Houston's Giant lineup is legit. That makes me feel real good about our game against them. We were scoring in the paint at an elite level against that lineup. Most of OKC's point are coming outside of the paint and SGA isn't even trying to attack that frontcourt.

KD & Sengun getting a lot of mismatched switches out there.

OKC finally took a note of our playbook and picked up the pace and attack Houston before they can get set and attacking Easton and Sheppard when they sub some of their starters out.

Was surprised to see Thompson playing PG and going at his matchup. That’s a scary development for a player like that.

Reed Sheppard, gotta be one of the most overhyped prospects in recent memory.

Half the time he doesn't look like an NBA player.

Amen Thompson is a PG. He’s played PG his whole basketball career until the NBA. It’s not surprising.

I've gotten a lot of heat for saying Sengun is a top 15 player. Looked like a top 5 player tonight. He's only 23 btw.

Reminder of another Griff disaster could’ve had Sengun instead of that stupid draft Ziare Williams trade to Grizzlies and got nothing.

Playing PG in HS is not the same as playing PG in the NBA going against an elite defender.. he’s obviously a big guard/wing but no one would label him a PG.

He didn’t go to college and went straight to playing in Overtime Elite. He played PG. He has been groomed as a PG/wing hybrid with the Rockets. He’s always been a PG and has continued to develop his PG skills with the Rockets. Rockets fans have been talking about him as the secondary PG since he was drafted. It’s a constant conversation.

Yet fans of other teams had no idea he was a PG. It’s no surprise at all to Rockets fans that he would be given PG duties after Fred went down, as it’s always been his position. He’s a very good passer. He can get to the rim in the pick and roll. The thing he isn’t great at still is his handles, which obviously for a PG it’s important, So he will turn the ball over more than Fred. However, he brings other attributes to the position that makes him more than capable of running the offense.

The question is the backup PG spot… not Amen running the point when he’s on the floor.
