How could you whine about that foul. Well at least we are not giving up 90 in the first half.

Pretty amazing we are only down 7, while shooting 40% and 17% from 3.

Why os Chandler playing against that lineup???? OMG, he is embarrassing himself out there.

That is something that I do not like about Triano, he is too much old school about positions.

If they are playing Tucker at C play with another perimeter player or Monroe than can pay him inside.

Looking better than I thought we would. 4 guys with 3 fouls though, including both of our power forwards.

Josh shooting really bad so far, at least he hit the free throws though :lol:

Came in here to complain about the Rockets annoucers. Glad I'm not alone.

We probably didn't feel comfortable putting Bender or Quese out there with 3 fouls

It's crazy that we have 17 fouls at the half and they still complain for another one every possession lol.

Who cares? Put Canaan, they are playing without PF or C.

Devin doesnt look like a primary ballhandler to me.
People are doubling him every time and he still has trouble to find someone open.

I guess his shooting will always overtake his passing, so Point Booker not going to work.

I had to turn the volume off, I couldn’t stand them.

We play too slow with Book at point. He walks it up every time.

Daniels then. :lol:

They have got that small advantage with this small ball lineup. Match up with them Triano or put Monroe.

We are playing a solid game so far, I do not expect a win at all but I want to stay in the game until the end.

Our guys don’t move well without the ball. I keep seeing guys go behind their man instead of in front, with their hands ready for a pass. If guys can make smart cuts, then it will be easier for Booker to find them and make the right pass. I like them trying Booker at point, why not during this season?

Yeah, he is thinking too much about the sets.

I know I’m probably in the minority, but I like Monroe. If we take a point guard in the draft with our pick, I’d like to keep Monroe and let Len walk.

They're camping at the rim because they know Booker isnt ready yet to make a weakside pass.
doulbling him on every PNR, rotate for the big man = open 3 in every possession.
this isnt happening because dbook is holding the ball too much OR he cant see the whole floor yet.
being a primary ballhandler is a whole different monster

That's where Doncic being primary ball handler would be crazy good. The way he sees the floor is insane.
