    Then the ref earned his payoff.

    If anyone can watch the final secs of that game & not be frustrated then I need whatever drug you're on cuz wtf. I get it, we're tanking, wining this game wouldn't have changed our chances at the #1 pick, we've been the worst team in the league over 2 yrs now

    I wanted Jalen to get a nice W after playing such a good game in his last pre-21 match…

    I wanted Alpi to get that triple double after being screwed by the refs.

    Neither happened, but it was a fun game, I guess—and ultimately inconsequential.

    I’m seeing improvement. Finally.

    Glad I didn't spend my night watching this one and I don't plan on watching many more the rest of the year. I'm in on Draft Lottery night and Draft night and I'll be checking out the Rockets come October but I'm pretty well out for the summer at this point. This has been THE worst performing season for all players and staff (outside of Sengun) that I have ever seen in 30 years of watching this team.

    I’d rather do the usual and lose by 20 than lose like this…all that excitement and hype I had just killed in an instant

    Gordon is known for turnovers and bad plays down the stretch.

    No, the angle shows it best bc you can see there’s no contact. He kicked backwards! Nobody shoots and their legs go back, but they wiped Jalen’s bc his leg went forward? Not to mention Jalen got hit on the arm. It wasn’t a foul, cut the bullshit

    Silas: "It feels a lot better to play like this than before" (when they lost by 20)

    Not me, man. Losing by 20 every night makes me think the team just flat out sucks (or we're tanking... lol). Losing by 1 to a winning/playoff team makes me think we have hope (after this season).

    Yep. We just have dumb a** players, coaches, office personnel, owner, everything. All I can do is laugh. It's like the twilight zone.

    It's a pity Silas gets paid in free dinners at Bubba Gump Shrimp so he can't afford to say what he really thinks about the refs.

    There was no foul.
    I’m more concerned about Stone twiddling his thumbs and doing nothing with Gordon.

    There’s an angle from behind the Kings basket that shows a gap between fox and Gordon. No one on Twitter seems to be showing that view.

    Same here. I honestly never liked him here, won’t miss him when he leaves.
