Bad closing stretch for the Rockets, but they weren’t at full strength for a tough game.

Gave that one away. Van Fleet was horrible down the stretch. Don’t know how Green doesn’t even touch the ball on the final two possessions.

Yeah, I was seriously frustrated with those last two possessions.

2 much Brunson late for Rockets tonight.
Another big night from Amen.
25 pts/11 Rebs/ 11 asts.

Yes but down 2 late in the game , Amen committed a bad turnover w him being the playmaker. Should have been Green w ball imo at the stage.

Lead the entire 2nd Half w exception of few mins. Same as Memphis gm. 2 bad L’s.

Still find it hilarious how everyone said James Harden was ruining the game with all his flopping. But when Brunson and Luka do it, they’re incredible players. Brunson’s flopping last night blew Harden’s out of the water. :roll_eyes:

TNT exec says cutting NBA was ‘great decision’

Almost as good of a decision as trading Luka.

That was a great decision by the league lol

Rockets clinch home court advantage in the first round by beating Warriors in San Francisco. They held Curry to 3 points on 1-10 shooting.

The only time I, and probably most everyone else watches TNT is for NBA games. When the NBA goes, TNT will fade deeper into oblivion than it already is.

It all starts with good defense, which is rare in the NBA
.still have some nice draft assets coming up.

Amen is a future superstar.

Looks like they will hold on to the #2 seed after victories over OKC and at Golden St.

They have exceeded my expectations ten fold

would love for them to go a couple rounds in the playoffs.

You knew Ime Udoka was going to make his team play D
 Dillon Brooks puts the other team’s best scorer on lock consistently.

Great defensive team. D Brooks is great and brings that dawg mentality to the team, but I think I might like Amen even more on defense. He is just so long and bouncy. Loved how he locked up Tyler Hero the next time he played him after they had their little scuffle. That being said I love them both.
