    I commented last game I'm not sure a single good thing has come from giving him the ball in traffic.

    What makes that play worse was Reed was wide open on the perimeter waiting for the ball.

    OK, it's a combination but most of it is definitely on Alpi. He makes himself a small target.

    Tari, Amen, and Reed have been great today. Maybe play all three together a bit more.

    Watch Reed end up on the bench after that timeout from Ime.

    If the Rockets had a coach to teach them to run an offense.... any offense..... this team would be special

    Sticky?

    More like the big men can't catch the ball properly.

    Random thought

    can Stone add a 10,000 per game bonus for every game Sengun does not shoot a three?

    That bucket was all Reed Shepperd aggressively attacking the ball handler defensively.

    Won't ever show up in the stats for him though. Love it.

    Harden highlight before the break… I miss Jim. I hope we can get him back.

    It's been this way his entire career. When he was a rookie at OKC, it was unreal how often opponents would knock the ball out of his hands after he secured a rebound.

    Who but butters on Adam’s hand? He can hold on to the ball at all and getting out rebounded

    Maybe he should give Ime a $100,000 bonus for every game where he puts Sengun in the post more than he does on the perimeter?

    Maybe a 10,000 per game bonus for each game he keeps an assist to TO ratio of 3-1

    Why though when you can stand around until you take a contested shot or turn it over?

    That highlight also hit me in the feels, maybe Harden is the key to a championship formula....
