    I want Udoka to kick over a Gatorade cooler, throw someone through a glass window, and make them all watch film on this game while their peens sit in jalapeño juice. Then make everyone slap Jalen.

    What role does Jalen Green excel at, exactly?

    At least Brooks can say he is elite defensively. What is Jalen good at?

    Top 4 protected. After this game that's looking promising.

    This is what we waited all off season for.

    Rockets deserve all the negativity coming their way.


    And they may do better and look more competent as the season goes along but I’m 98% positive that Green nor Jabari are franchise level players.

    Still hope for Cam and Amen but Jalen and Jabari topping out as maybe rotation level players at best sets the team back a couple of years.

    Not a lot. 6th man scorer as his ceiling? Dude will never be elite with his shooting.

    Ime's going to be super disappointed because this will not be the worst game this season. I'm certain we will play worse but I hope Ime rips into their asses everytime they look like they wanna give up.

    Also, getting cooked by 40 by another young team is the perfect time to criticize and overreact. We been through 3 years of trash basketball. **** this roster. Burn it to the ground.

    EFFORT....pure and simple. I can't count how many times Orlando secured a rebound by outhustling us. Rebounds are WANT TO/EFFORT which was not there...why , I don't know. Shockingly, I was surprised with the rotations....something I thought was in the past.

    The copium is that Orlando is just a tough matchup. They are WAY bigger than we are. We usually are actually pretty decent rebounding team and we had no shot tonight. IIRC Rockets were actually one of the better rebounding teams last year too.

    I do think Ime has the right message after the first game though. They were not tough enough. That simple. Guys were pressing Green when they should have been terrified that he'd blow past them and make them pay for it.
