    Finally Kenyon Martin Jr. gets in the game.

    There are several players tonight who probably should be traded - Gordon - obviously, but Tate is really exposed as super limited, as is Theis....they are both role players on a good team, on a bad team they are just really not good enough.

    The players around them are not good enough to draw away the attention they both need to succeed.

    KPJ cannot be a PG or even a primary ball handler at this point as far as I'm concerned.

    Dude can't even make entry passes or make passes in the pick and roll...

    It seems like every pass this guy makes gets tipped or picked off.

    And of course he does not have what it takes to compose the team and get them into good sets...Dude is not a PG...

    Why the f is Hollins so positive about everything? Someone could throw the ball directly into the stands and he’d say “I love the attempt! Keep trying guys!”

    That was already foul. On the other hand, we also saw Theis, who started, to be failed. How many players in the league can defend bulky guys like KAT, Embiid?

    It’s happened to everyone. We’ve been demolished on defense. Sengun and Tate only two that even try to play defense. Theis had a couple plays. But for most part we’ve been abused.

    He was advertised to be a high flying dunker — I don’t think I’ve seen that from him yet. Seems to be a finesse player.

    Alperen Sengun is the only Point Guard on the team.

    Should've drafted Sharife Cooper, should've tried to acquire another 2nd Rounder and gotten him.

    The Rockets offense is a disaster.

    John Wall is needed, sigh

    Umm...why are we putting in the bench mob? Don't the starters need chemistry?

    Sengun with 11 points in 18 minutes. Green with 9 points in 32 minutes.

    It's pretty clear who our best young player is (Well, it's Josh Christopher. But then it's Sengun).
