Even though we won, I didn't like how the team play defense on the big. When Sengun was so deep against Sabonis, someone got to come in and hack him...you can't just left Sabonis alone on the island (he's not a great defender)....I seen that quite a few times and it is disappointing there is absolutely no strategy in defending it. It's the same thing with Giannis going after Sabonis. Guys who are guarding the perimeter need to be aware to help Sabonis out. This is one area I hope Christie improve moving forward. I mean you don't need to double him, but can't you at least try to do fake double? At least do something to bother him? They did absolutely nothing.

Well, I do. I don't want dry assed no-flavor broadcasting. Like, rest in peace to the legend Chick Hearn. Rest in peace to the legend Gordon Solie. Rest in peace to the legend Vin Scully. I give G-Man his props, too... and it's nice, every now and then. But I ain't trying to listen to that 82 times a year.
I rarely ever watch the TNT guys anymore, but did watch their halftime show and, well, it didn’t disappoint.
Barkley and Kenny basically arguing for Sengun over Domas because they are winning more. Cool. But as I pointed out a couple seasons ago when the KINGS were flying high in 3rd place in the West — where was that same argument for Domas and Swipa? lmao.
When it was the KINGS doing more winning than potential all-stars from other teams — then their POV was “the KINGS are new on the block and the winning may not sustain”. SMH. Doesn’t matter now that the Rockets are the new kids on the block (they haven’t qualified for the postseason in almost 5 years and have been a perennial tanking lottery team), now all of a sudden the “winning” thing trumps all when it didn’t 2 years ago.
For the record, I couldn’t care less who does or who doesn’t get voted to all-star games. I gave up caring about that years ago. What irritates me is the inconsistency, hypocrisy, and bias involved. It reminded me why I rarely pay attention to those guys, and numerous others, anymore.
More to the point on tonight‘s game — my hats off to the KINGS for holding the Rockets off. Clutch FT shooting down the stretch. This was a super important game that needed to be won. And they got it done.

I wouldn't go that far, haha... it's a distinct trait for a player's coach. Just like the other coaching styles, they exist for their reasons and they stop working when it comes to a certain point.
We were obviously at a point where Coach Brown's words weren't resonating with our players so it'll just be right for us to switch up to a player's coach who can wrap their arms around a players and give them the trust and the right level of motivation.

If y'all chase @RoyalDiva back off the board behind being immature about a damned glow stick, there's gon' be trouble.
And, on that note, I gotta get up in less than four hours to drive my dad to dialysis. Argue amongst y'all selves.
