Anything critical I ever said about Jalen Green only applied to him in a Rockets uniform.

My brain melted. So many lob threats we got. When was the last time we had this many? The Nash years?

Hell yes! Watched it on my phone on a plane flight back from Orlando with pixelated video and frequent pausing due to shitty WiFi. Hell of a game!
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Gotta give Grayson credit, he was fantastic tonight too…been great all year. Who goes to the bench when Brooks is healthy?

I was thinking this but was almost afraid of saying it since everyone has been so down on him and wanting to trade him. He has been solid with steals, defense, taking it strong to the basket, BLOCKS, ball handling, 3's, even dunking. Royce has been doing what he needs to do also.

First of all, we all asked for a fun team, and that we have it.
Second, this team plays so much easier than last years, without the ball hogging, the lazy passes at midcourt, the 1x1 ball. I can't ask for much more for now.

Not-so-fearless prediction: Beal will be picking up his player option.
Re: Game Day: Clippers (3-4) @ Suns (3-5), Thurs 11/6/25
Green seems like the player we hoped Beal was going to be. Him and Booker together are going to carve up teams. Our 3pt shooters are hopefully going to feast on open shots. My big fear is him going KJ and start missing big games due to hamstring issues.
In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

I still very much want to trade Grayson and Royce…but the price is going up 
Re: Game Day: Clippers (3-4) @ Suns (3-5), Thurs 11/6/25
Caught a break tonight with the guys out for the Clips, but you still have to take advantage and they did a good job of it.
I liked that they decisively won the first half of the fourth quarter with Book on the bench. That Green/Gillespie/Dunn/Grayson/Richards lineup seems too small (like most of the lineups this year), but it was really active and Dunn especially was all over the place. Green provides another halfcourt option that's sorely needed. He doesn't seem to have much of a filter as far as distinguishing good shots from bad, but he didn't play selfish and his effort was really good.
I don't know what to do about the Oso minutes, other than maybe give him some time in the G League to try to get his head together. The team continues to get killed pretty much whenever he's on the floor, and especially when he's the only big. Defensively he's just grabbing and fouling, and he's not providing anything offensively. I'd rather see Maluach get 10 minutes a game at this point, it seems like he could hardly be any less effective.
Extra glad tonight to have Beal fucking up the opposing team's energy. Having to pay him to go away was a crap option, but still better than having him around.
