    Their team is freaking long. Feels like everyone other than Sheppard is at least 6 ft 6 with a 7 foot wing span.

    They're athletic, long and physical. But they lack a PG to get them into spots to utilise that athleticism... I can see them having issues in the playoffs as the game slows down and execution matters a ton. For much of the regular season they're just used to out hustling teams, thriving on second chance opportunities and transition scoring. I think they'll be quick work for teams that can slow them down and stop those second chance opportunities - Spurs should dice them up for example.

    I'm not sure how well we will do, the next game will be a nice barometer as it's got that playoff back to back feel. Never easy to beat an NBA team twice in a row.

    Have to say, this has been one of the better 2 week periods since at least 2020.

    Another win against a good team

    Lakers win the 3rd 32-23

    Go cold in the 4th with 17 pts, but Rockets colder with 12 pts

    We shot 24% from the 3 line

    Rockets 19%

    How often is that going to happen?

    Role players

    Smart 11 pts 1 ast

    DA 7 pts 11 reb 1 stl 1 blk

    Jake 7 pts 4 reb 3 stl
