    well, hold on a sec. We didn’t have Dillon and Fred… But yeah, Udoka is a massive upgrade, no question

    Minutes are earned. It’s a good lesson for the young guys. That’s one reason I’m not a big fan of tanking like the Rockets did under Silas. You let young players develop really poor habits doing it that way.

    Man FVV and Dillon are great, but if we had them last year Silas would have ****ed it up. I guarantee. Ime would have had the Rockets team last year above or at 30 wins.

    Right after saying that, Jeff Green came in and Rockets won the game there.

    Jeff Green should be a mentor for Jabari.

    Tate should be a mentor for Tari Eason.

    edit: hell, brooks could be a mentor for Tari.

    This game reminded me of the game where KD was 3 steps out of bounds and the Rockets somehow still pulled off a victory.

    I was getting so mad watching the amount of blatant no calls they gave us and then just called ticky tack fouls on our guys the whole game. How do they miss that goal tending on jalens and 1. Then we turn around to hit dagger threes at the end to win. Love it.

    this win won’t distract me from the fact that these refs were engaging in fckery of epic proportions

    Yeah, it clearly did. I don't know why people want to fight it. It's a gimmick, of course, but it's working so far.

    We would have never been able to come back and win this game last season. The Pelicans were missing CJ, TM and HJ but they had the bigger stars in Zion and Ingram.
    5-3 is amazing. Go Houston Rockets!

    The Kings are better at home and have been playing without De’Aaron Fox, their best player and engine on offense. That said, the Rockets are winning these games because they are taking pride on the defensive end. That is what is most impressive and sustainable long term.

    like the kd out of bound call, with our victory the refs incompetence would just b forgotten. i wish the nba actually hold their refs to a higher standard, cause the officiating this game was awful
