    If only he could contest that shot, we would have been up 10 with the different tone.

    You guys have to understand the Rockets are built on DEFENSE. They first have to stop the opposition.

    And if you're playing 2's vs 3's you're going to lose every time, thus Golden States 13 game winning streak against us.

    We have to play DEFENSE FIRST. That's why he benched Sengun and ultimately Jalen.

    I see the tradition of hiring cheap child labor for halftime entertainment is still alive and well with the Fertits.

    Alpi’s assignment 9/10. That’s the problem.

    It is more than that ...The Harden Rockets never really did well against them too.....I know much more competitive but in the end the Worriers had our numbers.

    Endless struggle, their corporate approach is to just move the ball around and playing unselfishly.

    Wholesome philosophy.

    The Rockets are not prepaid for ball pressure. They literally don’t know what to do on offense

    Oh I'm not saying they should be told because of injury but pragmatically its useless playing the starters in this game.

    The game is an L. Playing them only increases risk of injury. You may as well play the bench win or lose. One, it serves as hopefully motivation for the starters and two, no freak torn ACL or something.

    We can’t spend all our money at once, especially when the Silicon Valley Worriers are in town.

    15-20 point game? Chance to come back with fair reffing. 30+ down with unfair reffing? Might as well pick up your ball and go home. Come on man, surely you see the difference.

    This reminds me of a game last season when the Celtics absolutely dominated Houston from start to finish, won by 30+ and had 24 three pointers to Houston’s 7 made.

    I knew that night Celtics were the best team in the NBA and would win the championship.

    Warriors are a top 3 team this season.

    Yeah, I actually had this as a Loss, I even said it a week ago lol.

    I just don't think we are ever going to beat the Warriors until Kerr, Draymond, and Curry are gone. At least not beat them consistently. It is what it is I guess.

    Is it sadistic to consider watching the rest?

    if Jalen doesn’t have it going, this team basically can’t score

    this was his worst half of the season by far

    you’re the guy for this team, u need to be on point every night

    I'd rather watch Vanessa and Calvin than the rest of this trash game. Way more entertaining

    I agree the refs haven't been good but I just can't bring myself to let our guys off the hook for playing like trash. Idk i guess I'm more mad at the team than the refs

    Makes total sense sir. Could you also explain how do we win without a basket too? Thanks!
