    It’s really a disadvantage when our center can’t even attempt to guard Ayton. Painful.

    I really i mean REALLY hate when Tari dribbles the ball. He's too unskilled to do it consistently.

    He’s so sloppy with the ball I get nervous everytime he touches it.

    He is an excellent string puller. He once made several scream in seven octaves at the same time :eek:

    What's the Rockets record this season when both Amen and DFS make 3's?

    Hey, but he's engaged tonight and giving effort. His offensive choices? Not always great, but his effort and positioning on D have been much improved as the series has gone on.

    Sengun should no longer play the center, just the 4 spot. We need another capable center to back up Adams.

    can't blame jabari as the shot clock was running down

    however, he did have about 3 seconds to take 2 steps closer to the shoot the ball instead of launching it at 35ft

    that would make sense if he could shoot. Very frustrating

    That’s what I like to see out of an opponent timeout
