    This summer!
    We need to release Stone, trade Jalen and Jabari together for a STAR and start Amen.

    Amen reminds me of a better Rajón Rondo

    I'm on board with tanking. There's no point to trying to make the play in with this squad.

    Let's get our pick back and get two more Amen and Cam next year.

    What's the point of playing defense if you're going to be down by 15 at the half anyway because your offense is reliant on a Make A Wish Kid?

    Stone is the guy who got Amen.

    I thought putting Amen at SF made little sense with FVV and Holliday. Amen needs to operate as a playmaker instead of deferring to FVV

    The Rockets have been pretty mediocre at home recently too - they're basically . 500 since Christmas with the wins they have being against tank brigades or teams missing lots of guys like NYK. Maybe the Lakers and Milwaukee are decent wins, but they also have some absolutely pathetic home losses like Portland (on the end of a road b2b) and Philadelphia (no embiid)

    Also they got carved up by this same Pelican team at home a few weeks ago pretty much the exact same way - JV (no Zion) dominated the lane. Again.

    The aberration isn't that the Rockets are good at home and bad on the road - the aberration was that Nov-Dec mirage.

    Not saying FOOLS GOLD, but definitely could be FOOLS GOLD

    If we make a quick 22-0 run we could win this

    All-star break did wonders for the team.

    If Stone try to quietly give Green the bag this Summer, Stone needs to fired on the spot

    Is this game better or worse than the season opener at Orlando?

    Why is Jalen not in to end the game?

    This is the only time he should be on the court with his 'abilities'.

    Jalen Green is a cancer to this team, him shooting 3-14 along with his crappy defense actively hurts this team.

    It's not a coincidence everytime Jalen bricks a shot, the other scores immediately on a fast break.
