The whistles aren’t as friendly for OKC as before.

Reed has had a few good offensive possessions in a row. Still a cone on defense though

Rockets could use another quality guard on their roster. See if they make a move for one soon.

The whole Rockets team must have been training free throws the entire off season...

I don't know if this was mentioned but if you have peacock watch the game there. It is 1080p HDR.

Between ESPN offering 1080 for some games and having less games this year and Amazon and nbc having the games in HDR 1080p I like the picture quality with the new deal. If we keep the 4k feed on nba TV on YTTV we are all set

The life of an NBA refs. The guy you called a foul for is yelling at you as well as the guy who you called the foul against :lol:

Nice late double by KD.

Houston has some rough offensive players.

Tari forcing up bad shots with KD on the court is something else.

Reed’s defensive problem’s aren’t about size or athleticism, he just has bad instincts.

Rockets miss my boy Cam Whitmore, and you know it's true :lol:

I see at least 14 players that are easily better thus far imo

I keep thinking both of these teams are struggling on offense and then I realize that they're probably the two best defensive teams in the league... no wonder they're struggling on offense.

Can Houston be taken seriously with Eason and Sheppard getting real minutes? No.

only 2 FTAs for SGA and it was off a challenge. Silver saw the ratings for last years finals and put the refs on notice

Sengun improved his 3pt shot from the looks of it.

Who wins the big opening night games?
