    Sad week of basketball, losing to portland and these bozos. If Rockets had come out like they finished, it would have been another blow out win.
    Still not over Portand. Take the foul don't let Grant shoot the three what the f' are you doing!
    Not going to win many games shooting 28% from three.

    When’s the parade. Get off his nuts for Fck sake. You’re deep throating comically

    he played a 10 win Charlotte team and played dumb tonight with his usual inefficiency and westbrick level decision making and they lost. Wohoooooo

    but yayyy I grabbed rebs in my 3rd year

    Not excusing our "play only half a game performance" but the Rockets have every right to protest this game and replay the final seconds from the jump ball.

    Does anyone think that if the roles were reversed here, the refs wouldn't call the foul on Amen before the inbounds? We got ****ed twice here

    He learned that from KPJ and still hasnt unlearned it yet. My only hope for him is that his leap in efficiency and defense with come next year because we are screwed if it doesnt. The rockets will not want to send him to the bench.

    We played horrible in last 3 mins when the gap is 5 pts, but Ime never call timeout to adjust until 19s left that time is not enough.

    What was Ime doing? He is not immune to criticism for the loss.

    It's even funnier when you realise Whitmore is even better at rebounding the ball than Jalen Green.

    The one thing Jalen lovers clamour over this year (because it's literally the only positive he has going for him), is still something the 19 year old rookie clowns the third year #2 pick in.

    What happened there was Bridges sagged off whitmore concerned with Jalen dribble drive from the wing. That left Cam open. Team game.

    I think we are doing fine. Sengun's took a massive leap, Cam's improving rapidly, Amen looks like a high iq player who will have chemistry with anyone on the floor. Jabari is doing fine. Tari is insane. We just need to ship Green, Landale and Tate, get a backup big and we are cooking.

    He’s a good hub, and when game close he’s great to play through .. but he doesn’t sway games (yet) … can’t trade 2s for 3s … can’t comeback playing slow .. He has room to grow and I believe he will in a few of those areas

    He may have a shot at improving his free throw percentage but I wouldn't count on him developing a three ball.
    He's 6/28 (21%) since Christmas.

    3pt shot aside

    we started making that run when we put in Tate . Dude came in at some point in the 3rd and then didn’t come out .

    can’t wait for Tate / tari combo again . Even better when smith comes in with them too .

    put in FVV (until amen is ready ) and that’s a great 4 man group .

    tate did a really good job . Guy is asked to guard all 5 positions and gets no respect from refs .

    refs were really bad tonight . There was that 2 min stretch I think late in the 3rd , both teams were literally going to the rack and getting hammered with no call . Then they started calling it really soft .

    bad job .

    One of the most inconsistent jobs I’ve seen
