Rockets fans: Mobley is okay against bamboo-pole insiders, but Shen Jing can fight hard.

Seriousq: why was Mobley guarding him so far out? Idon’t believeSengunisthatmuchofathreatfromoutside

Spurs fans: If you don’t understand, just ask: Why was Mobley guarding him so closely on the outside? I don't believe that Shen Jing's external threats are so great.

[–]RocketsApocalyptic9359points4hoursago

Part of the reason is that Alpiis shooting 45% from3(3.23PA)

Rockets fans: Part of the reason is that Shen Jing’s three-point shooting rate is 45% (averaging 3.2 shots per game).

Rockets fans: I don’t know why opponents always want to steal him. Maybe they don’t understand why the center dribbles the ball on the outside. His ball handling often taught them how to behave.

Rockets fans: This happens often - defenders didn’t expect him to be so stable with the ball at his size, and always wanted to force him to make a mistake.

ThankyouOKC

Rockets fans: Thank you Thunder veteran (the Thunder selected Shen Jing and later traded him to the Rockets).

Fans: Actually, it’s time to thank the Spurs. Using the No. 12 pick to select Josh Primo and letting Shen Jing pass was a laugh.

He makes me miss Donatas Motiejūnas. Although it is far from comprehensive, it can occasionally contribute low-level highlights.

Raptors fans: Friday’s Rockets game (against the Nuggets) will be super interesting. If you can win, it will definitely be a declaration of victory.

Thunder fans: Being able to win the game even when you are not at your best is the sign of a strong team. I don't understand. Does anyone else need a reminder? The Rockets are serious, competing for the first echelon of championships.

Rockets fans: Of course! This kind of game can determine the direction of the season. The crazy thing is that last season, the collapse in the third quarter would have been straightforward. I’m really looking forward to the development of the Thunder and Rockets in the next 2-3 years. There’s a lot to see in the Western Conference.

Fans: Aaron Holiday’s career masterpiece scored 18 points in a single quarter (actually 14 points in the final quarter) to seal the victory. I love watching this scene.

Rockets fans: I hope Udoka can figure out the rotation when Tali and Finney-Smith are missing as soon as possible. In the third quarter, the combination of Jayshawn Tate and Capela was really working together. Holiday and Reid played well enough, but I don't understand why Okogie has so little time. Before the forwards return, they should use more of these people + Adams.

Fans: Yes, Simmons and O'Connor (both basketball analysts) have been fired for a long time, and they were even tough-talking when Beijing signed a contract extension in the offseason.
