Our team is still very young. We are going to earn some bumps and bruises a long the way!
Wemby gonna figure it out. Coach Mitch will figure it out. Team stepped up against the Lakers. Control lame turnovers Steph. I hate losing against the Rockets! LOL
They need to get WEMBY closer to the basket then get him the ball
Here just to watch and anticipate Spurs to be 0-3
Victor should be 10-15 ft AT MOST from the basket in most possessions. Defenders need to tighten up on the backcuts and PLEAAAAASE YALL PLAY WITH SOME DAMN CONFIDENCE!
Kelly Olynyk’s trek from oldest brother in the band, Hanson to NBA journeyman is a true story of inspiration. On the next 30 for 30: Mmmbop’d: The Kelly Olynyk Story
Teams figured out that putting a wing on Wemby works & the Rockets start a lineup of wings.
Dylan has a good feel for the game!
Cooked city unfortunately, Houston is miles better defensively than suns and lakers. No true PG or back up big = sad spurs fans 🙁
