    Shepherd not good enough. No jeff green. Weird lineups. Poor shooting.

    I thought you said 5/15 from 3 was 55%, not Jalen's statline as a whole.

    The dude that killed the momentum? He played well in the first half, he just settled too much in the 2nd half.

    I'm starting to warm up to a new starting unit with Sengun, Amen, Tari, Jalen and Fred.

    I want to see how that looks as a starting unit.

    Bari is a comic at heart.

    If Fred carries on being a complete waste of shots I'd rather try Amen, Jalen, Tari, Sengun (stretch 4 now, shoots better than Bari or Tari from deep lol), Adams

    I was at the game tonight, sitting next to the Red Rowdies, and man, what a heartbreaking loss. We had a big lead for most of the game, but somehow, we couldn’t make the right adjustments and got exposed. I know it’s just one game, but this one stings, especially with a tough schedule ahead. Letting this one slip away really hurts.

    The refs let the Hornets hack the **** out of Sengun for most of the game. Might have had something to do with the missed shots in the second half?

    journalism sucks.

    He missed quite a few bunnies, okay...

    He played amazing though. Shiit happens man. Basketball isnt played on a spreadsheet. Sometimes the ball doesnt fall.

    So annoying that co tent creators, aka journalists, have to post 5 times a day to meet metrics. Watered down ass journalism.

    I want James Harden instead of FVV

    Can we send FVV to Clippers for Harden?

    Coaching is a Issue, Certain matchups Ime never adjusts to put a taller Defensive Player on the Point Guard or Taller Center in place of Sengun.

    Fred VanVleet has always been a Backup Point Guard that is undersized with a streaky shot. Consistency against All Star Point Guards is an issue. Amen Thompson should've started over Jabari Smith and Assignment is guarding Lonzo Ball.

    Dillon Brooks lateral defense, his lack of quickness is terrible, always picks ups quick fouls.

    The Rockets need to trade Dillon Brooks for Younger, Taller Defensive Small Forwards.

    Jalen (and Fred) were not settling taking all those 3’s against Charlotte PnR coverage. Those are the shots we want. Dribble up, open 3’s against a deep drop is one of the best shots you can get in NBA halfcourt offense.

    They just missed those shots tonight. They have to make them. When they’re not going in everything else looks bad.

    Similar to the OKC preseason game. They’re challenging us to take and make open 3’s that they’re letting us have. We have to take them, and make them. Declining the challenge means you lose.

    Yep - that coast to coast dribble & turnover- WTF. Does he think he’s Yao. That was a head scratcher

    This was a frustrating, bad loss.

    81-1
