    Not disagreeing that jalen is not leading the bench group, because imo he's not.

    But the bolded isn't really true.

    You can look at the lineup minutes log, but jalen doesnt really run an offense very often without alperen

    On the contrary. The Rockets are shooting to make the Play-in this year. Thats all they have been talking about.

    I think they need a legit backup center and a starting SG

    I get tired of this happening. Tonight was one of many nights I've thought the same thing.

    Rough stretch of basketball. I'm going to go watch some Texans highlights. Maybe by then Stone will log off Xivenchy hoodie website and make a deal with Washington. You got to give up something to get something. Not holding my breath.

    I would say that Jalen was actually doing ok playing on ball besides his horrible shooting. He turned it over but also generated a lot of opportunities and even a few open shots that we missed (as per usual).

    Cam barely touched the ball when he was in with Fred as well, and he looked a little out of sorts this game so maybe he wouldn’t be the best example to give tonight…

    I’d like to see some of the Amen/Jalen/Cam garbage time lineup that we saw last game. It might be a disaster, but it’ll be fun and fast and might change the rhythm of a rhythm-less game.

    Obviously I have no say in how the Rockets do anything, to all of our benefit, but that would be my couple of cents

    They gotta get jabari more shots. I dont know what needs to happen, but more offense needs to start going through him.

    Biscuit means double cooked. We don't have personnel for the first cooking, never mind the second one.

    No biscuit.

    There's a hierarchy problem in this team. I don't see Jalen as an NBA player anymore. He's nothing. But today fvv made his rivalry with brunson personal, he wanted to answer him after every point brunson scored. Is it just me or does anyone else think like me?

    Jabari is very comfortable and all to willing to be a bystander while Jalen Green chucks up bricks and FVV aka Plain Oatmeal tries and fails to carry the team

    Thanks Pistons for not killing us in last second.

    That Olajuwon guy was pretty good.

    Barkley just missed it ‘97 with 19.2/13.5

    This team doesn't have a reliable shot creator or slasher. They don't have the luxury of not hitting their long distance shots.

    Even early on, this game didn't feel right. Whatever special stuff we had for our good stretch earlier this season, we've lost it.

    6-12 in our past 18 games. The honeymoon period is over

    We have Alperen the Baker, but he can’t cook if nobody else gives him space
