I’ve wondered for years if elite shooters like Kevin Durant even see or notice defenders when they take jump shots or if they only see the basket.

I asked KD about that after the game

“Sometimes when I lose focus I look at my defender and look for a split second back at the o stay conscious no matter what keep my eye on the rim stay with my fundamentals.”

Rockets are a well-organized team this season. Of course, you dont want to be without anyone, but the Rockets just seemed to be at a different level this season.

How many times last season did we see the Rockets lose to teams like the Bucks, even at full strength

Bogdan and Bogdan again🔥

This is what 5-0 looks like. Back to back smiling games for Ime. A new record.

Fred is frying the Bucks right now. He saw how the Rockets were struggling in the quarter and is doing exactly what a leader should do

I have never seen so many shots either miss everything or barely touch the rim. Most of the Bucks' shots have been way off.

Yes Capela 3 was from the right corner

5-33 from 3 for both teams.

Such a smart play by Bogdan he could have easily forced it and instead made a perfect pass to Amen.

This really shouldn't take that long

7-22 .This may be a game where the defense is going to have to win the game for the Rockets

Probably should put that first play at the bottom of the pile

Tonight's starters

Tari moves into the starting 5 as predicted

Sounds like Sengun will be out for a few games at the most.

If I had to guess Jabari starts at the 5 and Tari moves into the starting lineup or less likely Amen moves to power forward and Reed moves into the starting lineup only if Marcus Smart is back.

First scenario more likely.

The wait is almost over ⏳

Alperen Sengun is off to the best start of his career with career high numbers across the board.

I spoke with @NateGriffFOX26 about the Rockets center live this morning

After playing majority of last summer and dealing with injuries I asked Alperen how much healthier does he feel this season compared to last season.

“I came fresh I was ready and I had a good diet program this summer to.”

Kevin Durant on Alperen Sengun great start to the season.

“Teams playing one on one down there in the post on the elbow they think they can stop him they must have read a bunch of bad articles this summer on him.”

Kevin Durant finished with 4 blocks tonight in the Rockets win over the Hawks. I asked KD if sometime his defensive impact can be just as important as his offense even though his defense isn’t talked about as much.

“Most definitely I think being this size and being able to adds another dimension to a team.”

Ime was pumped after that last Reed 3

Kevin Durant has been hype all game long when he is on the bench each time a Rocket makes a play.
