    The rockets look like a better version of us. They also have no good offensive players, but they got better defensive players and more talent overall.

    I was worried Sengun was going to try and grab his arm and wrap him up to get more fouls. Deni took care of business.

    Extremely impressive. I thought it was over the second we took out Clingan.

    Yeah, I was surprised we didn't play him more in that fourth. I know they were being cautious with his knee. Another dirty injury courtesy of Brooks. Just glad Clingan is ok.

    Right?! He did including a late one against Sengun that helped us deal the win. Dude was everywhere tonight. Good to see him finally getting comfortable.

    They have a little more depth for sure. They were bad longer. They have hits and misses on their picks. Superior coaching and culture being built. They are a couple years ahead of us.

    I am enjoying a win and it was nice seeing Ant have a good game and not interrupt the team’s current success.

    I'd much rather have Deni than Jabari Smith.

    I like Sengun, but listening to the Rockets feed was making my ears bleed. They talked about him like he's unguardable down low. He's definitely strong and has great fundamentals, but he's not an exceptional athlete of have great length for a center in this league. If you don't jump for his ball fake and get caught on his hip, you're going to have a chance to contest. If he wants to shoot 15 footers, just raise your hand and let him.

    Deni had that one stop late in the game just playing better fundamental defense than Sengun did on offense. Didn't go for the fakes, played it straight and ended up blocking the shot of the bigger player.

    Did we ever hear what was wrong with Clingan’s knee? I know he returned, but….

    Brooks got him in the back of his knee then kicked him in the leg again on the way down.

    Is anyone else curious where the Blazers broadcasting is getting their stats? Their graphic shows the Blazers with like 67 rebounds, when ESPN has them at 53.

    And they seem to have those stats screwy all season too.

    That's the kind of player/coach Ime Udoka is.

    Not too shabby! Ant finally impacted a win, Deni was really good in this one. Clingan with 20 boards...hell of an effort!

    Playing Dirty is petty and pathetic. If you can't play for real, don't play.
