    wanted him to finish out the game against his old team on ring night. Interesting move but he stuck with it. Liked the move tho out of a timeout after Tari tried to do too much and got trapped. He got excited after couple big plays when Rockets were rolling. Udoka put ball in Tari’s hands to make a play. Great coaching there.

    Why do I feel like we played Denver 8 times already this season

    Rockets seems -at least at the moment- better team than both even playing without two '23 FRPs and having undersized front-court bench players

    Dunno man. They cheated for DEN down the stretch when DEN held almost every play and Jokic shoved a rockets player-jalen I believe. Murray should have gotten a tech earlier and kept yelling at refs. Refs had enough

    Thankfully that didn't appear in 'images preceding unfortunate events'.

    No one on the planet would've looked at our schedule and said we're going 10-9 through it.

    Just an unbelievable turn around on Udoka's part. Jalen won us the game tonight in the 3rd. Too big of a mountain to overcome for Denver.

    If they were cheating for Denver than Murray never would've gotten upset. They also wouldn't have enough of Murray if the goal was to let Denver win, it's not like the home crowd had enough of Murray.

    facts. Murray kept doing overt shi+ before the T’s. refs gave DEN a lot of leeway

    Is the Black Mumble still not good? Should we trade him for Scoot Henderson?

    I just think they stopped calling contact all of a sudden and players started mailing each other more after every possession. One of the worst reffed games. We just didn't b**** as much as Murray

    Before the game Nuggets commentator was asking to the other guy " how to be multiple champions" type of question. I am little bit surprised about " spoiled child" behaviours of Nuggets players, especially MPJ and Murray.

    They can't win again with this mentality.

    They at least owe it to their home fans to verbally go after it when they could not do it on the court.

    It is like a script, it unfolded.
    It was probably not the classiest way but I guess it got the crowd going there for a few minutes in a potential total blowout.

    The Rockets have the easiest remaining schedule in the West.

    We barely have played any of the scrub eastern conference teams like the Pistons.

    I love the Black Mumble. Don't know why fools here want to trade him.

    Lol Sengun is demi god according to these people. One thing I noticed tho is when Sengun isn’t guarding Jokic or a big in the low block due to switching etc he does a soft double and doesn’t put his hands up sometimes. Doesn’t close out that double on the low post.
