    Green the bystander in that defensive play did NOTHING.
    All effort by Alpe and Tate.

    Scott Foster games need a trigger warning.

    I'm having flashbacks and it's not great

    Do you think Silas is purposely tanking then and we will see real coaching from him after this season?

    Jalen is really just out there trying to play hero ball. Can’t stand it. He’s a straight up ball stopper.

    The Gordon thing had me baffled, too, but I think they're still dreaming they can get whatever maximum they can get for him by hoping he plays himself out of his shooting woes. If you bench the guy, why would anybody want to trade for him? I also am not of the opinion that if you lose a year of "development" on the court, the young players are doomed to being busts or something. Either that or they're happy with his mediocre play as it contributes to the tank. No clue on that one.

    Honestly, Martin is playing better than I thought he would be as a player. I just thought he was basically highlight material, so he's fooled me. I think the team may very well be overall a better team if you let those guys play ahead of Gordon in his current state except maybe Gordon still has some kind of calming effect on the court.

    Whatever the case, I'm willing to let it slide for this season. If we're still a 20-25 win team next season, I'll be moderately ticked.

    So when the tank is over The rockets will magically know how to play together, in the correct positions, and the right lineups? I don't think that's how it works. You can tank and play the players you think are good. Sit them when you're tanking like OKC. You dont see Giddey playing Power Forward in OKC for fun. Rocket not even playing the players they think are good. Thats weird.

    Goon with 19/5/8 with 3 minutes left in the 3rd. Where would he be if we were treating him like a cornerstone earlier?

    Wow..they have defense problems. Trying to double Sengun , then trying to double Green. It reminds me of the days when LA had that dynamic duo of Kobe and Shaq. We have the Dynamic Duo of Green and Sengun
