    That was an EPIC garbage time run by Green!

    Folks, he's learning! CWood mentorship program paying off

    Glad I stuck with it. I was expecting Bruno time and instead it was the Green Zone. He absolutely took over.

    Amazing what happens when you just let Jalen Green be aggressive and look more for his own offence

    Silas ain’t going anywhere…Tilman is not paying for 2 coaches

    Idk why y’all trust Stone to hire a good replacement anyways. He’s the one who hired Silas, and he’s not to be trusted when it comes to competency

    Silas is the fall guy for Stone…he takes all the heat while Stone stays hidden in the shadows

    That was a top 10,000 NBA game I've watched, I think I can say that with some level of confidence.

    Down 20 with 2 minutes used to be the Wood Shed. Well, it's under new management.

    Yeah, Rockets suck, have lost a lot of games, not breaking any news but they’ve had…

    -20 game losing streak
    -5 game losing streak
    -5 game losing streak
    -5 game losing streak
    -7 game losing streak

    This year…
    -15 game losing streak
    -8 game losing streak
    -4 game losing streak
    -10 game losing streak after tonight

    They did have a 6-game win streak (last year) and 7-game win streak (this year)

    Both Silas and Stone need to go. Not trading Wood and Gordon before the deadline when their value was high was unacceptable. And playing Schroder heavy minutes at the cost of Josh Christopher and Dashien Nix's development doesn't make any sense.

    hmmm, looks like Jalen Green balled out towards the end…maybe I should’ve stuck around, but Nwaba entering the game just did it for me…my eyes could not tolerate much more

    that’s what highlights are for I guess

    It'd be good if Green could get those points during the first 3ish quarters when the game was within reach and the defense was trying.

    Not pad them all on when it was a blowout and the defense had stopped caring.

    This team is just so unenjoyable to watch when Wood is on the court. My god.

    Garbage time with Sengun, Jalen, Gup and KJ was really fun.

    You bail when you see Bruno.

    We don't talk about Bruno.

    Dude, Ex legend covington was still playing his heart out. The bias always shows.
    Comment would be better off saying when the Clippers took out Zubac. A real legit center changes everything which is why Green can drive against a Mobley but not a Jarett.

    Green is never going to be the first option in the starting lineup with Tate, EG, and Wood dominating the ball. Wood is never going to screen or re-screen or give the ball back to Jalen like Sengun. Jalen is a spot up shooter in the starting lineup when he is def not a spot up shooter.

    stop hating and at least see the potential Sengun/Jalen starting lineup of the future.

    Yes we run plays. Isolation plays are still plays. He is not a isolation player yet and that is not a knock. Telling him to "call his number" means going 1 on 1 and that is just not his game right now. Look at all his good games, he is coming off screens, playing a 2 man game until he finds ehythm .

    Lol I thought Green had a terrible shooting game until I checked the box score and saw he shot better than the team %. We had brick layers aplenty tonight.

    Still disappointed in his three ball. He needs to get in the gym and work on it. He has come a long way with his defense. Seeing more blocks, steals, deflections and he’s doing a really good job 1 on 1 recently.
