awesome fucking win.  i thought they were toast late in the fourth quarter.  ballsy effort to get that one back after giving it away.

Same. I thought they ran out of gas, especially after blowing a big lead. Awesome sign seeing them gut it out down the stretch on the road against a good team.

The two biggest plays of the game were Amen Thompson's steal and layup tying the game and the 3 in OT to tie the game. The Rockets had had 3 bad OT possessions before Amen knocked down that 3, and the Rockets added the next 8 points on top of it for an 11-0 run to put the game away.

The obvious core is Sengun, Thompson, Eason, and Smith. Need more playing time for Reed to see if he can add to it.

Love the veteran play of Van Vleet, Brooks, and when available Adams.

After slow starts, Brooks is over 40% and Smith is at 34.5% and going up.

The defensive ability of Sengun, Brooks, Thompson, Smith, and Eason is the driving force behind this record. We need one more shooter in the rotation and we are cooking with serious gas.

Look if we go 54-28 and Green is 3-11 for 14 points 3 out of 4 games and is 14-22 for 35 in the 4th and the team is cool with it, I’ll take it.  
 

I was all about a 2-1 or 3-1 trade but now I’m not sure what kind of (realistic) trade makes us better than Boston or OKC (with Chet) so why not try to do it with what we got?

So looking at the statistics, rookie Jalen Green appears to be a more efficient player than 4th year vet Jalen Green.  For those of y’all more able to watch the games, is there some performance improvements you see that are missed by looking at the stats?

He tries to pay defense and doesn't get the ball every play.

Again no.

We need to preparing a huge offer for Anthony Edwards. Starting with Green and most of the Phoenix picks, and salary filler to match. He's pissed with the losing in Minnesota. He's the exact guard we need on this team to take us to the upper echleon of the Western Conference, especially if we can keep our core of Sengun, Smith, Thompson, and Eason.

Van Vleet, Edwards, Brooks, Smith, Sengun, Eason, and Thompson would be a lethal rotation to deal with in the playoffs.
