PG Rockets - Win!!!

[ReddoverKobe]

So why was AJJ benched?

[Chad34]

We needed that win in the worst way, but for the team’s highest potential, they need to trade dame and Bobby. I don’t think we can go deep with the lack of defense they bring. Am I missing something? Would they ever consider trading dame?

[Magic Giannison]

I don't know if Giannis got the switch wrong or AJax was asleep. But if it's the former (which seems likely as there wasn't a reason for Giannis to switch off of Sengun there), AJax was really smart for noticing and recovering.

I think they were suppose to switch , if you look after the game ended Giannis makes a move to someone to come in, dunno.


From what it looked is that Giannis switched to guard a shooter?

It was so weird, beginning i thought Giannis got pushed lmao

[-Jragon-]

Yeah though.. great shot AJG.. so much better than Pat taking that.

Giannis was sloppy but big block

Dame was slicing through like cheese but not hitting the easy 2s but got the game winning one... we're lucky they were missing though

[Milbucks96]

It was ugly but still best win of the season. Need to go on a streak here the next couple games.

[-Jragon-]

Ohh yeah and without Brook we aren't even in it

[mke_design]

Man, people gotta chill on the lucky stuff. We have been the opposite of lucky going on 3 straight. The Rockets got bail out after bail out and they fumbled the bag on a great force of a bad pass.

[German Athens]

Haven’t watched the replay yet, but why did Gary and Green both go to the same guy in the corner. It then left Giannis to try to cover both Sengun and Jalen.

[-Jragon-]

Bobby is rough tho

[rilamann]

Of course no shove on Sengun but we take those.

Should've called a hook if they were going to call anything but no call was right and there was no push. Giannis was running towards the 3 point line, which is really the story, like how is the communication so bad that you have your best interior defender running towards the 3 point line and nobody sinking down to the paint to cover the space.

If you wanted to show someone 1 play why we are 5-9. The miscommunication on that play would explain a lot.

We got away with it because Sengun couldn't handle the pass, but that was hilariously bad.

True

[Wooderson]

Of course no shove on Sengun but we take those.

I also thought it was a shove initially, but the replay makes it seem like Giannis literally just runs in the other direction. Luckily the pass was awful.

He ran out because Green and Trent both chased the dude in the corner. Obviously Giannis can't leave Segun unless he knows AJJ has his backside but that play was **** by the guards and someone was gonna be wide open no matter what

[Chad34]

The officials are in shambles.

Probably the most true statement of the night

Frank Madden just put up the stat that Dame is 1 for his last 18 from three. Jesus. Our team is fully cursed in ruining people's 3 point stroke.

He was 6 for 12 from 2 and he attack the rim mor He needs to o that more

[Wooderson]

Green and Trent exposed the defense by chasing the same dude to the corner. Someone was gonna be wide open but obviously Giannis made the wrong decision unless he knew AJJ would cover him.

[Frank Nova]

Won’t call it a good win but a much needed win none the less. Should be 4 in a row but 3 out of 4 is still a step in the right direction.

[tsamo]

Holy crap, just noticed that in Giannis' last block in Sengun, when Lopez gives him the ball he's out of bounds !
Guess the refs thought they'd give us a freebie after the last two games, lol.

[yb90]

The post game say there was no reason to switch but Green is wide open. I guess you just leave Green open though because Sengun is right at the basket.

Haslem had a smart thought of having Lopez in to defend the pass from out of bounds. That way you have Prince size out there playing over Dairy. I like Green's on ball defense but he does get lost at times switching.

Zach Harper was saying that AJ Green screwed up the switch and it just cascaded from there and Giannis had to make a call between covering Jalen Green and covering Sengun. If that's true, Giannis made the wrong call.
