You do generally get more free throws when you go closer to the paint though. I think that is a good thing.

I do think there is something to this... It might just be guess work but it seems like JC gets on a roll quicker if he sees a ball go through the hoop. Maybe he starts by taking a good two and then starts flame throwing. I will say that about 80% of his shots are rational and good now... Don't get me wrong he makes some of the irrational ones... but I think he's been a little better with shot selection. Like he's maybe cut one heat check three per game.

I dont mind a bunch of threes and not too many twos but the last two games the ratio is 22 three point shots - 3 two point shots. That is insane. Another reason I like him going inside more is that he tires the defense out trying to guard him all over the place. Sitting on the three point line and jacking up quick threes doesn't make the defense work at all. Hans was talking about this on the radio today. How Clarksons energy is one of his best attributes and you can literally see him wearing defenders down when they have to guard against his persistent attacking of the hoop. His energy is wasted just jacking up 22 threes in two games. Anyone can do that. doesn't take a lot of energy or make the defense work hard to defend him.
 
Nice 6 game win streak. That said, I think the Rockets have the most impressive win streak in NBA history. They had 1 win before they started streaking. I don't care who you are, who they played, but that's impressive af.

Yeah, their rookie got hurt and they started playing Wood at the position he can actually have an impact from.

What did Niang do or whatever?

Rudy was under the basket going up for a dunk and Niang brought him down around the neck with his arm, kinda like he was put in a headlock and thrown down. Niang got called for flagrant 1.
 
I’m curious what Niang said to Gobert after the fact, but it looks like he deliberately fouled but maybe miscalculated the situation. The fact that he immediately went to help him up doesn’t strike me as a move made with malicious intent or whose ultimate outcome was deliberate.

I dont think he meant to hurt him, but Niang has absolutely no shot of making a play on the ball on an alley-oop to Gobert. It was a really stupid foul and really dangerous.
