    Wood has 0 interest in guarding Gobert, this is straight up embarrassing for him right now.

    The Jazz are going to let Tate take threes all night as he is horrible at hitting them

    Wood just pisses me off. Maybe I should call him Teak.
    Teak Wood, dense as hell.

    Wood is basically double teamed under the rim when Tate is at the 3 point line

    Throw KJ in for Tate, I bet he can get his hands higher than Gobert can.

    Wood's defense this game is undefensible.

    They've got to get Tate out of there. Gobert's camping in the middle and not even trying to contest his 3 point shot, and on offense he's blocking him out of every play, eliminating our help defense and creating clear paths for their drivers.

    Every smaller guy is getting gassed cause they have to guard fking gobert, since Woods refuses to do it. Tate 3s shot is not there. Wood should not b asking the ball at the top of key just for that sht pass.

    Jalen really needs to work on finishing strong around the basket... these weak ass half floaters that graze off the rim aren't gonna cut it.

    Green is just missing everything, KPJ and Gordon should just shoot more tbh

    People keep saying KJ needs a 3, he only needs to be streaky from there. What he should really do is bulk up and just model his driving game on LeBron. 6'6 with hops like that and a more powerful frame how should be able to posterize anybody tbh.

    He's at the perimeter with Bojan (who also scored on him). Everybody but our center had a turn defending Rudy. And if Wood is not scoring on the other end; might as well put in Theis.

    Tate is a black hole on offense, Green is a black hole on defense.

    The Rockets are having to play 4 on 5 on both ends of the court.
