    the dumb techs tate got ejected and brooks was in foul trouble in the first quarter. idk if it's incompetence from the female ref or it was intentional ****ery.

    I'm just glad our young guys are getting a chance to grow in a positive environment. Like Jalen, for example, didn't really play well tonight--but the positives that he brought helped to contribute to the win, and that kind of stuff sticks with you.

    Jabari and honestly Tari both were a little out of their element tonight, but also did some good things--Bari with his timely buckets and Tari creating havoc as usual.

    That's good coaching. That's good leadership. THAT'S OUR ROCKETS!

    I hope we can keep it going. None of us expect to win every game. But now, seeing continued progress, continuity, and improvement are not out of the question. It's all I could have asked for. What a fun run so far for our guys.

    Yeah but you do not celebrate under Ime, you celebrate after the season is over.

    That is what I like about that coach.

    Of course you can celebrate, you are a fan.

    Silas got us Green, Jabari and Amen. I'm good with that. Just like Bo Porter got us Bregman and Tucker. Well technically he got us Aiken, Fisher and Reed and we had to fire his ass the next season to get Bregs and Tuck but still.

    No more overreaction from our players after a good bucket. No more surprised celebrations after a win. It feels like they know that winning should be expected now.

    He said it when interviewed by Vanessa Richardson after the game. He mentioned the atmosphere was great, like a fake playoff game.

    Rockets are improving. I'm loving the defensive improvement.

    The next challenge is winning on the road. A feat that many young/fake teams struggle with.

    Time will tell. We're all watching......

    Right now, Ime is a big homie like Demeco and Stroud.

    H-Town is representing

    It was an In season tourney thing, you felt the officiating was more like a Road game.

    Rockets are fighting in road games, but I see a lot of improvement, I would have liked if Jabari made the dagger instead of Fred because that would mean you do not have to extend FVV after the 2 years.

    You have to map out how you keep the younger players.

    A little concerned because while the veterans help, they are more closers than helpers right now.

    The problem is, without the tanking you don't get the young talent to begin with.

    The Thunder are good. Without Fox, I’d expect them to win that game. The Kings need him back desperately. Davion Mitchell is a good defensive guard, but he’s not someone who can yet run an NBA offense.

    Since Harden left, came back with the Nets and got worked by Gary Bird.
