    This game surprised me how good Sengoat is.

    I mean he was already playing crazy this season, but last 8 mins he was insane. I know FVV closed this game out like anti Cp3, but Sengoat was the one who made it all possible. Dude had like 4 consecutively great possessions, scoring an And 1, getting multiple steals and blocks. He was even diving on the floor for loose balls all the while battling JV for every inch.

    And he was doing it on a bum ankle? If Wemby did that NBA media would be jizzing themselves.

    As for Pelicans they are a crazy good team, they have 2 Allstars and a bunch of lengthy and athletic defenders. People forgot but last year they lead the entire league before Zion went down with injury.

    Rockets are lucky CJ Mcollum, Herb Jones, Max Alvaredo all out with injury otherwise Rox would have lost this game esp with all the ref cooking.

    guess we won’t go far

    Jabari is not your guy. He will never be that guy. He is your 7th option on a decent team.

    Agree.

    Wait, he was talking about his game vs. the Jazz. :D Well, I still agree. They were fu*king atrocious here too.

    I'm a big Jabari fan but he was a clear negative on the floor tonight. Seems hard to believe he had 7 rebs. All of them must have come off missed Pelican FTs.

    Chill. Breh, everyone has a right to their opinion.....I don't understand why that bothers you.

    Disagreement is common.

    It should not bother you in a forum at least.

    If you want to gather with like minded, there are plenty others.

    What logic is that.....only the team can be resilient but fans cannot?

    Quoting Jerry Sloan. Cold.

    It's gonna be ironic if all my complaints about the '90s Jazz (basically, that they played football on a basketball court) end up being things I praise about the '20s Rockets.

    The plan:

    Sengun - smaller but more agile Jokic
    Green - bigger significantly more athletic but worse shooting Murray
    Jabari - taller MPJ

    Edit: and then we have these wild cards in Amen and Cam.

    When Jabari finally figures it out, we will b a very scary team. Green and sengun are doing quite well for year 3

    Try reading my post again. I said “tanking the way they did under Silas.” That means tanking so with no accountability or discipline for lazy, sloppy effort. Believe it or not, you can tank while disciplining young players for lazy effort, especially on the defensive end. All those times the young Rockets couldn’t be bothered to give a rats ass defensively or run a play correctly offensively, you immediately sub them out and put in someone willing to play hard. The Rockets didn’t have the necessary components to win either way. They still would have been one of the worst teams in the league, regardless.

    Holy s***, I can't believe we won this. That was one of the worst officiated game against the rockets I've seen. NO shooting free throws multiple times on non-shooting fouls. That missed goaltend for Jalen Green. We still pulled through somehow. Let's go!
