    Morey would hate this offense. Very few three pointers and a ton of mid range.

    Deni 0 free throws in the 1st quarter, and his ass ended up scoreless

    Deni Avdija is an industry plant

    just look how much quicker the rockets switch on defense and close out on shooters.

    sorry KD but you gonna have to step up a notch on defense.

    Just don’t let Deni beat us again. Keep up that press defense.

    Cant wait til the 3 games at the end of the season when Reed gets to be the main guy on offense and doesnt feel compelled to defer to some of these other guys and subsequently looks like a future star.

    It’s a real problem that has persisted for a while. Super frustrating

    Yeah KD has lost several steps on defense, I never feel confident when he's squared up, I feel like he's on stilts sometimes and can't get low like he used to. Just looks awkward, might just be me.

    Miracle to have a lead after 1.

    We need Sengun to draw the fouls off Clingan and their other bigs.
