Senguin being a turnover machine? Hello SGA is the one with 3 turnovers. Meanwhile 2 of OKC starters still have 0 point at the half.


everyone already knows what okc is. which is why the rockets are the main focus, they dont impressive at all on offense but its only game 1 so they have plenty of time

OKC might legitimately have a shooting problem. Going back to last playoffs, it seems that everyone forgot how to shoot 3s

So even though I have league pass, I can’t watch it because I don’t subscribe to peacock?

OKC misses Jdub. Need someone to drive and put pressure on this defense.

Rockets "looking horrible" and being up 12 against the champs on the road, without a PG, bodes well for the future.

Man, I wish they would just release the whole Jordan interview rather than spreading it out in three minutes chunks. Is there more from him in game 2?

That fact that Caruso is a better defender of Sengun than Chet is odd.

That's noto odd. It's because refs will let Caruso commit murder on bigs

Throw the refs out and Sengun will just ragdoll him followed by 2
