    The best part of the game was to see Sengun already fed up from his teammates' antiquties and was asking them to position themselves properly.

    Sure but only after we secured Wemby or the real Scoot first! ;)

    I'm all in for tanking now. I want generational talent and this team has nothing resembling that.

    too bad we can only tank this year since next year our pick will belong to OKC.

    Hard schedule and it is hard to see us winning anytime soon. We can score, but we can't stop anyone from scoring. Maybe the Clippers put in one of their sucking jobs and let us have a win

    This early season schedule is brutal for the young Rockets they are playing playoff teams every night so far
    I wonder how the other lotto teams schedules stack up

    Jalen Green is playing like he wants to average 25 points instead of hooping.

    Nothing is guaranteed. Wemby may get injured or we can end up with 4th pick. Tanking doesn’t work unless you get lucky. Look at Kings. We need a system and credibility so when a rookie does come in it doesn’t look like it is a crap show.

    We have loads of talent, just not 4 off seasons in them already to build their bodies. You don't get many generational talent that comes along anyway, that why they are called "generational"

    They are top 4 protected but yeah we'd run a significant risk of sucking all year just to hand OKC the #5 overall pick.

    that is why you play 82 games and not 7. I'm sure we will get better in the coming months. Haven't even hit November yet.

    Scoring is not a problem for us, it is the other end. we have scored 100 points in every game, would score higher if we could get some stops and get out and run more.

    No other coach will do any better. Have some patience and let them grow................as frustrating as it is.

    The kings traded away haliburton, a guy who actually wanted to play there, and took Bagley over Luka. That's just talent falling into their lap and them going "nah I don't want it"

    Last season, when he had the ball on the baseline and drew double teams, he always had a teammate to whom he could pass for a corner 3. This season everybody moves to the opposite half to give him an iso opportunity.
    Handoff assists were his bread and butter, but if they don't fall he gets nothing and they're just clanging.
    Also opponents have wisened up to his unexpected passes.
    Speaking of assists, have you seen how Jalen & Nix wasted two in 10 seconds? Those would be good examples. :)
