Nice win.

VC to KP and White. They both played really well.

After Tatum and Brown cost us the game vs the Nuggets, you would think they would bounce back against an average team. But they were both bad ahead. Brown shot 6-14 and Carmelo was 4-17. Brown was really good outside of the shooting, with 11 rebounds and a career high 10 assists, I believe the 10 assists were a career high.

Props to Pritchard and Kornet off the bench. They were good. Brissett was solid.

Not a good coaching game by Joe and he wouldn't call a timeout again with the Rockets making a run the in 4th and making it a 93-90 game, before he calls a time out.

Hauser: 6/1 A/TO, along w/ 7 rebounds, 1 steal, 1 block.
For one game, the Gordon Hayward comparison actually makes sense. :)

Luke: 5 OR in 23 minutes, and none were from his own misses, because once again he didn't miss any shots. 3 blocks too. That's a Timelord kind of stat line.

KP: 5 blocks, and that was being selective about what he challenged amidst the 5 fouls for which he was whistled.

And by the way -- if there ever was a scheduled home loss, this was one for Houston.

Every late game situation we have, it's Tatum ISO :D .. not that this was the case in tonight's game, but I just wanted to point out how predictable our offense is in late game scenarios.
We have so many weapons, ball should be moving non stop... Kristaps and White with the casual 53 pts to lead us to the victory with Brown and Tatum having off-night..
Good assessment:

Tatum with 4 made shots in 35mins???
Lol. He’s just too weak mentally. He needs to improve on his shot making and ball control. A little bump, and he losses control and just throws the ball in the hoop with little chance of going in. Then he complains of a no foul call, and it gets in his head ruining his game. We won’t win it all with JT playing like this. He does this every other game in the playoffs. I don’t think you can fix a weak mentality.

This C's team has a 15 year window. It doesn't matter what happens in June. JT and JB are only 25 and 26 (27*). Jordan didn't win a title until he was 28

This was stupid good. End quarters right. Can we go away from the last second sidestep three to end Qs?

I think Brissett has really solidified himself in the top 10 here now.

If he can get his shot up to 36-37% he should be a lock for regular minutes.He does a lot of Derrick white type things out there....jsut the hustle plays, energy, etc.

Yup. If we still playing in june, then JT probably stepped up his game. If he’s gonna be this inconsistent 3pt chucker every other game, then, a conf finals loss is more likely.

I didn't even notice JB's triple double until this morning lol. He was forcing his offense all night and sucking in the department but good on him for setting up his teammates and doing other things.

I went with KP and Brown. I don't hate the "Triple Double" version of JB (+3 Steals in 31 minutes). 6 for 14 isn't great and he missed some free throws, but overall I almost prefer it.
