    I hope our guys are watching the Hawks/Knicks game.

    There's no way you can be down this badly at home in the first quarter. 7 steals in one quarter is wild.

    Have they brought Mario Elie to talk to the young guys and give words of encouragement?

    One adjustment I anticipate JJ making is not doubling as much on Sengun. The ball movement, cuts, and wide open corner 3’s generated from those doubles won’t be there.

    So I expect the half court offense to get ugly at times. Getting out in transition will be key in Game 6. I’m also expecting (hoping) Sengun dominates those one-on-one coverages and to have a monster game.

    Let’s get this done and force a game 7!

    That’s what happened in game 7 last year. We played good defense but we couldn’t score.

    Sengun made some nice passes. At times, Thompson did as well, although there were also some turnovers.

    I hate to advocate taking Sengun off the floor a bit more but I’d like to see him play a few less minutes.

    See if a Lineup of

    Smith
    Eason
    Okogie
    Reed
    Amen

    Can work against Ayton in opening up the kame

    Win or lose the last 2 wins have been promising. Good season despite all the injuries..

    Just run it back with KD, FVv ,and Adams all healed!

    Go Rockets!

    I’m fine with this. We don’t know what’s really going on in the locker room. If it isn’t bad, then I still think we can contend running it back , assuming FVV and Adams return to form.
