I’ll save my officiating bitching for June when they eliminate us from the playoffs. 

Hard to bitch about the officials when the Rockets kept shooting themselves in the foot late in the game. Missed FTs, Reed Sheppard, KD's disappearing act, Reed Sheppard, bad shot selection, Reed Sheppard, silly turnovers.

Sheppard playing in his first real NBA pressure cooker looked ok. Made some bad decisions, had some flashes. 
 

Tari and Bari are who im worried about. Both far from green. 
 

Tari looked worthless other than a bench energy/d guy and Bari looked the same. Just disappeared for half the game

You said Reed Sheppard thrice

Okogie is a Thunder in spirit. Can’t shoot for shit, but plays his ass off on defense and makes winning plays around the basket. 
 

Tiny sample size, but maybe he can close games at the 2? I wish he could play point guard because the dude is down to scrap. 

 If Josh Okogie is on the floor in crunch time...you arent a serious team. he's that bad on offense . Basically someone who can spare thompson some minutes and guard the other teams best guard in that time frame...but he can't be depended on offense and teams will ignore him 

 

or someone when you sub defense for offense kind of situations. But out there with KD, Sengun, Thompson and Smith? unsustainable

22 turnovers. Way too many. That was what lost the game, imo. 

Everyone  but Jabari was sloppy with the ball at times. KD late, especially.

Does Finney-Smith take those mins when he returns? Speaking of any time table on when that is?

Yep me too. We were missing two rotational players, they were missing one.

Love the playoff series game one over reactions. Going to be a fun season. 

No shit. Double OT, one point loss to the best roster in the NBA on fucking ring night and the vaginas are gushing blood like the elevators in The Shining….

He's a fucking joke. The amount they played him was alarming. I tried to say it in here when HOU signed him. 

That said - this team is going to be really fucking good. They may need to trade for a PG but if that starting frontcourt stays healthy then look out. The rebounding is just absurd.

It's infuriating that Fred Van Vleet is exactly what we need.

Y'all are going to be just fine. Your GM has put an absolute monster together. Run a few more games and if Sheppard really can't play point then I'd target a PG.

I'm saying it again - y'all have no idea how good Durant is. If he plays 65 games there are 7 games in there where he just randomly wins you the game. 

People underrate Udoka, too. Dude can coach his fucking balls off. The West is just murder this season. There are like 6 teams that are amazingly constructed and at their best could win a title.

Durant and Reed were a combined 2-11 from BTA, those are our likely two best shooters, that needs to be 4.5+

Damn, Sengun was +53 in On/Off.

Windhurst and Lowe are going to have the Rockets out of the play-in if they drop this game. The daily NBA reactionary takes are a scene. 

They have to talk about something during the pre-season.

0-2 to start the season is not ideal. Detroit made the key defensive stops to win tonight. 

It easy to do when you can pack the paint because you have 3 non shooters on the court. Double Durant and pack the paint. Smith, Thompson, and Eason don't scare anyone. Of course the Rockets also missed 11 FTs. You can't be a average FT shooting team on top of all the other weaknesses offensively.

Thompson, Sengun and JSJ all completely shit the bed offensively late. Just nothing from any of them.

You can't blame that on missing a point guard.
