Keep feeding Alperen Sengun the ball. My God! He could be such a superstar.
But for whatever reason he's too shy or the game plan isn't to get him involved.
But when Sengun takes over he takes over. He can be every bit as good as Jokic.

Rockets lead 55-53 at halftime. The Warriors won't go away. Always tough to beat them on the road.

Alperen Sengun is 6-for-10 shooting (60%). He should be getting the ball every time. Not enough for my liking.
Sengun is too quick and too skilled for Draymond and Porzingis. They can't stop Sengun. Game is way too close.

This is why I'm concerned about playing Denver in the first round. Nikola Jokic isn't an aging Draymond or a stiff like Porzingis.

This is the Jabari Smith Jr. that I often compare to Chris Bosh. Jabari is blossoming into a star right before our eyes.
5-6 threes. Feeling it from long range. He's still only 22 years old. Jabari will be important to make a deep playoff run.

92-82 Rockets going to the 4th quarter. Can't let Stephen Curry do the shimmy shake anymore.
Steph got hot and started dancing. Rockets need to focus and go put this game away in the 4th.

This game is going to make me have a heart attack. Going down to the wire. Jeez. Please Rockets.

115-114 Rockets with 33 seconds left. Warriors ball. Stephen Curry is hotter than the sun. Damn...
If we lose this game I may not even get any sleep tonight. Rockets need a big defensive stop NOW!!

I give up. 116-115 Warriors. 16 seconds left. Rockets ball. Sigh...

Yesssss!!!! Rockets win 117-116!!! Sengun hit the game winner. Stephen Curry bricks it at the buzzer.

I don't know how I made it through that final 1:35. My blood pressure is all over the place. I aged five years. Stress levels off the charts.

7 years? ya its been awhile....
