    It’s silly that people thought Amen and Jalen have issues.

    Great comeback win last night. Team is looking great to finish the season.

    Shout out to my man Jae’Sean Tate. He checked into the game and played like a Tazmanian Devil for about 5 minutes and completely changed the tone of the game. He was a +11 in 7 minutes. The bench unit really did some work last night and I was glad we played more than an 8 man rotation. No DFS and it seemed to work well.

    I guess I just expected more. A letter grade only for being 30% on 3-point percentage? How would you view Durant if he was making 50% of his threes? Reed 48%? JSJ 45%?

    Amen has been Paolo efficient from outside 10 feet from the basket, and he does not have Paolo's foul drawing wail, volume of shots, or gravity.

    Amen has been fabulous. He just does not fight over screens as easily as he did last year. This gets compounded by the person switching with him is worse this year. I love FVV, but he did not make Amen better at getting over screens.

    we have to win at least one game to secure the 5th seed. . Wolves are three losses behind with 3 games left for each team, including a matchup on April 10th.

    I wonder what our record with DFS is and without. Seems like we win a lot when he doesn’t play at all.

    He forgot to mention an OKC Win or a Spurs Loss to Portland/Dallas/or Denver.

    I'd rather the third seed over the 4th just because it is higher. It would also make you think.............If only Ime could coach in close games

    Rockets could still pass the Nuggets and end up #6. Jokic has missed a lot of games already, but I still expect the Nuggets to rest him for at least 2 of their last 3 games.

    Meeting the T-Wolves in the 1st round is still very much in play for the Rockets.

    EDIT: Jokic is sitting at 63 games with 3 left. He probably plays 2 more to reach 65.

    I can see why Devin Booker and Kd didn’t work out aside from the health issues. But they’re kinda reduandant like LeBron and Luka.
    Booker is a really good player but he get worse or less agressive as the. Game plays on. He was hot to start. . Ended up 7-16 but it felt like he hit about 90% of his field goals in the first quarter.

    Add Badly Beal and that team made no sense. Dillon Brooks is a nice addition they need a really pg. I didn’t think so at first since I think Booker is a great combo guard but he’s not a floor general . They need to try a double big lineup. We just bullied them. I love when the Rockets use their size and length to bully smaller teams j to submission like last night
    lol what’s not to understand. I dont agree with it either. Loved it when they were here but those two received hate when They actually wore our uniform so not surprised .


    What’s your favorite Experience album? How would you rank them?
