    The just illustrates how pathetic the Rockets were shooting the ball. KD was the only volume shooter who wasn't terrible.

    that was quite possibly the worst Rockets game I ever watched, in terms of "watchability." Truly awful.

    and we had 14 steals to their 6... 14 turnovers to their 18

    our shooting sucked and we got blocked 11 times (to 2)

    It’s also Crazy to have 4 main players (Sengun, Amen, Smith, Reed) go 13 for 51 and only lose by 4

    I mean when Amen, Smith & The 2nd coming of Dirk all shot under 30% you’re probably going to lose.

    So Okogie looks like Tari shapeshifting to Harden.

    10 players fouled out (or should have).

    It was a weird game. I don't know what to think of it.

    No way Ime doesn't make lineup changes, right? Put at least a guard in the starting lineup.

    or maybe Pistons were deliberate in their extra physicality, intentionally fouling to get the rockets off their offensive rhythym and dare KD to beat them by himself

    Udoka and JB are a couple of the worst offensive coaches in the league, I wasn't surprised.

    We also grabbed more offensive rebounds than the Pistons, despite playing a lot of zone defense.

    We won the possession game. We won the free throw game. And we still lost.

    How did Detroit attempt more 2 pointers and 3 pointers actually by a lot if the Rox won the poss. game?

    For the other side to win it, it had to be close and them winning the def rebounding battle, they had to win something.

    And they did.

    Also 25 team assists to 16....shot much better accuracy than the Rockets.
