Pounding the Under 195.5 on this one, both teams’ defense has been impressive so far

They do well in the double big lineups especially in the paint and second chance points.
I assume yes. The only one I'm not 100% sure on is Eason.

More for rebounding. Guards have to cut him off

No, not really. I guess you had to be alive and watching to get it. There’s a reason why the average Joe tuned in more back then.

Rockets got three guys out there who cant shoot.
Raul
“The other day I saw one of his games. He was running with the ball at a hundred per cent full speed, I don’t know how many touches he took, maybe five or six, but the ball was glued to his foot. It’s practically impossible.”

that was off Sengun.

I think their best option is Vanvleet closing games and second is Sengun

Obviously off Sengun, forcing Kerr to burn a challenge

Udoka gotta scrap this two big lineup. Especially when you have Amen out there. Spacing is ****.
