    I disagree with some of the negativity here.

    Yes, Alpi could’ve played better on defense but he was giving effort against a very tough offensive squad.

    Jalen didn’t do great in the 4th but he also didn’t play outside of the offense and was a good playmaker throughout the game (and EFFICIENT)

    we’re looking for growth, right? So when we actually see it why are we b****ing? Our entire starting five was efficient and good for the most part. We’re not going to win every game, like chill

    My complaints tonite were being absent on team defense. Like he’s clueless. I coach some junior high kids on a tournamnet team who understand team defense better than that.

    They had damn near 30 2nd chance points.

    Rebound the ball, we win.

    On to the next one.

    The Rockets played great against a contender on the road, just couldn't get the defensive rebounds. GG.

    At the end Jabari had no room to operate due to Sengun brining Lopez to the paint. There was miss communication where Jabari was feeling it but Sengun wanted to do his work when he was getting schooled by Lopez

    All the green comments the minute he does something wrong is the biggest bummer. Get over it his shot wasn't the only bad possession. Stop making it seem like he took like 50 percent of the shots. He didn't even touch the ball that much

    Nothing should happen until next offseason, so just Clayton Williams it.

    We shot better, had more assists and less turnovers, Milwaukee was faster to some lose balls today.

    Frustrating way to lose...but we didn't look remotely outclassed by Milwaukee, go get em tomorrow.

    pls use 'witnessing improvement' to replace 'waiting improvement'.

    Sometimes I wonder the incessant spam posts after singular bad possessions of Green come from bots.

    for real man. Dame had 30+ and Giannis had 27 with almost 30 second chance points I would think the rockets lost 40.

    The bucks are really good. Giannis might be the best player in the league. Dame is one of the best scoring guards in the league. This is a championship team, and the rockets fought hard. If the game had slightly less lopsided officiating we would've been right in it. And yet we still have the usual village idiots screaming to trade Jalen and Sengun.

    Can you imagine if every team traded players who couldn't guard Dame and Giannis? Nobody would be able to field a team.

    Did you watch his first 3 quarters? I don't care what people do in a quarter the only score that matters is at the end of the game.

    Jeff doesn't play SG and Tari played PF. Green's backup Tate had 0 pts in 15 mins, his other backup Holiday had 0 pts in 12 mins, the Rox got out rebounded by like 20, Lillard went off for 32 on 57% 3pt shooting but hey forget all that Jalen Green is the problem even though he had 16/2/7 on 57% FG along with 50% from 3.

    Can you be anymore of a hater?
