    We can beat anyone but them. They are bigger than us at every position and they have 2 guys can go off any time.

    You’re playing up to gobert’s strength by posting up sengun. He’s useless when he has to step outside of the paint.

    Is Boban coming in? These Minny fans don't deserve Boban.

    I think this is the game we will look back on post Green trade. He had a solid run there (against mediocre or bad teams) that was throwing doubt in people's minds but, at the end of the day, we need to move on.

    This is not completely true, @Houston77 holds him to allstar standards, so that must be awkward

    We are too damn inconsistent. If Jalen had even a decent shooting night, he would’ve put a lot more pressure on the defense and prevent them from collapsing on Alpi every single time—but Jalen probably had one if the worst shooting games in the NBA this season and the rest of our squad wasn’t much better.

    Unfun loss, nothing really gained by watching this game, to be honest. I hope we DON’T make any big changes this season, though…the guys are definitely growing and improving

    Interesting that the guys we took fliers on were Villanova and UH kids…I doubt that’s an accident. Great programs that feature defense and rebounding.

    He is 5th among power forwards in rebounds per game. His rebounding is not generally a problem, and when it is it's almost always because he's getting outmuscled due to being a skinny 20yo.

    I still think Jabari is going to be a good starter in the NBA. He has taken a real step forward this season and just needs to do it again next season while adding some muscle mass and he'll already be an above average starting PF.

    That said, I don't know if I'm with those who think he is untouchable. For me his best case is a low-end/fringey all-star, so he is available for an upgrade at the 4 spot. But that would have to be a guy at least at Lauri, JJJ kind of level as a player. Anything less and you just hold onto Bari.

    He’s a damn role player. We need to trade his ass while he still has some perceived value.

    I think Cam is definitely the future. We need to move on from jalen or send him to the bench as 6th man but for sure cam has the dog attitude and spirt the Rockets need.

    I knew Sengun would be a star when he was a rookie, but Silas would not let him play. Cam is our best shooter and our 3rd best player on the team…Sengun and Cam is our best players but Amen is part of our core…do not forget Tari
