    We were significantly worse when Alpi was not on the floor.

    We desperately need a scorer guard. Maybe Zach Lavine? Why not? His value is not high nowadays.

    But Jalen is the next Kobe. Only resemblance I see is the shot taking.

    Jalen Green is back to the iso game. Ime needs to sit him down and get the team to move the ball again. Jalen is also bad defensively. I hope Ime doesn't make substitutions when the players on the floor are making a run. Rockets need to get back to moving the ball and get rid of Green's over dribbling.

    Now you realize his early lack of fundamentals...

    SloMo could teach him something how to play slow and still get it done.

    It was the turnovers that caused Lakers run.

    1 bad play on defense on the attempted seal off on Davis and 2 missed bunnies inside the paint. It wasn't the reason they were slipping. see Reeves on offense and defense.

    Austin Reaves is scrawny…he plays with AD and Lebron and has a Los Angeles Lakers boost

    put Jalen Green in LA and he’s averaging 8+ free throws a game

    It’s a lose lose situation tonight.

    It’s either deal with Hollins’ BS or hear Laker’s commentary suck off LeBron. Just brutal.

    The refereeing has been terrible but the Rockets made it worse by running a pale shadow of organized offense in the 2nd. We’re letting Jalen Green “initiate” which means a ton of over dribbling and bad shots. When he drives to the basket he has such a predictable route (same zig zag pattern every time) that the Fakers are able to predict exactly where he’ll be going up for the basket and can defend accordingly.

    I just don’t see it with the guy - his successful nights are entirely the result of getting hot while shooting difficult shots. He never - and I mean NEVER - generates easy looks for himself.

    he is only 21................you can't put on 7 years of muscle in just 2 off-seasons. Reaves is older as well. Players are going to get scored on, no matter the size of them.
