    Coach just said Green left Sengun out on an island. Jabari didn't rotate, then called Green out for not rotating on another play.

    But this is what GS does better than anyone keep everyone rotating until someone screws up.

    Can't believe we have to put up with Hollins for another season. How much suckage does the organization have to see before they drop this guy and get someone at least decent? Listening to Hollins is like sitting in a dentist chair and being drilled on.

    One thing I really liked is that during the long break after Jaesean Tate sprayed his blood all over the floor the cameras were on the Rockets the whole time.

    I could see Udoka pulling in the guys, communicating and leading. Our guys seemed to really respond well and seemed to be focused and composed. They looked like real pros. THAT is something. Maybe not a lot...but something

    I agree. I think the team will get better as the schedule lightens up.

    It's been a really tough luck start. Spurs game should have been a win. Orlando game they were not at all prepared. Tonight Curry made sure we took an L.

    When pretty pedestrian means a good game for a player, that should be a sign...

    I might be the only one but I thought GSW played a sub par game for their standards and the Rockets played well enough and still it was not enough.

    The other night Wemby learned to flip that switch in the last minutes.

    Guys

    We have a team full of AVERAGE players. No one is special.

    Rockets played a decent game overall. Warriors were held 6 points below their scoring average.

    Biggest difference was Houston's lack of shooting, particularly from 3 -- should be a season problem all year.

    Tough challenge for Ime in today's NBA without having shooters and no stars.

    Gonna be another loooong season.

    See this is why +/- can be soo misleading.
    I thought Jae'Sean played his heart out and was a BIGTIME positive in his time on the floor while Jabari had one of the WEAKEST 14-8 on 50% shooting and a +14 I've ever seen!
    I thought he was soft as Charmin myself.
    Even Steph and Klay both had negative +/- tonight.

    The efficiency wasn’t there, but the last two games were more in line with how I expected Jalen to perform this season. I’m not sure he’ll ever be a “good” shooter, but he moved the ball well and was crashing the boards today.

    During that first game I was a little worried because I didn’t see any improvement, but I’ve seen some and that’s encouraging.

    Sengün is still above average to very good.

    Had all that money and a chance to spend on some shooting and passed on ALL of it.

    Yup. The faster we realize this the better. We cashing in on Jalen and Jabari (and even Amen) being “it”.
    Stone won’t be retiring a rocket I tell you that

    Yeah, it sucks to give away two very winnable games back to back like that but this is a team with very young players in crucial roles.
    Plus half the rotation wasn't even on the roster last year.

    So I agree, a modicum of patience seems fair....for now.

    Honestly this team has been pretty unwatchable this season
