Well don’t I feel like an ass. I just saw a clip of the game and excitedly came here to say how jealous I was that they had a Basquiat inspired court. Had no idea. Pretty awesome in my book.
To be fair, the only thing I actually saw of the court was the polished concrete look of the hardwood and I couldn’t wrap my head around that, I could barely even focus... So that said, I paid the actual design/logos no attention.

I think the main issue with the city uniforms is that there’s no unifying idea behind them. It’s not like, “Let’s show off the cool parts of the city this team is in!” If anything, most of these jerseys are just like “well, here’s a random Jersey idea, I guess.”
Basquiat is from Brooklyn so at least that makes sense. Houston’s jerseys are just blue and say H-Town for no discernible reason and ours are just practice jerseys that say Sactown on them in blue letters.
If they’re gonna do city jerseys, I want to see them do really crazy city-focused idea with them. Like make ours based on the Tower Records logo scheme or something. Last year’s Miami’s Miami Vice neon logo jerseys had it right. This year’s Miami jerseys do not.

According to my go-to resource for information about Houston, Texas (former Houston resident Bomani Jones), the Rockets' alternate jersey colors are an homage to the former Houston Oilers. "H-Town" (or "H-Tine," [stress on the second syllable] in the appropriate accent) is, apparently, how Houstonians refer to themselves.
so Fred is officially in the history books all by himself. Good for him. No wonder he was tearing up after the game. I also believe he tied or beat DeRozan's franchise scoring high
How the hell Ja getting more votes than Spida when he's missed like half the season with an injury and his team had a bunch of games cancelled because of COVID?

Draymond Green is, like, the highest of high-level roleplayers, which is something that doesn't get half the love from fans that it deserves. Whenever he's in his bag, I remember a guy like Boris Diaw, in his prime, and I think, "Imagine if Prime!Diaw could also play defense?"
I’m not sure this is true, Haliburton is loved on this forum more than our star and he is a super role player.
We really don’t have a ton of those guys in the league. Lou Williams? Alex Caruso? Black Falcon? I can’t think of a definitive list of guys who are great at a couple things but aren’t one of the team’s top two players.
Okay, I'll rephrase: super high-level roleplayers, IMO, do not get half the love from fans who do not root for the team that the high-level roleplayer plays for, that they deserve.

unfortunate injury to Wood who was having himself a Most Improved player award waiting for him at the end of the season and now it will go to someone else. He does have chicken legs though
Well, there aren't many super high-level roleplayers in the league, at any given time, but Lou Williams, before he apparently became washed. I wouldn't call PJ Tucker a "super" high-level roleplayer, but he's an example of a high-level roleplayer who doesn't get enough love, outside of Houston. Marcus Smart is another guy; he's pretty close to that super high-level threshold.
