And people are shocked we are taking more 3s and not getting a ton of rebounds?


Rockets have 11 Off Rebounds. Even without Yak, we can do better than that.

11-0 on the offensive glass is a killer

somehow we have 1 offensive rebound in the last 6 quarters of play, that's got to be a record.

IQ with some Gary Trent Jr tunnel vision on that break. Everything went downhill after that

Ugh, BI pressured, turned it over trying to get the late pass to Mamu.

RJ looked good on that first iso against KD, and the little follow drive, but missed Mamu in the corner. He looks pretty lively at the moment.

BI looks sleepy and a little disjointed. Although that little screen curl thing they did to get him that 3 he missed was nice and will be there a lot.

Unrelated but somehow a physical team like Houston has fouled 5 times tonight

Rj just took more contact om that drive then several of the fouls on Durant or Sengun

on average Raptors are letting opposing teams score 120+ ppg....that's not a winning strategy, and it's on pace to continue this game.

11 teams have allowed 120+ a game so far and Raps play at the highest pace in the league

Stops are hard to come by but rebounds might be even harder. Being so bad at these two aspects will sink this ship fast

Everytime I sit to watch this team we're getting outplayed.

We're so small out there and its getting way to predictable. Who the **** built this team?

Bobby should have been let go along with Masai. We need to be sellers at the deadline.
