Sengun is not getting much love from the refs. Clear push in the back there missed, then he’s called (legit foul though).

Green’s confidence is not great atm, riding the pine in crunch time.

These last 5 minutes of this wolves game has been complete slop.

That's the 3rd time Lillard has sat for defense in the 4th quarter in the last few games.

Doc Rivers has been coaching. Not like most NBA coaches who defer to stars.

Sent from my SM-N960U using RealGM mobile app

To be fair, Doc doesn't have a lot to work with off the bench. And the Bucks still won, and climbing up the rankings.

He is finally getting results, the Bucks season back on track. Wins and losses is ultimately what matters.

Doc is judged way too harshly here and in the Hoops community in general imo

Randal is kinda messing the wolves up on offense. No?

People not familiar with Sengun might not realize how secretly gifted he is. Not in terms of linear athleticism, but his eye/hand, core strength and unreal flexibility (you have to see his stretching routine to believe it, guy is rubber) make him a challenge.

Lebron's been playing so long he has more career rebounds than Ben Wallace, Bill Laimbeer, Andre Drummond, Tyson Chandler, Zach Randolph, and David Robinson.

Looked like Sengun broke the play on that one, he was like, nah coach, I got this

That was clearly a foul by Brooks. Make-up call?

That behind the back Gumby layup was crazy

Rockets callers on the laughing gas

Another triple dub for Alpie.

Far out, the 2021 rookie draft is starting to absolutely produce All NBA (not just All star) talent from that draft class.

Looks like being an all time great draft class.

I promise I would say this even if MIN won, but I apologize for this comment. I was just being paranoid. This was a well-reffed game overall.

Unless Ume saw something I didn’t that should have been a challenge.

Kessler block on Wemby looks clean. Challenging the foul call.

Damn Wemby.. behind the back

LAvision · Post #115 » by **LAvision** » Wed Nov 27, 2024 3:29 am

Wemby might go for 50 tonight.

Bradley Beal hasn't been the same since his wife was caught flirting with Harden.

Houston's crunch time lineup has been extremely fluid this year. Sengun has sat, too.

This was 1000% the right five. I almost commented exactly that at the OT jump ball.

Rockets got something here. Bad games from Eason and Jalen Green and still get the road dub. Jabari, Alpie, FVV, Brooks and Amen came up big. Team has so many weapons.

He’s been moving away from JG in crunch time for a few games now. Which is a frustrating development because earlier in the year he was clutch even in cold games. But he’s just not right atm, he made real changes in the offseason and was showing that early on, hot or cold, but lately when he struggles he reverts to his old form. Defence stays though, gotta give him that.

Who wins?
