November 20Nov 20 Solid professional win! Got up 20+, on the road you expect a good team to make that run at you. Then you slam the door on em for a double digit W!
November 20Nov 20 Good win. The Cavs are a pretty good team, but still missing some key players. Mitchell was not good tonight, but credit to the defense for making him struggle so much. The Rockets seem like a legit #3 in the West, and with a bit of luck, they could make the WCF.

November 20Nov 20 Two head Reed and Hoiday monster > FVV? I’d yes. Finals FVV ain’t walking through that door again. He’s still in Giannis, Jokic, and Wemby’s shadows but Alpie is going to get MVP votes if he keeps this up. One of the most remarkable weight room development stories in NBA history.
November 20Nov 20 Man this team is fun to watch. Alpi has developed into such a beast. As good as Donovan was in the fourth quarter, Aaron Holiday was even better. 🔥🔥
November 20Nov 20 Udoka coaching a the most efficient offense in the league, just as everyone expected.

The Athletic NBA Daily podcast went of their own to shit on the Rockets’ offense today. If I didn’t know better, I think Rockets at Cavs was the first Rockets game they’ve watched this year.

November 21Nov 21 We replaced Jalen Green with Kevin Durant. What a fucking upgrade. It's like breaking up with a Baytown stripper and you're now dating Charlize Theron. Life is good. And classy. I'm gonna go pour a bourbon.

They should shit on OKC's offense since Houston leads them in both offensive rating and overall adjusted net rating.

Well let’s see what they focused on. - 3rd quarter stall against the Cavs. Welp, Durant played like shit for the first time this season. No other examples. That’s it. Just this game. Just this quarter. - The female host kept repeating the Rockets are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league. They’re near the top in percentage. Near the bottom in attempts. 21st in made 3’s. So they’re not the worst, and nobody checked her once. I’m fine with them taking wide open 3’s and taking everything else to the basket. See the Celtics postseason. - People get paid well for this bullshit. Please teach me how. Edited November 21Nov 21 by billfromlaketravis
November 21Nov 21 Some idiot on NBA radio suggested the Rockets should trade Sheppard, Eason, and two 1sts for Ja Morant. I wouldn't trade Sheppard for Morant straight up. Morant would be like adding Jalen Green back into the picture. We don't need a PG because Sengun and Durant can get their own shots without the need for an initiator. Really we need a CG that can shot the ball more consistently than Okoge.

He has struggled to make a consistent impact scoring and playmaking in some of these games and it puts a ton of pressure on KD and Sengun. You're still winning because that's just how good those two guys are. Not smoking open layups would be a start. I like Holiday - certainly more than Okogie. He's just small.

I just don't see him signing for what the Rockets will offer, and if I'm the Rockets I wouldn't want to commit a lot of resources to a guy made of glass, even with his improved shooting. 3 and D guys are like OFs in MLB, there are plenty.
November 21Nov 21 Simmons and Lowe reranked the 2024 Draft and they had Reed 2nd behind Sarr. Better than Risacher is wild, but I’m there too. I guess Castle didn’t come up because of his injury.

They didn't actually rerank the entire draft the question was if you'd rather have Sheppard or Risacher. I'm thinking (now) they meant if you had to rerank the guys that went top 3. Risacher had a really nice rookie season he may just be sophomore slumping or had a particularly bad game. Edited November 21Nov 21 by ztejas

November 22Nov 22 Refs are not calling a lot of fouls in favor of the rockets. Should have been an And 1 for KD
November 22Nov 22 They’re clogging the paint and taking those rim cuts from the dunkers spot, etc away. Gonna keep packing it in until we can hit a few or at least penetrate it from some different angles
November 22Nov 22 Steven Adams needs to take the rest of the night off. Goodness he's just lost on the court on both ends.
