    Don't want any tension - Don't watch the Rockets or spend any money on merchandise or tickets

    Watch the game - i don't love Tate but he was the only remotely bright spot for the team and orchestrated the only coherent offense all night.

    Smith was rancid all night on both sides - he deserved to sit down. Eason was nothing special.

    Player who needed to sit was Garuba - he's pointless when you're down and can't score

    I hope we get Wemby just for the chaos it will cause on this forum.

    SoFs v JoFs v WoFs

    Going to be world war around here.

    been on this forum quite sometime and can't even paint the right war situation.

    Rn it's basically

    SoF v KPJoFs (quite sure the two threads about the respective players are most active)
    while both side pepper Jalen and Jabari in the crossfire to push their stance.

    Smith really seems to b the one being hit hardest by everybody with very little folks defending him

    Remember when many people here said the core is set and we should stop tanking/another top pick isn't needed? :oops:

    Tate is so refreshing, even after 1 game he's won me over to the no trade and start him now camp. I'm serious when I say I'd put him at the PG position too. This guy creates more than any person on our team, only one who can consistently create fast break opportunities, even when they're not there, talks on defense, knows where to be and just our smartest and hardest working defender. Bar none! Sengun was the other one who really stood out, that work on Kessler, ooohh that was sweet :)

    I'm really starting to get pissed off by Green, KPJ & Jabari. With each game they show their flaws and then Green just not having the work ethic on defense, KPJ and Green just trying to get their shot with their minds made up, Jabari with his big mouth, not running back after plays, getting on others while they cannot and refuse to make any changes or do it themselves etc. We need a coach who gets on those guys in practice, has a system and takes them out when they consistently blow assignments, pout, refuse to get back etc.

    Gordon needs to be traded, 2 center rotation and actually play Boban when they have a big like Kessler and Markkanen abusing our "bigs", Mathews can stay on the bench. TyTy unfortunately won't see the court anymore with Tate's guard skills and Gordon here. Kudos to Silas though, solid rotation tonight!

    always loved tate's game, hes a serious baller, & would disagree that he creates most on our team, that would be sengun of course, and I always believed tate could be the PG...i dont mind really if Tate cant shoot..

    3 pt is a fools gold anyway...and only those that cant ball really need it...I'd take tate as the pg over anyone on this team except alperen sengun...the kid is just natural at it and may be one of the best in the entire nba

    1 vs 1 tate vs alperen sengun bb game one on one?...

    sengun would have eaten him alive

    this is what happens when you not engage or include alperen sengun the best rockets player by far!

    i told you, tanking never works, and infusion of more talent never works cause, guess what, these guys are talented, the lack talent is never the problem in the first place, errybody is talented in nba, its always the management and coaching that is the real problem...

    god bless you your so optimistic and positive imho not even getting durant or steph carry would put this mess of a team on the right track...
    basketball just doesn't work that way...

    the lack of talent is not the problem of this team...and youd be drooling over the guys we have now if they were to be featured on warriors or celtics...

    or if they were the new shinny prospects/toys waiting to enter the nba scene from college or ignite
