Edited by billfromlaketravis

I doubt the Celtics will blow a 20 point at the end of the 3rd to the Suns. So they’ll likely lose again. 
 

A top 10 pick in this draft is a potential gold mine.

Problem is the Kings are accepting their challenge to see who can care the least…

So let’s psychoanalyze the Thunder. Down 20 and still playing SGA, their tall white guys, and Williams. 
 

They know they could have to play 28 games in the playoffs right?!

Who cares man...let them run them into the ground

Okc likes to hack man....also Chet with moving screen

Good job of getting quality shots several times when OKC was really close to a major momentum swing. No turnovers or dumb fouls and we should bring this one home…
