    The biggest problem on this team right now and has been all season is Twiggy.

    What coach can be successful when his "best player" is selfish and refuses to play anything resembling defense?

    Guard to Twiggy: Set a pick

    Twiggy: Set a pick? Haha. F&*k you.

    Action: Twiggy slips the screen and chucks a 3.

    Count how many possessions someone other than Twiggy defended KAT in last night's game .... The answer is damn near all of them.

    How the hell do you expect Silas to be successful with that happening? I guess he's supposed to magically put a stop to it .... while not totally tanking the trade value of said asshat.


    Everyone knows that dude isn't long for the team and the sooner he's gone the better.


    I think some of you need to take a look at the development of guys like Tate, Green, Mathews, Sengun, Christopher & Brooks who are all coming along very well despite the exposure to Wood's antics.

    This year is about development and we're seeing just that from the players that matter.

    Wood with no energy on defense and all the energy to generate shots for him

    Yet we have our prime trade asset that's notoriously made of glass out there in the 4th..ok that makes no sense. Stop acting like this organization has a plan

    Anthony Edwards, KAT and Russell played 34 minutes, 33 minutes and 33 minutes respectively, far more than any of our starters. They literally played a whole extra quarter worth of minutes.

    Garbage time didn't start until the final 3 minutes of the game.

    Silas threw in the white flag far far too early, which is normally fine, but you are wasting valuable competitive minutes so 2nd and 3rd stringers can play?

    He is the absolute worst I have ever seen when it comes to getting back on defense after anything negative happens to him. It’s ridiculous that he is allowed to get away with it game after game.

    Thanks! It was great to get out and live. I enjoyed the game, just wish the Rockets would play some defense!

    One of the frustrating things last night for me was that Vanderbilt was available this past offseason. a known plus defender with length and roots in Houston. He went for less than TPMLE. There were people asking for him this past offseason and we went older/more expensive with Theis. I’m starting to wonder about the scouting department on our team and overall vision.

    Ooof that one was ugly. Kinda how I thought it might go. Growing pains suck, but its part of the process. Everyone will look back on these stinkers and laugh in a couple of years.

    I get such a kick out of the game thread posts/discussions that seem to start with the belief that this group of players actually could be good with a different coach and the right rotations.

    Yall need to stop acting like we were supposed to be world beaters this year. Have some patience. It was dumb to play Gordon but that doesnt mean we are a sinking ship.

    OH NO! Now Jalen Green is going to suck forever. Now we will continue losing for 20 years.. NOW EVERYTHING IS RUINED.

    Yall need to chill. Its one game. Or multiple games, whatever, its an 81 game season. If Jalen Green is a superstar, he'll be one. Same with the rest of our young guys, they'll be as good as they really are.

    I dont know why everyone is panicking.

    Lol I didn't. I had us in the lottery while idiots was saying we was gonna be play in so you barking up the wrong tree. We want them to play the young guys all the minutes to develop them to max potential. Simple I don't give 2 shots about winning a game
