    I am not gonna argue over Jalen Green tonight. We are better without him and Fred chucking and playing bad defense and Im tired of being treated like a hater for saying it. Him not being who he is supposed to be is the reason we look like we do. It was a waste of a ****ing 2nd pick.

    One of the dumbest shots I’ve seen in years, given the timing and personnel. Step-back, 45 degree three point shot…does he ever work on that shot? When?

    Awful loss, but I'm glad they didnt give up. Just another learning lesson. you can't just walk in thinking you are going to win.

    If they had the same amount of effort in the 2nd half throughout, they would have won by 20

    Nah, there's this one play he had the fast break, but he for some reason decided to pull the ball back and let the defense set and then realized he should have just drove in so he forced it on 3 people and got stripped.

    I don't even think he got fouled, because he was holding his hair after like he knew he ****ed up

    It's good how the refs making egregious mistakes like the missed out of bounds call, the non jump ball and the dodgy 3 point call doesn't affect the final result at all.

    The NBA is an excellent entertainment product because of superstars like Ben Taylor. I LOVE IT

    That’s reportedly why teams stayed away. He averaged 0.7 assists at Villanova. That means multiple games he had 0 assists. He reminds me of big scoring talents the likes if Caron Butler or Michael Beasley. Players that put up offensive numbers but little else.

    True, I sometimes get so caught up in some of the late game errors that I forget the good parts of his game…I’m rooting for Jalen harder then anyone besides his family members, I’m assuming—that’s why I want him to do well and get bummed out when he doesn’t

    I keep telling y'all IM NOT HATING. Sengun is just not Him. Good offensive skill player around the basket BUT what else??

    Defense, NO! Rebound, NO! Mid-range game, NO! 3PT Shot, NO! Your franchise player has to be good at several things

    FVV was pretty sloppy all around today, how many times did he just fumble the ball without any pressure

    he got killed for having 0 rebounds against Portland and has responded by having 20 in the next two games

    Absolutely, everything I’ve been complaining about that happened late wouldn’t have even been on the table had we done our job and at least played them evenly in the first.

    I’m really glad we pulled a little bit of fun out of a horrid night but it never needed to come to this

    i hope one day jalen will realise this is a professional basketball league. and then maybe he wont drive to 3 players under the rim while everybody open..

    his personal high scores does not mean anything to me. three years passed and his basketball iq and team play only improved as my english. lol.

    i like cam whitmores confidence btw After all these rookie mistakes, wrong decisions he will be vital part of houston in 1-2 years im sure.

    and Fvv 3pt was 9-1 today. His Portland game was problematic also. ( i guess 12-2 or smth ) He should show his star sign more on shooting.
    We need him. Anyway, painful game but comeback from 27 to 4 is nice. This team can win everything. I believe Ime and his team. Go Rockets!

    I don't know how many times this has been said so far this year.

    If it's still being said after the trade deadline, I don't know what I'll do.
