    Amen looked like a G Leaguer tonight. Shooting 7 3s is not a recipe for success. He was nervous but he was also really bad.

    Jalen is not a winning basketball player. He's a 6th man at best on a sub .500 team

    Jabari realized it's not the preseason anymore. I have faith Jabari's shooting will turn around but he will never be a good rebounder.

    Watching Spurs vs Mavs on ESPN prime time right now.. Spurs look really good and Wemby looks better than any of the dudes we drafted in the lottery these past 3 years. :mad:

    What’s concerning is Jalen Green is playing like his rookie season. Empty calories stat padding.

    It's because the Rockets have a logjam of talent and so the logs smash into each other

    So can everyone agree to boycott going to the games until this team puts together a 5 game winning streak? Put the pressure on these mofo's!!

    Amen can never, and I mean NEVER EVER, lead the team in three point attempts ever again. For his entire career, that should probably never be allowed to happen again. He's not that guy. He's sure as HELL not that guy in his first NBA game.

    And by the way, he was a -34 tonight. Holy **** that's bad!

    Well… I think the consensus is everyone was disgusted & super disappointed in the opening outing, and feel like their nuts got kicked and their hearts stomped. Team meeting, man Team meeting.

    You select a bad player, it's not on the player, it's on the manager

    Of course he hasn't grown. If he's 7'0" Kuminga is 7'2" like Perkins said

    San Antonio has been rebuilding for years.

    Painful first game of the season. Jalen is simply too highly drafted to look that bad in year 3. It’s just the first game, but to me it’s clear that the team is still fundamentally unbalanced. FVV can only do so much.
