    In the 1st half Minny was shooting worse and turned it over that is why the game was close.

    If Bari is what you found to jump on...you have severe tunnel vision. There are way more serious issues than him. I love the Rockets as much as anyone but, he has to be discouraged because he definitely has not been involved in the offense. I'm starting to wonder if he might fit better on another team. I'm not sure he will realize his potential with the Rockets nor will the Rockets realize what they could. I'll say this....bum ankle he plays after 4 games, he's not out a month or so.

    Jabari and Green are the expendables. Build around Sengun, Amen, Whitmore and Tari.

    Who’s our 2nd best player? Fred and Dillon has been sub par recently and Jalen and Bari has been inconsistent to be our 2nd best.

    My gosh our roster sux…

    That is on Udoka, Udoka had schematic plans to get Jalen Green going, Fred VV going, Sengün going...

    But not really Jabari to a great extent.....

    Towns came into the league in 2015. Since then, they've had only 3 seasons of 40+ wins. We were never going to become a juggernaut in the first season with 3/5 of the line up 21 and under. Take the bumps.
    The only thing that saddens me is that I thought Green would be on Edwards level this year. Oopsies. Keep going, next game.

    Udoka should talk to Cam Whitmore and say that basketball is a game of 5 players, for example there is such a thing as passing, yes he is a rookie but I have never watched such a selfish player in my life.

    We absolutely don't fair well against teams with size. As great offensively as Sengun is , he leaves a LOT, I mean a LOT to be desired defensively. Adams will really help next year.FVV isn't setting the woods on fire himself. You think FVV and Brooks are settling our young guys down (experience). Uhh...no, not really. His shooting is nothing to get excited about.

    Not much to talk about here. We don't have the horses to run with the NBA's elite squadrons.

    Whats up with Jabari hate? We all saw how bad our team was Jabari was out and we still play somewhat competitive when he is on the floor even with lack of offense he generate. He never really recover from the first ankle injury and he is playing less minutes than before due to that reason. I can clearly see he cannot jump like he used to pre 2nd injury. If Tari was playing he would’ve been still out

    Usually, I would agree with you but he is usually on the court with guys who couldn't make a jump shot to save their lives. The coaching staff probably encourages him to take those shots.
