Adams shot 90% from the free throw line. I love him.

Remembering the Dwight days makes me so thankful we have bigs we can actually trust at the ft line

What a stat line for Adam’s in only 17 minutes. What an impactful player he’s been for the Rockets.

I am so happy we picked up Clint so we can manage Stevo during the regular season. We don’t need to wear him out in November.

jkmiami89 | Rockets

Plus we get Clint again it’s so great to have him back.

FERFreak731 | Jazz

Ace Bailey had a great game. People should respect Key for playing while sick

A +2 in 31 minutes when your team got blown out is quite impressive. Seemed like the one bright spot for you guys today.

Rook2Rook

Absolutely not. If you’re sick and insist on playing you’re basically saying a limited you is a better option than your teammates. Very insulting and negative overall to team morale. Isaiah Collier and Walter Clayton could’ve done better with more minutes

there’s no indication that he “insisted” on playing

Misread the comment lol

Jazz just generally seemed out of it today, especially George who was reportedly playing sick, but Reed was a menace and the duo of a returning Durant and Sengun going ²⁰⁄₂₉ for 52 points was always going to be formidable.

Turned into a lot of leftover garbage time where our announcers were busy debating if calling someone “Unc” is an insult or not.

frankievejle | Rockets

There was a period in the first quarter where Jazz had like 10 possessions in a row where they either missed an easy layup, or got stripped dribbling into traffic or threw a bad pass or airbag airballed an open shot lol.

Sengun and Durant was great tonight with great efficiency too

Holy batman yikes on George’s numbers

Another succinct and insightful take from u/heatfan

I agree, Sengun and Durant are the new Batman and Robin

Shoutout to Reed on 4 steals and 2 blocks to go along with 4 assists and 6 rebounds

Durant is the GOAT

Nurkic would’ve gotten a triple double if he played more than 20 minutes. someone has to scoop him up at the trade deadline

MegaAltarianite

He isn’t going anywhere. Without Kessler, Utah needs a center to start. They don’t have another true center on the roster outside two way player Oscar Tshiebwe.

Nelsonmuntz2020

You need a center to tank? Because tanking should be the plan for another 2-3 years

Spoonandmagnet

Two years ago Adams shot 36% on his free throws. This year he is shooting 73%… and this game hasn’t even been logged in Bballref yet. I know it’s early in the season, but has anyone ever fixed their free throw to this extent ever?

Acceptable_Tap1809 | Hawks

Ace Bailey with the only positive +/- on the team tonight. This draft class looks fantastic.

Was watching this one live till Q3, and gotta say, ppl saying Keyonte was ill were defo right cos my word was he bad. No fault of his own but he looked finished out there. For a positive, Ace looked really good and Nurk honestly had a decent game.

Rockets were just being the Rockets tho lol. Didn’t connect on as many 3’s as usual but still found a way to get through, like they got to the stripe so many times it was mental (20 times in first half or smthg ridiculous like that).
