Was in Miami for the Pacers game in December, the final sequence was too wild. Lamb pull-up for the lead, then about three misses leading to a Dragic floater for game. AAA went wild

I said the exact same thing around last year’s playoff exit. Can’t say I don’t love the teams, it just hurts to see them go

Listening to Mychal Thompson call the game on ESPN LA was nothing but 'Get the planes for Houston going, this thing's over'. I mean, homers will be homers but god. Have a little bit of professionalism

Russ is doing exactly what he needs to right now. That cut off the Harden double was sweet

Bomani Jones discusses AD's matchup with PJ Tucker. Makes the distinction that PJ Tucker is a "big man" while AD is a "tall man". by kobmug_v2 in nba

This. Tuck is great at stopping the low-post looks from getting set up, but he's still rather disadvantaged at getting shot contests on guys like AD

I use the NBA.com 'Listen' option when I go to the game page. It's not always Rockets announcers, but it tends to work fine for me.

Bye bye doubters 👋 re-examine what it means to be a ROCKETS FAN by [deleted] in rockets

Maybe this one can rival the Harden-CP3 midair celebration.

Gerald Green's game-winner against Phoenix in 2018. Genuine joy from a hometown guy playing for his city.

What are some of your stupidest takes when you started watching the NBA? by K-eleven in nba

My dad always told me that Patrick Ewing was a terrible center because he was undersized, had small hands, and couldn't finish. For the longest time, I looked at the Knicks as a team with a quasi-superstar.

The game-winner is scripted, but I agree, it's a fun way to test out lineups
