    We alright. Ya the refs were ass but that’s what happens when you play a team with 4 household names in their house, in LA. They will learn from this. Let the secret harden fans enjoy their win tonight.

    SOSDD from the same old people. Not Jalen's fault either. If you are truly looking for a scapegoat...try the real one...the refs.It's an absolute crying crying shame..Calvin is saying we had 14 TO in the 2nd half (of 16) ...also saying we played excellent defense.

    Jesus you don’t quit - he locked up one guy on one play. He hit one wide open 3 that was set up entirely by Sengun. Otherwise he was a total nonfactor, and this against a team that had no size whatsoever.

    We need a real PF in the worst way. Jabari is not an NBA starter.

    Nba scheduling is so stupid. No team should be chillin in an away city for this long. Rockets will be in La for a week before heading to San Fran.

    with the amount of folks btching about how bad jalen green is this game, he must have been sucking his way into a 6 game win streak instead of contributing huh.

    I swear the moment we start losing the jalen green haters come out of their hole to celebrate. most of them just box score watch and it shows.

    Which players were sucking exactly? I can't think of any guys outside of Bari unless you consider having a bad shooting night sucking.

    We all knew what was coming, a teen wolf iso. Tate was loafing showing too much help on Bari's man. It allowed Teen wolf to catch the pass in his comfort zone.

    Needed to take care of the ball more down the stretch. Tired of complaining about refs/umps. One job, do it, mfers.

    True, I overlooked this while I was watching the refs play Oceans 11 with an NBA game.

    Landale looks like he is borderline cuttable.

    I just saw PJ Tucker’s statline…0’s across the board and a -24 in 15 minutes

    he’s really just out there for cardio

    Man was on the court but he was literally just there to run back and forth and occasionally lose the ball. So god dam useless

    That second Jalen turnover you clearly see Leonard grabbed his arm which caused he turnover. I’m not absolving Jalen of the layup blunder but that second turnover was a deliberate missed call. These refs are the worst. Why did udoka use that challenge so early?

    I'm thinking the same lol, you don't quit. He locked up one guy on ONE play just confirms you have no idea what good defense is.

    And? So what? Did he make the three or not?

    Lol you are literally the only person blaming Jabari for this loss tonight.

    The lesson in this game is that the refs can dictate the outcome of games. It's sad that the NBA allows this brazen display of bias in the officiating. This game is just so outstanding as far as the refs are concerned. Sad.

    Let's wait to see the 2min report, there's no fking way the refs call the ending cleanly.

    P Georgianna mugs Alpi. No call

    Spectrum-Leonard grabs a holt of J Greens wrist. No call.


    *** THIS LEAGUE.

    This is the last Rockets era that I will watch if the league doesn’t find integrity, consistency and fairness within the next decade
