People are going to keep saying Vivek! Vivek! But no one can convince me that Vivek wants to see this lazy, slow and careless starting lineup step on to the court. Coach Christie can do what he wants and he clearly believes this lineup is his best chance to compete for whatever reason. Yikes!

Just saw that Russ has a 10-6 record against KD. Tank might be derailed for the night.

It's a little hard to predict. Many times Westbrook trying extra hard is a good thing. But then there are those other times when he'll go 1 for 10 and flirt with double digit turnovers.

Now that teams know not to just go directly at Eubanks at the rim, the poor man is being destroyed in nearly every aspect of the game lol

Accurate

I don't think this plodding pace is going to very effective against a Rockets team that's built for this. I'd like to see the bench put out on the floor to run the legs off the Rockets, then let our starters in when their bench comes out.

We sure can turn it over with the worst of teams

At this point the question is, what don't they do among the worst of teams

 

[Tetsujin]

when/if Domas comes back, Max better be getting Eubanks’s spot in the rotation.

 

[Tetsujin]

MAX BANK THREE

 

[NewArena]

Do my eyes deceive me? Is that Max out on the court already

 

[MizzouKing]

I gotta say, though, the defensive effort has been there thus far!

 

[NewArena]

They already look so much more fluid out there with Eubanks out lol even though the shot didn’t go in

 

[Tetsujin]

Glad the Rockets passed on Keegs to draft Jabari Jr lol. I was wrong about him

 

[Spike]

Bank's open late.

The effort has been there against the teams they have no business beating but that habit has been a thing since the first Beam team

What's the record for turnovers in a game? Just, casually asking for poops and giggles.

 

[Tetsujin]

Team much better with Max out there

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Team much better with Max out there

He's the answer

 

[Tetsujin]

Not a fan of whatever Amen’s doing with his facial hair tho lol

 

[Tetsujin]

MAX 2/2 from threeee

Looks like the answer is 45: https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-turnovers-in-an-nba-game-by-a-team

That's a tough mark to beat but I'd give this group a puncher's chance.

 

[Tetsujin]

Jabari got blocked by Keegs and Nique on two straight plays lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Keon refusing to just catch and shoot when someone passes him the ball is probably part of why he doesn’t play as much as we’d like him to.

Was a good choice not to force one over Durant. Part of his value is shot selection

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

I was always under the impression that Houston was a good NBA town: why's it so quiet in there?

 

[Tetsujin]

MAX GOING FOR WILT’S RECORD

 

[Caccia]

Mad Max putting on a show. The feeds have been excellent, as well.

Five assists for the bench, only 2 for the starters, both from Westbrook.

Achuiwa is a real pro. Always plays hard with iQ
