I’m trying to figure out how a team that’s already good still needs officials to hold their hand and guide them to victory. Momentum was changing in the Rockets favor, and then you got a smattering of foul calls when the Warriors offense stalled, killing the Rockets momentum instantly.

Nice team effort last night and digging deep once the Hornets started chipping away at the lead. All the starters in double figures and getting good contributions from the bench. Feel like it still may be awhile before the bench is totally solidified, cause Whitmore and Tari haven’t even been in the lineup yet. Those will be your most impactful guys, followed by Amen, Jeff Green, and Tate.

Some night and day defense compared to previous years. Udoka is such a professional, dude was even getting on guys despite being up a bunch. Once Tari gets back, him and Whitmore should be able to really solidify the bench. Sucks Amen has an injury as well. Those three plus Tate will basically be the core of the bench.

Whitmore not getting no meaningful minutes anytime soon unless something unfortunate happened. Holiday has been steady. He might be the better option right now. His on ball pressure is elite. Plus Amen. Doesn’t look completely comfortable bringing the ball up. His handles have looked suspect at the pro level.


The balance scoring is welcome. It make the defense think. They can’t jsut zero in on one playee although it’s clear that when Jalen has the ball defense (so far) really they to pressure him to be the ball out his hand. They don’t. Do that to the other starters. They’re not doubling FVV and trying to trap him on the perimeter.


Sabonis saw Sengun make one three in game one and from then on, he was biting on every pump fake from the perimeter .

Theyre saying Tari might return on Wednesday night against he Lakers. If Ad is out, it’s goin be a frustrating night for Lebron. The Laker are 0-2 in the last two years, whe they play us without AD

It’s crazy Amen was supposed to be unequivocally the better twin at the next level and Ausar has looked better so far in the league.

A thorough wire to wire beating, what more could you ask for vs the Lakers. They basically forced Lebron to quit. The game was basically over at the half. There’s a clear schematic difference in Udoka’s coaching compared to Silas’ “coaching”.













Also…Christian Wood…6’11” 215 and total weak sauce lmao. Had a chance to step up in ADisney’s absence and he basically just did wind sprints for 22 minutes.

The H
Team plays with so much force. Al-P looks so much better on defense. Or maybe it’s just the guys around him elevating him. But I can see him being a star in the future now. Wasn’t so sure before. Having Dillon, Tate, and Eason all being top tier dawgs is fun to watch.

Don’t want to get too high though. Played through some injured teams at home. Hope we steal another one Friday with the Pels looking banged up.
