Well, come on. Let's talk Western conference here. No reason to pervericate any further. We're gonna go in

0:07.6

Mostly reverse order of the standings, but we have a couple of games that we're gonna talk about

0:12.5

So we'll fold those two teams in together and the Houston Rockets and the Sacramento Kings played a basketball game today

0:21.2

That was scheduled in an NBA arena. What are the Houston Rockets?

0:25.3

Fundamental standing. Yeah, it's been a more challenging stretch for Houston today notwithstanding

0:31.3

They're 13 and 32 overall three and 12 and their last 15 remember that hot stretch they had

0:36.8

It's been a little bit there 28th in net rating negative 8.7 per hundred possessions

0:42.8

26th in offense and they fall in all the way to last in defense 30th and

0:47.2

They're projected to finish with the worst record in the West 22 wins per 5 30 its Raptor model and they're not making the playoffs

1:30.1

Houston took it 118

1:31.8

112 and a lot of Rockets had some really encouraging moments on the offensive end

1:37.1

They also had an astronomical 22 turnovers that was made up for though by 16 of 40 three point shooting and

1:43.5

69% two point shooting the Kings give up the most points in the paint in the NBA and the Rockets have some guys who will attack the basket pretty hard

1:52.2

But my first takeaway is I just really liked what I've seen from Jalen Green in this game and quietly

1:58.2

Since he's missed about a month with that hamstring since he's come back

2:02.2
