    Kevin McHale is better than Ime Udoka. That is how bad he is.

    Yeah but I feel this is more on Ime than the player. With the gravity he creates you should get better shots with him on the floor.

    Sengun has been a much bigger issue than Reed tonight.

    Sengun needs to come out. Why he shooting random threes like he’s a great shooter? smh

    I've been tuned out since halftime, could instantly tell we had no chance. What a complete waste of a season.

    Lakers making damn near everything they throw up.

    Meanwhile, Rockets are shooting 3's off side of the backboard and *completely* clanking 3's top of the key.

    Game 2 next....

    Ok, I’ll agree with you for the sake of argument.

    Now that we agree that Ime is the singular cause of all the Rockets problems, what the **** are Stone and Tilman going to do about it?

    Nothing but Smart posting up Reed and pushing him off. They are targeting Reed.
