Yeah I'm doing that now, but I still missed most of the first quarter :hihi:
Missing this many people on a back to back, Houston will fade later in the game. We just have to be in striking distance and not in a gaping hole when they do.
Big fan of Jax getting 5 points and 3 rebounds in under 2 minutes though
Eric Gordon wants us dead
That was a killer bounce for them
I can't believe Jrue passed up on driving on Isaiah Hartenstein to go for the Okafor post-up instead :hihi:
There is Jah!
E'twaun Moore has the least convincing hesi in the league :hihi:
The issues for this team are like a broken record. Dont settle and start jacking 3s and good things happen. Especially against a Dantoni team with no bigs.
Yet, every single game they have these lulls where they start jacking up anyway.
Great kick out from Jrue there to Moore
I hated that three from Jrue :hihi:
Yeah, and it's easy to look at how close this game is and say ''oh but the Rockets will regress from 3, they're not going to shoot 45.5% from 3 all game''
And yes, they probably won't, but we aren't going to shoot 43.8% from 3 all game either (mostly likely), so if the regression comes for them it will probably come for us as well.
The fact that you're hitting bad shots doesn't mean that they're suddenly not bad anymore.
Attack the paint.
Good deflection from Ingram
Rivers just leapt 10 feet into Lonzo. Youch.
Loved, loved, loved that pass from Ingram out of the double into Favors.
Great decision.
Pels look like they're just waiting for the Rockets to miss shots. No co-ordinated, consistent effort to force passes and deny shots. Lazy closeouts. No boxouts. Just looking very casual right now.
Whatever.... that was from Lonzo was disgusting and I hate it.
3PT attempt rate has fallen dramatically over the last few minutes for the Pels but unfortunately so has the scoring in general.
Lonzo from way down town!

Damn right it's not.
Nice shot to close the quarter and half there
Score at the half: 64-64.
You can be as pleased as you want about us scoring 64 in the first half, sure.
But you cannot be happy that we shot 50/45/75 in the first half against a Rockets team that has no Harden, no Westbrook, and no Capela, and we're only tied. That's not good enough, tbh.
