2023-24 Season | Game #27 | Rockets @ Cavs | Dec. 18, 2023 | 7:00 p.m.

[Pierre Pan]

8 guys in double figures. Contributions from so many ….Okoro with 11, 7 and 6; LeVert with 12, 7 and 5; Sammy with 19, 4 and 3 to only mention a few ; Strus heated up at the right time, as well; JA’s huge block late with 5 fouls

Guys playing the same 83 game schedules teams play today used to AVERAGE 42 MPG

DG’s face didn’t get injured from fatigue, it went straight into KPs hip

Even is a 21 year old averaging normal starter minutes, nothing excessive

Okoro initiated the offense for the first 2-3 minutes of overtime, likely due to the minutes Mitchell had already played. Surprisingly, it was quite successful with him assisting in two buckets and his offensive rebound leading to a third.

Guys used to also chainsmoke at half time and show up halfway thru the 2nd coked out with a 5 big macs. Doesn't mean it was a good thing

 

[wuck]

sure, none of the systematic issues with playing starters too many minutes could ever have an impact on who gets injured. okay, that's a great argument.

 

[Tlyons]

Sammy leading the way with +13

lets go

 

[Rich]

Have we don’t that yet?

If we did, you'd sit here and argue why it was the right decision. And we all know it.

It is a really nice win... Need to keep it up. Beat the Jizz now...

I couldn't believe it when it was put out that Delly was drinking coffee at halftime in the finals.

Would be a big shot in the arm to go 3-0 after the injuries

Didn't Delly like get hospitalized over doing this too? I mean I drink I shit ton of caffeine but I could not imagine drinking I am guessing a hot coffee and then trying to play lol lol lol

No I wouldn’t

That’s your opinion

Bron was built to play entire second halves. Some other players are too.

He got a a nice 6-6 minute break in the first half and then played the full second half. Same as last game so likely something discussed and agreed up on by all parties

 

[Pierre Pan]

Forgot to mention that I absolutely loved seeing Sammy go aggressively to the hoop in OT and use that left hand; fantastic

Which of our injured this year are related to the too many minutes?

Caris maybe?

 

[Comeback kid]

Dean never played a second in the 4th quarter or overtime….. but I guess he did miss one shot tonight. Smh

 

[Tlyons]

Getting the defensively disabled tired Hawks and the Rockets on the tail end of their trip was nice.

And we have the Jazz next? Shit, we may figure out how to stay afloat until our boys are back by building some confidence against these 3 teams.

That's just flat out coaching malpractice. Guys should not be playing long extended stretches. It kills their effectiveness at the end of games and increases wear and tear and therefore risk of stress injuries. Jbb already ended Ricky's career. Don't want him to do it to another player
