    I still remember Dusty.

    Wasted f***ing opportunity, and it enabled Dallas to celebrate.

    No doubt, I am not worried about him not improving there or with the 3 ball. I was generally curious where I could look it up though.

    Prior to tonight’s game he is 67.6% from the FT line in “clutch” situations.

    Jabari has the worst +/- on the court

    The Clippers ran an offensive clinic in the 4th. When Harden and Kawhi are both on their game at the same time, it’s almost impossible to defend.

    He’s not a SF he’s a PF - Clippers don’t have a PF … so he either on Kawhi or PG .. pick your poison, and he can’t touch them cause it’s a foul …

    Yeah people are way too harsh on this team tonight, especially on a b2b.

    Kawhi is on like that no one can defend him. He did this same **** to prime Lebron. When he turns it on the only way to beat his team is have another superstar to match him because he'll literally make every shot. Didn't help that Harden started to get others involved and our guys just fell apart.

    On the bright side Sengun's been unbelievable these past two games. Triple double baby!

    Out of all the NBA centers only Sabonis and Jokic have had 14 or more assists this season.

    You know most team has that offensive microwave to help you catch up when your team is down by 6 or 8. Only play who can do that for us is Cam and he is still too raw. Clippers have three who can heat up quickly and get you 10 points in few mins so that was the game, can’t win much if we don’t have three pointers to keep extending the lead

    At the end of the day they just give it to their stars and they just calmly scores on every possession out of nothing. We can't even get into an offensive set until 7 seconds left on the shot clock.

    The play that Sengun got blocked and we were 5v4 kinda ended the game.

    So many Rockets came up small in those last 2-3 minutes.
    Alpi, Jabari, Jalen.
    I am soo bummed!

    First thing they need to do is to FORBID him to sit there and talk to the ball for 8 seconds and force him to speed up his internal clock to be able to build a rhythm.

    10/17 from the FT line...all that fancy other shat and you step to the line and hit 58%...compound that with the Clips getting 9 more FT and that's a prescription for a loss. Stopped sharing the ball 2nd half like we had been in the 1st.

    Rockets are just horrible reading who to feed… and drives me nuts .. Bari needs some Cam in him but he plays the game the “right way”

    From 20 pts lead to 6 pts loss.
