Sengun almost always has a great game against Wemby. Very interesting matchup. Still think Houston needs to find KD more in games like this. Guys like Reed aren’t always going to spark a comeback like this time.
It’s like Chet > Sengun > Wemby > Chet in terms of matchups
Yeah they still have issues offensively but that defence will carry you through a lot
Nah, Houston sucks at passing in general and without a true PG, trying to force the ball to KD instead of letting it flow organically leads to TO’s….also, Houston is going to need guys like Reed and Smith to play this way. They have no hope of a deep run just trying to hand the ball off to Sengun and KD especially if the defense isn’t respecting the few consistent shooters they have.
REED SHEPPARD 21/2/4/1/2
2 blocks
Mb fixed it! Box score said 1 but you’re right I remember 2
You’re missing our top scorer in the game? Lol
Rockets D was suffocating especially missing Adams
SteveO has had some problems defending in the PnR but he does so much you look past it
Sengun has his way with Wemby
Offensive elbows do that
Sure. Absolutely.
Glad you agree
I reckon you’ll find most post players in the league get away with it
Jokic and sengun biggest offenders of offensive foul elbow
Awesome thanks for that
Wonder how many near triple double Alp has this season.
He gets so close on the regular I was surprised when they said he only had 10
What a stacked league.
do you just watch box scores to post the statlines as they happen? not even a mention of reed or jabari after that 4th quarter is surprising
Really needed PG KD tonight, he had some great assists
Alpy my GOAT 😍
There’s a weird phenomenon this season where the Rockets seem to do better the less shots KD takes. They are 3-5 when he takes more than 20 shots and 7-1 when he takes less than 15.
When he takes a lot of shots it means no one else can hit when the team shoots well he goes with the flow
it’s because KD doesn’t hunt his own shot to super high volume unless the rest of the team is shooting turbo ass
check his assist numbers in the games where he takes many shots vs. few shots, he’s a willing passer but sometimes we just don’t have anyone going so we say ‘ok you just try to rain buckets to carry us’
