If the Rockets come out soft the way they have these last 2 losses they will get embarrassed, dont like their chances tonight given what they showed lately, but a lot rides on what Alpi does, he has to lead the way along with KD

So we're left with 1 center who's sitting on the bench with his back wrapped, really cool stuff 👍
Rockets injury report:
Steven Adams (right soleus strain), Clint Capela (right ankle sprain) and Oscar Tshiebwe (illness) are all listed as OUT for tonight's game vs Denver.
Alperen Sengun will be the only healthy center available for Houston tonight

Creating on an island
Alpi has been quite terrible with his push shots so far, a lot of them are not even close, once upon a time that was easily his most reliable shot 😕

As hard as I was on Alpi last night because my expectations of him are very high, bad games do happen, Cade is having himself a doozy so far

Tari, Reed, and Smart put the team in such a hole, as much as the blame can be put on Alpi for letting the team down, those 3 played so incredibly poorly, 5/23 combined shooting and 6 turnovers is a lot to overcome, game was winnable in spite of all the poor performances

If you were building an offense around one elite creator, which playmaking skill would you rather have:
consistently generating shots at the rim or consistently generating open 3s?
Obviously the best answer is “both” but I'm curious which skill people think is harder for a defense to take away
What was so infuriating watching him do this is that nothing was keeping him from doing in through 3 quarter other than himself, his complete lack of aggression and throwing up nonsense was solely on him, Suns defense was not that great, he took himself out of game

Something seemed off with Alpi the last game when he looked scared and hesitant to attack Gobert who he regularly has success against, but to be scared to attack Oso and Maluach is pitiful, you know it's gonna be a bad night when he is flinging up wild shots that have no hope
