Nemby couldn't find his shot last night and Huff struggled on defense but I thought the team played well together. Mathurin played a different kind of game for him impressive assists and more complete, Nesmith continues to contribute, he's been great, Siakam made big shots, Walker had his moments, and the team looked in tune and on time with each other but everyone on the Rockets is a knuckle dragging rebounding machine. They must search out players with long arms π§ Great point Tony,
We missed Tony Bradley last night for sure.
As the deadline approaches, I wonder if the injury history of Nesmith is weighing in Mathurin decisions. Playing with abandon is AA's superpower, but he misses a stretch of games because of it.
Any news on Obi? When is he coming back?
I think the Pacers go after Jaren Jackson Jr

Toilet: "Welcome in!"
Those second chance points were BRUTAL. We absolutely must get a dog as our starting center to compete with beasts like the Rockets and also give ourselves some of those second chance luxuries. Must be nice!
IJax was the best defender on Sengun. You need someone tough, not necessarily huge, like when the Spurs put Keldon Johnson on him. Huff and Potter got absolutely bodied.
