    Exactly my question. Surely Silas knew anyone could have shot that, right?

    You just can’t sit KPJ and Sengun although they have negative +/- since they are all you have to develop.

    Paolo is an elite prospect but Wagner is alright. There's a very good chance that what you see of him right now is the best you're getting of him, I doubt many teams are going to build around him, structure a franchise around him, etc.

    Green is a way better prospect than Wagner, I'm pretty sure NBA GMs would agree with that, based on where they were drafted. Like NBA GMs when polled both think Green and Bari will be great players in 5 years. NBA GMs do not typically give up on players that barely have 3 years of experience.

    No way in hell Silas can be here next season. Absolutely no way. This team is an abomination.

    KPJ was about to do something great and the refs stopped him

    Im just wondering, we have games where we play great in the first half and get absolutely decimated in the second. Are teams adjusting or are the players just doing something different, Im inclined to believe the former.

    I actually think the Rockets are generating pretty decent looks, they just can’t hit the broad side of a barn right now.

    It’s frustrating but expected

    One of the worst coached basketball teams AT ANY LEVEL that I’ve ever seen. wow

    the rockets had a 20 point lead in this game at one point. And I dont even remember it

    LOL, quite the spin to deflect from the fact that everyone on the team other than KPJ can't hit a 3 to save their life.

    Yeah this loss is on a lack of accountability, sticking with Green & KPJ as starters and no leadership.

    We need some shooters urgently. I think KPJ may be our best 3 pt shooter right now which is sad.

    All teams have the ability to turn another gear. We don't. We can catch teams off guard in the first, but then they start playing seriously and we are exposed

    We use up too many of our makes in the warmups.

    These kids don't understand that there is only a finite amount of shots you can make in 1 day. They never save any for the second half
