San Antonio might be the luckiest franchise OAT
Breezy@BMaagicc
Time for the Wizards to land a transformational player 🧙🏾♂️

@ThunderChats @BiasedHouston + I know Ime wouldn’t play Reed a second for the series

@BiasedHouston How you feel about how you match up with Denver?
English
Rooting interest for today:
- Denver beats San Antonio
OR
- Utah beats LA Lakers
Either scenario locks the Rockets into the Lakers in round 1 of the playoffs.
A Denver loss to accompany a LA Lakers win will result in the Rockets playing the Nuggets in round 1 of the playoffs

@OmarT244 @RooshWilliams The reason Shannon was feeling it in the fourth was because he got three WIDE open threes in the first half. We allowed them to get hot.
English
@Ianmac234 @RooshWilliams Defense wasn't terrible. Minnesota was on one tonight; that's what happens in sports. You win, some lose some, but you can at least respect; they fought hard to the end, Shannon Jr ain't Klay Thompson.
English
@BiasedHouston This was the one night that this wasn’t the concern. We scored 132 points!!! That’s amazing! Our defense didn’t do anything
English
Like I sound like a broken record, so many of our losses look like this. We simply lose the math game.
ᵂᴵᴸᴸ@BiasedHouston
Rockets shot 4/18 from 3. Wolves shot 15/30 from 3. Get me role players who can shoot 3’s around Amen-Sengun-KD this offseason.
English
@RooshWilliams That’s my concern. We did nothing to at least make it difficult. Just simple screen and rolls for them that led to layups or wide open threes. At that point they are feeling it so then they’ll hit the tougher shots
English
@Ianmac234 Guys I’ve never heard of had career nights hitting wild shots. Was an awful display of defense, but I’m hoping it’s just an outlier. Although I do think facing the injured version of LA could look something similar to this…

You score 132 points and lose? Not sure that's just the math problem. That's a defense problem.
English
@BiasedHouston We scored 130 points. The offense wasn’t the issue. We allowed straight line drives all night
English
This is also why I say, I kind of don’t care about what our role players shoot from 2PT.
We lose the math game because we’re
building a team around Amen/Sengun who aren’t going to take threes. EVERYONE ELSE HAS to be elite shooters on volume.
ᵂᴵᴸᴸ@BiasedHouston
I don’t want the Rockets to pick up any player this offseason unless they’re shooting 39% of more from 3 on real volume. I am so tired of our losses being attributed to 3PT volume and percentage.
English
Of course Steph plays against us and goes ballistic, but misses the one game I need the Warriors to win.
English
One thing about Reed not closing: He gained VALUABLE experience watching how Aaron was holding his own on both ends of the floor tonight. Reed wasn’t bad by any means, but if he matches what Aaron did tonight, skies the limit come playoff time.
English
@statmuse Balled out in the second half. Got to give him that.
English
@RooshWilliams Back to back games where they showed true resilience. Such encouraging stuff
English
@RooshWilliams And they could’ve folded with the Steph Avalanche. Stuck together and got an excellent shot at the end + good defense
English
The Rockets could’ve rolled over and quit after blowing late leads in back-to-back losses to Chicago and Minnesota, but they’ve responded by winning 6 in a row and playing some of their best basketball since December. Encouraging to see them display legit mental toughness.

@BiasedHouston They hit shots but I didn’t think the defense was good in the second half. They got such easy penetration that led to kick out threes then an OREB if they missed. 67 points in the last 20 minutes of the game
English
@ByVarunShankar Can you please ask Ime why he didn’t use one of his two timeouts after the missed free throw that almost turned into a three after the turnover
English
Closer than you'd like but Houston looks like it'll win its fourth straight game
