    Can we finally bench Jalen? Or will this be his 1 in 5 great game?

    I'm not saying benching Jalen will make the team start winning but it sure is wasting development time not giving those minutes to Amen or Cam. The cat's out of the bag now, every other team in the league know Jalen is on a bust trajectory.

    Doesn’t really matter. Portland who’s “supposed” to be worse came to Houston a few weeks ago on their 2nd night of a back to back and beat the rockets. And the rockets had 2 days off prior to that game. So they lose with rest and lose without. And they just got destroyed after a full week off. It isn’t the schedule.

    the rockets have a whopping 5 road wins in the season with 14 to go. Let that sink in

    It is getting harder to watch. Will Stevo play? He should.

    Hope we can stay competitive for most of the game.
    Guess aiming for Amen and more Whitmore is the best we can hope.

    I'm finally on the bench Jalen train.. because he needs confidence more than anything else. He needs to play against weaker units if we ever want to get him back on a positive trajectory. Development is rarely linear.

    Hopefully he's mature enough to accept responsibility and work from there. Any poor reactions would be really disappointing.
