  5. Jalen is using so many possessions, in fact more than anybody, and wastes most of them. His free throw % is less than that of even Alpi's. If he had been around 10% more efficient, Rockets would win most of the games.

  8. Effort and focus gets my game ball. I lost count of 24sec clamps. Good job by Ime also. A few guys left half their body weight in sweat on that floor, fingers crossed going into SA in 5 hours.

  9. Fred getting the 4th fault early was the blessing in disguise. He neither had the size or speed to contain Ja who had 15 pts in the first quarter. More athletic guys including Cam did a much better job containing Ja.

  10. Why isn’t anyone talking about Jabari's improvement in lateral defense? Even when he got beat, he didn’t look stuck in the mud. You can tell he put in serious work over the summer.

  11. Finally Ime is getting Jabari out that corner so he can play Big aka getting put backs,rebounds he definitely need to work on a Midrange game plus the Shepherd started attacking with the dribble

  12. Sorry..
    But i only see team average defence and sacrifice of Alpi..
    Screening , rebounding, less shooting, and fighting withdouble or tripple defence without any help and motionless offense..
    I think its intentional..
    Jalen only efective if he finds his rhythm.. Last match it worked 1 quarter..
    All the team shooting rate crawl on the ground..
    I did not see Any Coaching staff..
    Offense variations..
    Shooting priorities..
    Clutch time game plans..
    Starting game plans..
    Foul troubling plans..
    Leadership uncertainties..
    Anyway the Sacrifice of Alpi bring in 3-5 match, the while Coaches must find real solutions, it should not go tike this.
    I wanna see Alpi and Jalen and others being team up and lift each other up..
