Amen Thompson has some scary potential

The guy is a freak athlete

[Marvin Martian]

Amen is getting wasted playing zone defensively

Exactly. Isn't Amen's job to mug the leading scorer? I haven't seen that yet any Steph treatment.

With FVV out, Amen is more important on offense and can't afford to waste fouls and energy as he could before

[Indomitable]

this is the crispiest 4k basketball feed I've ever seen. NBC putting ABC/ESPN to shame.

They were the best back in the day

[Indomitable]

You can vote both teams?

[WintaSoldier1]

0-0.


I got OKC over Houston tonight. Too much movement everytime they get into the PNR, Houston often blitzes and it becomes 4 on 3 basketball which OKC is just too good at. Houston not generating any real offense aside from bully ball, and defensive transition points. I got OKC

[Wallace_Wallace]

I forgot Capela is also back on the Rockets too. Damn this Rockets’ team is tall as a MF

[Jailblazers7]

Reed Sheppard looking like food out there

[peZt]

If the rockets still had FVV, they’d win it all. So damn talented and deep

Also, is it my just my iptv or Is the NBC feed super zoomed in?

[GeorgeSears]

Reed Shephard is getting torched by everyone.

The Rockets look terrible in the half court without a true PG.

[G R E Y]

Rox imposing the OKC D on OKC. Interesting.

[Darth Magic]

Is that a foul?

[Marvin Martian]

Sheppard is going to get killed on defense

100% They actually taught the game back then too. NBA Inside Stuff was a great watch as a kid.

Looked like SGA went down untouched unless hd tripped before going down

[CelticSooner]

Incredible the difference a good presentation can have on how hyped you feel going into a matchup. God, I can't believe we were forced to endure ESPN as long as we have.

You can't call yourself the worldwide leader and be so lazy on everything around the sport you are covering.

[Bank Shot]

Rockets are so light on ball handlers. That FVV injury was killer.

[cupcakesnake]

Amen might be the Rockets #1, KD is #2

The hope has to be both Amen and Sengun eclipsing Durant asap (but not due to KD decline).

[cupcakesnake]

Sengun vs Holmgren is the key matchup tonight. I have a feeling Holmgren might tired battle Sengun’s low post game by the 4th.

OKC is BIG with iHart and Chet. Houston is even BIGGER with Adams and Sengun.
Usually it's easier for OKC to dictate matchups in the frontcourt. Houston feels like they might have a functional matchup advantage. Though the problem is bigger on the other end for Houston, because those guys can't guard Chet.

It’s definitely a huge contrast in offensive play between Sengun and Holmgren, so far they’re both feeling each other’s presence with one’s quickness and other’s physicality.

Either way, great season opener thus far.

This first quarter is dope.

[GeorgeSears]

The Rockets look disastrous without a PG.
