Being an NBA head coach is hard.
It’s harder when your roster is young.
But I think if you’re still giving Stephen Silas the benefit of the doubt, you’re not taking an objective look at his body of work with the Rockets. – 10:20 PM

Part of #Rockets game plan is to take advantage of lack of rim protection for Celtics. Clearly looking for Sengun early in the possession. Houston has taken advantage of Sengun getting deep post position, creating some open corner and above-the-break 3s. – 7:52 PM

Rockets young guns (PTS/FG%):
🎯 Kevin Porter Jr. (36/63.6)
🎯 Alperen Sengun (25/83.3)
🎯 Jalen Green (24/60.0)
They are the second trio in NBA history, all less than 23 years old, to each score at least 20 points with a 60 FG% in the same game.

I also watched HOU-CHI this morning:
-Great offensive balance for HOU, led by the guards.
-Rockets have so many fun forwards. Eason is always doing stuff.
-Bulls are very broken. Defense & effort are atrocious.
-Nice Coby White game but does he have a real future in Chicago? – 8:46 AM

Celtics get the Rockets on a B2B tonight, after Houston won in Chicago.
Much like the Orlando games earlier this month, Boston should win this one. But the Celtics have to show up ready to play or the young Rockets can trip them up. – 8:38 AM

Celtics will play a tidy 82 regular season games in calendar year 2022. They are 58-22 so far. It could be their best calendar-year winning percentage since the title season of 2008.
