And after review it was upgraded.


This is why people think the NBA is rigged at times. That's a foul but there's no way you can look at that multiple times and see flagrant 2

How does Philly put in Brisket, who clearly doesn't know how to box out?

FVV's flop was more flagrant than the foul. He got ball and body. It was just a foul.

Even with a team of scrubs, how can you blow an 8 point lead with 1:04 left?

Sengun gest a old fashioned 3 point play, Rockets have first lead of the game at 134-131.

Quentin Grimes might be the best player in the NBA

If yall missed it, The Heat-Knicks game was delayed because Tracy Jordan Morgan puked all over the court.

Holiday crossing over like Crawford there.

That Sengun spin was nasty.

102 combined three-point attempts
53 for the Rockets
49 for the Sixers

Somewhere, Bill Russell and Willis Reed are rolling over in their graves.

Listening to the radio broadcast. Matt Thomas and Clanton on the post game call, while talking to Dillon Brooks

MT: DB, I don't smoke, but I need a cigarette after that game!

DB: bruh, get you some weed!

Makes me wonder what the NBA record is for "highest score when first taking the lead" in a game. Rockets never led until 134-131.

Been a long time since I did any scoreboard watching in the NBA, but here I am.

Pacers nip T-Wolves in OT 132-130..
Denver up 12 on Golden State even without Jokic
Sacramento up 8 early 3Q on Memphis
Lakers up 12 on Spurs approaching halftime.

Current look at 1-8 (with Rockets and T-Wolves updated)

OKC 56-12
Houston 44-25
Denver 43-25
Memphis 43-25
LAL 41-25
GS 39-28
MINN 40-30
LAC 38-30

Memphis drops one to Sac

Nuggets puckered up when GS closed the lead to 3, but they are putting some distance in it and it appears will win (and hold their tie with us)

Denver wins on the road without Jokic or Murray.

Today's sunrise finds Houston and Denver tied for 2nd/3rd, a game up on the Lakers and Grizz.. Sacramento gets above .500 after trading Fox to the Spurs, and is 10-9 without him.
Talk about a crappy remaining schedule: Kings have left with 2 more games vs. Cavs, plus game with OKC, Boston, Milwaukee, Orlando, Denver and the Clippers.

13 left with 6 big ones:

1 Thunder
2 Lakers
2 Nuggets
1 Warriors

Last night's game was big. Gotta keep beating the teams we are suppose to. If we go 3-3 against the above and, say 5-2 against the rest we finish 52-30. That should be our floor tbh. I would like to see us get to 55, but we will have to stay hot and finish 11 and 2 to do so.

Jalen Green with 13 assists last night. I think that was a career high.

He was the primary ball handler after Fred got tossed and did a pretty good job in overtime with it.

Jabari Smith was excellent as well. 30 points off the bench and really looked like a man out there for once, lots of poise. Granted, they were playing the Philadelphia 76ers sans every guy you've ever heard of, but it was a desperate situation and he stepped up big.

I've really like what Jabari has been doing this year. His shooting has been really good from all over the court. I also think the double big really opens up his game when he gets shifted down to the 3. He gets tons of great looks against shorter guys.

If Rockets can win at Orlando tonight, they'll at least gain a game on either the Lakers or Denver as those two play each other in LA.

Keep an eye on Philly at OKC. Maybe Grimes can score 70 tonight.

Rockets surge from 9th to 4th in latest ESPN power rankings out today.

Next 4 games are @ Orlando, @ Miami (Friday), home for Denver (Sunday), home for Atlanta (next Tuesday)
