    I think he would’ve helped a lot today in the late fourth but there were too many BS calls on him early

    Jabari can't dribble. That's not on the Silas. He can barely make a move without traveling. It was apparent then in summer league and it's even more obvious now. Silas can be blamed for a lot of things but Jabari is who he is right now. I have no doubts he's going to get better but he seems overwhelmed on offense even with the few touches he gets.

    Our rebuild looks like a joke.

    I know it's hindsight, but imagine if we would have got Ivey and traded KPJ :eek:

    Lol.

    Mobley can’t dribble and the Cavs do not treat him as NBDL scrubs.

    Stop finding crap excuses for an idiotic coach

    ^Lol nobody listen to this clown.^

    Once again Jabari Smith had double digit shots, nearly all of which were assisted.

    Once again he failed to deliver despite being spoon fed wide open 3 opportunities.

    Glad he got some rebounds but we need more from him.

    Eason should have played late. He's not afraid to make his own luck.

    Garuba should have sat late. He allows teams to play 4 on 5 in halfcourt

    pick and pops...screen and rolls...screen and pops...so many ways to get him involved...turn on the college tape, he didnt know how to dribble then, but then again he had an actual COACH, who knew how to use his strengths...

    it is only November. Improvement is not based off one month of basketball. We have the second youngest roster. I expect we will be better in March than we are now and remember that we have had a really hard schedule so far. We have improved to the point that we have pushed some of the good teams so far. Improvement is not always seen in wins and losses. Only Orlando and Minnesota are the two teams we have played who are not in the top 10 in either conference. We have played the current top 4 teams in the West and 2 of the top 4 in the East. The schedule has been brutal so far. Only three home games hurt as well. Schedule doesn't get much better in the next 12 games with Clippers, Dallas, Indiana, Golden State, Atlanta, Thunder, Denver, Denver, Phoenix, Golden State, Miami and Portland

    Bad finish, our starters were overmatched, KPJ was terrible in ball protection.

    Jalen Green is a star. Silas is holding him back.

    Jabari needs a point guard to give him the ball, and we do not have a point guard to do that. I understand why ALL of the NBA draft expert said Jabari does not need to go to Houston because they have no point guards and his talent will be wasted. We need a point guard…

    Same here, he played bad going down the stretch. He let a lesser player frustrate him and that's his job.

    KPJ WILL GET BETTER!

    I remember Hakeem use to let Billy Paultz frustrate him and other lesser players his first couple.of yrs until he learned to play above them.

    We were spoiled with Morey and Alexander. I grew up with those guys. I miss them now. We've had bad coaches here and there but overall competent. As far as I remember we've always had a competent front office leader. We prob currently have the worst GM, Owner, Coach trio in Rockets history. As someone alluded to earlier it feels like we're the Knicks.
