Shead should be going under all those Amen screens

Except guard LOL

Defensive possessions like that make no sense. Shead literally has one job defensively lol and he's just dying on the screen

They're outrebounding us by 15 and still down 2. Works both ways

Because we should be up 20 with our shooting right now.

60% 3pt shooting isn't sustainable....on average it will be half of that, so Raptors would actually be getting blown out

Well, we probably won't stay at 0 offensive rebounds either. Though, we only had 1 last game so who knows lol

Can't watch the rest of the game but I'd be pleasantly surprised if we pull it out and win.

I have to assume these doubles in the block are scheme because everyone's doing it, regardless of who the offensive player is or who's guarding them. And I don't like it.

Man Ingram can score the ball when hes on and CMB might be my one of my favorite rookies in a while

PushDaRock · Post #232 » by **PushDaRock** » Wed Oct 29, 2025 11:38 pm

Can confidently say we definitely aren't as offensively challenged as we were last season. We might be closer to average but that's a big step up from bottom 5.

Erm no it doesnt. Thats the reason why we arent up 20. Bad defense.

Horrible take from quickly

Post #236 » by **tsherkin** » Wed Oct 29, 2025 11:39 pm

Okay. I'm poking my head in now. It's going far better than I expected. Our starters are going bonkers on O. I wonder how long that will last?

And on average Houston isn’t grabbing 10 offensive boards or hitting a half court shot
