The good news is the Cs are passing the ball.

But the Cs are not getting the foul calls.

The Rockets look like the Celtics in Milwaukee that got blown out.

They're clearly tired after that OT win yesterday.

JT now not settling for pull up 3s.

He's now driving instead of pulling up for 3s in iso situations.

It is the reason he doesn't get a lot of calls. He is playing for the foul but he makes it too obvious.

In half of those, he feels the contact but refs just don't give him calls the way they do other stars.

Bummer Jrue is out tonight. Would have been cool for him and his brother to both start and play against each other.
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

Yeah, JT is getting contact, but the refs are just not calling it.

Haven't learned from losses to Warriors and Heat in two past postseasons.

Maybe Tatum was trying to pass to himself off the backboard.
