    7 out of our 10 wins this season has come against terrible teams.

    We are just pretenders until our schedule becomes hard.

    The Bucks are a bad team this year. The Rox should have won tonight. Sengun was weak tonight overall and was punked by Lopez most of the night unfortunately.

    Aaron Holiday needs more time.

    Jalen should be banned from taking mid range shots.

    Finally someone that gets it. Brooks should not have been in down the stretch. He cannot guard quick perimeter players and he was having an off night. Ime’s vet-itis has cost us 3 games this year. Oh well, we are still a good team.

    Sengun didn’t have a good game, but that pass from Fred was over his head.
    Also, where was Green going on that play?

    I do not think those are just missed shots, they fumble the ball, they have the worst turnovers.

    Utterly away from the next man against the Warriors, lackadaisical at times you would call it.

    Some of those things happen to Fred and Dillon, it is beyond stupid.

    that play call was so beautiful from Ime I had to rewind it then pause right when Sengun exhibited butter fingers because I can’t relive that trauma

    that play was a work of art…frame it and put it on display

    Needed Fred to step up in the fourth. I know he did a lot in the third, but that’s why he’s making the big bucks.

    Ime looks like a fool.

    Reminds me of Doc Rivers who lost playoffs with lead.

    We lost it when AJ Green hit that three and Brooks missed the widest 3 point shot ever. This team needs a reliable 3pt shooter.

    Giannis had Alpi scared. Anytime Giannis was close by, Apli would botch the shot.

    Amen Thompson should’ve been the inbounder

    We make too many mistakes down the stretch and in the clutch still. But considering this loss, the loss to the Warriors, and the Spurs loss I think our guys are doing ok.

    I like that we came back to life after a horrific second quarter, and I have to give FVV props for carrying us in the third.

    We’re fine, and our young guys will grow from this

    Rockets were never meant to be contenders this season though so not sure why being a pretender is a problem.

    I'm pissed at the loss but at the same time its a 1 pt loss on a B2B.
