    can't wait til we get rid of nix, he's more infuriating to watch play for us than kpj if im being honest. At least kpj tries at the game.

    In preseason I said:
    Rockets 7-18 in first 25 games...then 27-30 after that for 34 wins.

    Rockets went 8-17 in first 25 games....tonight the Rockets got
    one of those 26 needed for that 34 wins. 25 more to go.

    4/5 from bari 3/3 from 3. You have to get him more shots on nights like this just to build him up. Jalen was 7/17 and kpj was 6/16. These guys need to learn to find the hot hand if they don’t have it specifically KP.

    Good win. Getting a little worried about our lottery positioning though. Not the year to be in the lower middle. Maybe the basketball gods will reward us for the effort but I’d rather have the numbers on our side.

    The Rockets led this game wire to wire.

    I'm having mixed feelings about this.

    You're whining about the player that was a team high +22....

    Would it be better if he had better shot selection? Sure, but he team CLEARLY played better with him on the court.... and yet you cry about it.

    It's comedy at this point.

    I think green was hot, he was scoring with ease. 26 pts with 7/17 is good. Kpj on the other hand scored only 18 pts. how he could only score 4 pts more than smith while taking 11 more shots is asinine.

    Porter shoots too much....
    33minutes FG: 6-16 #-pointers: 2-8

    At one point Jabari was 4 of 4...Silas needs to tell his point guard to spread the ball, not hero ball

    Where’s all the “we had the same record at this point last season” people at?

    This team is much better than last year. If you can’t see that, I don’t know what to tell you.

    He was so gassed on those 2 final putt like shots from playing volleyball with the rebounds. 16 rebounds plus another 5 or 6 tip backs.
    Ugh, Jabari can't have just 5 looks at the basket. Gordon trade would clear that up.

    First time since March 9-11 2019, that we have held consecutive opponents to under 100 points. we had three straight games of doing that back then.

    Using plus minus to illustrate KPJ’s effectiveness is baffling considering he plays all his minutes with Green and Smith.

    Jabari hit a shot over Paul and next possession down he is left open and KPJ ISO’s for a turnover. Get the hot players the ball.
