How the fudge did the Rockets win this game? They were down by so much, I think it was 26 at one point. And then I look at the boxscore and the final score is 109-107 in their favor? I have two monitors that I use for highlight-making, but I think I might need a third (and a bigger desk) so I can watch games on that one while making vids. I always feel like I’m missing out on stuff because I have to get to work as soon as the early games start finishing up. Stuff like the Rockets (not to mention the Thunder who did something similar) exposing Poopovich once again as a coach who lucked into several Hall-of-Famers at the same time and can’t make a mediocre roster into anything other than a mediocre team.
Ben McLemore played his part in the comeback, hitting a three to take the lead with three minutes left. If you said, after last season ended, that he would soon be playing crunch-time minutes for one of the best teams in the West, not because of injuries, but because he earned it, I’d say that you needed to stop confusing the G-League for the regular league. But here we are. Ben McLemore. Playing crunch-time minutes. For one of the best teams in the West. I’d say it probably feels like a dream for him, but NBA players in general are a confident bunch, and he’s probably just thinking “God damn, finally a team who appreciates me, I’m tired of getting jerked around by teams who won’t let me play to my potential”.
