Anybody using the Peacock app? Online it says rewind should be possible, but it doesn’t rewind for me, so I was curious how it functions for others.

just tried... nope. Only have a pause option

I don’t even have the pause option. I’m watching through Xbox. I wonder if that plays into it. Hopefully Peacock modifies these options sooner rather than later.

Reed is a solid prospect but he is not ready for this role on a team with championship aspirations

[Wolfgang630]

Reggie is right. Sengun is doing jack ****. Back your guy down instead of passing always

[Wallace_Wallace]

Where's the boo's for Adams????

OKC loves Steven Adams

Universally loved and universally feared

[cjx]

Chet is on pace for the best start in nba history

1 fried Buffalo lobster tail, 1 fried Buffalo chicken tender, 1 Nashville hot mozzarella stick with blue cheese and chipotle aioli between 2 waffles. What do you think, my erudite friend?

Sounds amazing. What is buffalo losbster tail?

A fried lobster tail rolled in Buffalo (wing) sauce, my friend

OKC only down 3 and SGA only has 3 pts.

[peZt]

Rocketd desperately need a PG, are really bad creating in the half court. And are still up. What a shame with the FVV injury…

Really?

No, was j/k

I'm on an apple tv. Just tested again and I can rewind as long as the game is on. I only get a pause option during commercial breaks. Strange.

He could be useful as a off ball SG who comes off screens, gets open 3 looks and runs an occasional Pnr. But he is clearly not a PG. this FVV injury really ficked them

[Muskies97]

This Rockets offensive rebounding ability is looking crazy. OKC is not an easy team to dominate on the glass either

[HardenGoat]

I think Rockets need about 20 games for Udoka to figure out the roles, rotations, and get some play sets ironed in.

[Wallace_Wallace]

OKC only down 3 and SGA only has 3 pts.

Things don’t always work that way. Chet already has 18 points, but it doesn’t actually mean he’ll stop scoring or he’ll keep going while SGA potentially explodes in the 2nd half.

I'm not sure he can even do that tbh. His teammates are trying really hard to cover for him on defense. That last Mitchell three was given up because Durant went to help Reed in the paint.

[Shock Defeat]

if OKC can't beat Houston, who can?

[TroubleS0me]

Sigh..this would have been a TNT game. Gonna miss the overtime option now to watch games.

He should be taking a corner on most plays after getting the ball down. They had Eason and Amen in the corner. Leave Jabari on the other corner.

The Rockets would be competitive on size alone. No matter how silly the shots look, with Sengun/Adams/Capela they can grab offensive rebounds almost every time.

And also, Reed Shepherd can probably get traded after this game. Good thing he could shoot a little bit, he has no awareness on both sides of the court

yeah if it was just his defense that would be one thing, but he's also a complete black hole on offense. moves the ball even less than KD

[Jailblazers7]

I think we should be patient with Sheppard. This is his first experience being in the main rotation, the Rockets are still integrating KD, and he was abruptly thrust into a larger role because of the FVV injury. I don’t expect him to have it all figured out in game 1.
