Reed Sheppard reminds me of Rockets Legend Matt Maloney on defense —that, unfortunately, is not a compliment.

Press Amen Thompson in the backcourt at your own risk

10/10 from the line is really good sign for the rockets in the first half.

I think we are going to be way better from their this season.

Thunder's strategy seems to be not allow Sengun to do anything in the post which doesn't quite work when he can pass it to KD for a wide open middy.

It would be hilarious if the refs call Dort's NFL grab pick on Amen, on this challenge.

BobbySegs @bobbysegs.bsky.social · 1h

Rockets look a lot better. Amen seems a little more comfortable at PG with every position.

BobbySegs @bobbysegs.bsky.social · 1h

It's looked awkward so far for the Rockets but we are up by one.

Carmelo Anthony wearing shades on NBC's first NBA broadcast in 23 years is pretty funny.

If that guy from Maine is Fetterman 2.0, I am a little frightened to see what Fetterman 3.0 is going to be.

Every now and then I go back and read the Citizens United ruling to see if it is as unhinged as I thought, and every time I do that I see it is actually far more deranged than I remembered.

Supreme Court ruling: "This Court now concludes that independent expenditures, including those made by corporations, do not give rise to corruption or the appearance of corruption. That speakers may have influence over or access to elected officials does not mean that those officials are corrupt. And the appearance of influence or access will not cause the electorate to lose faith in this democracy."

I am sure we will get more details about the Tari negotiations soon, but it is a bummer that he is not signing with the Rockets before the deadline.

I don't think it will affect his play, but it does affect him being in Houston post-trade deadline.

The Chicago Bulls franchise has broken many brains.

BobbySegs @bobbysegs.bsky.social · 1d

This is not me saying it would be good just that it needs to happen.

In about a year, someone needs to pick Russ up for an NBA broadcast. Every generation deserves its own Bill Walton.

Katie Heindl @wtevs.bsky.social · 1d

also russ not caring about taking a photo with will smith is the normal reaction in that situation

What three teams (other than your own) are you most looking forward to watching? Not necessarily as contenders, but maybe they added someone new or have a young player who's breaking out

3. Detroit
2. Orlando
1. Spurs
