    The Rockets need a point guard

    JG - Pablo (=)
    Franz is better than EG / KMJ / Tari /
    Fultz better than KPJ
    Bol Bol / Bamba better than Garuba / Fernando … and Sengun (defensive side)

    The talent gap isn’t huge but Orlando has more specially in the bigs department

    Stopped watching about 3 minutes left but I think I'm done wasting my time watching this team unless something drastic happens. They appear to be *regressing* at this point. Gordon's body language is bad. Sengun's body language is bad. It's only a matter of time before Jabari's body language does the same.

    Bring on the draft I guess. The staff is doing wonders with the talent we've drafted so far.

    Don’t bet your kidneys on Silas. He is very creative.

    his height and lankiness definitely sticks out

    if Jonathan Isaac ever suits up again, that trio of Isaac, Bol Bol, and Bamba could be crazy

    Didn't get to see this game tonight, but after listening to post game commentary and looking at the stats. There's a continuation of glaring issues. Agreed passing/turnovers which leads to steals is disgusting to watch EVERY GAME! I mean, trying to prove how good a passer you are, fancy passing & not reading the defense is pathetic.

    That's a lack of discipline, awareness, and concentration. If you can't take care of the ball, go sit and ride the pine till you learn to be more alert of your surroundings when you pass the ball! Oh yea, does coaching play a role in that at all?

    KPJ isn't and will never be a starting PG for any non-garbage team

    Anybody who's a NIX with his TRICKS fan, please raise your hand so everyone knows! This dude BLOWS! Throws the ball into the 5th row to fans! Unless Ty Ty was hurt tonight, I don't understand why he don't get more play time. Looked way better than Nix last time out! Maybe Nix is a relative of one of our coaches...And they played him 13min. tonight.. 0-4 - ZERO POINTS....Just WOW!!!

    Watching Sengun get so frustrated at Nix of all people blowing him up and waving him off had me staring in disbelief.

    I can't wait to watch Sengun with a proper coach and teammates who appreciate him outside of H-Town.

    When Porter is in I'm not liking it... when Nix is in I'm hating it.

    We are back to being stuck at thick 6'8's and 6'9"s with skinny 6'10.

    Why did Jalen Green have 21 points in the middle of the 3rd quarter then at the end of this game he has 21 points? Is this because of KPJ or Silas too?

    jalen is way too passive during clutch moments. Lack of Ball usage isn’t on him entirely though. KPJ wanna play street ball all the time, that’s a bigger problem.

    This is very upsetting. Sengun's activity is lower than at the beginning of the season. He scores on average less in the last 10-15 games than he used to in first 10-15. Maybe that's the reason. So fcking dumb on coaching staff's part if they can not help these kids build a team identity outside of the court. Such a shame really...

    Silas is the worst coach in the NBA by far but KPJ's ball hog mentality has nothing to do with him.

    He has been a ball hog since the beginning of his career…Silas just made the way KPJ plays even worse by pampering him as if he is his adopted son. KPJ feel like his throne of mediocrity is even stronger now, thanks to Silas.

    A real coach would bench him by now and give him a lesson of how to be a team player.
