We can talk about Shengun.

I thought Shengun played really good in the second half.

It was almost, for me, a lot like the Minnesota game, where he was just really terrible in the first half, and then the second half was really good.

Same thing kind of with that Minnesota game.

I think he, uh, Shingun hit eight of his last nine shots and he had a couple of shots where they were sort of, uh, you know, not the two foot layup variety, you know, like a eight to 12 foot, um, turnaround fade or something along those lines.

So he had it going on.

It's just what I'm actually pointed out.

You had to survive a night tonight where KD goes five of 18.

I believe he's one of eight, uh, from three point range.

You're not going to see that very often.

Yeah, on both players.

I'll talk about Adams a little bit more first.

You know, when we look at the Rockets and where they are record-wise versus where they are net rating-wise, the Rockets should be better.

Their record should be better based on where they are net rating.

But a lot of their net rating, or a good chunk of that, is really those Steven Adams minutes.

And he is...

crazy the impact that he has when he's on the floor uh tonight they started double big they were good uh and played well i i'm really hopeful that uh it's i'll just put it this way i thought it was something that could cost him his season i thought it could possibly be yeah i thought this you know he couldn't even put weight on it right away he was you know in in pain and you know steven adams high pain tolerance i was quite nervous about that this was

Much worse than a high ankle sprain, but I do agree with you.

I would be stunned if he's back before a month or something like that.

I think it's going to take him beyond the All-Star break.
