    If Amen masters the three, he is an All Star first team.

    Good back to back

    good teams win ugly, followed by blow-outs. It’s good to experience that

    Oh hey there. I guess you're one of the people who think Ignoring things just because it's a win is fine (disclaimer: teams trying to be great don't)

    Did I say Jabari hasn't been solid? I said he misses a lot of open shots his teammates generate for him, and he has made a few ridiculously bad passes the past couple of games. Is that wrong?

    Yup neither could Jabari at the beginning of the year, remember? And remember how half the board here wrote him off and said he’s our worst shoooter on the team and we’d be lucky to trade him for Capella? Lol. And now all of a sudden he’s the best shooter.

    Let’s not prematurely write off pure shooters guys.

    Jabari had 21 points and 11 rebounds on 50% overal FG shooting, 40% three point shooting and 83% free throw shooting. I’m sort of OK with him taking any shot he wants over any of our other shooters except maybe Brooks at this point lol. We actually need to go to Jabari more instead of FVV and Jalen constantly

    Sigh. Again for the people in the back, I in no way shape or form sad Jabari was bad. The facts I stated do not define his overall game.

    I 100% agree with you on your last point.

    I never once said he needs to take less shots. I'd love nothing more than Jabari taking 10 more shots a game if it means Jalen takes 10 less shots a game.

    I’m so happy Cam got 27 minutes tonight. I can see this guy being better than Jaylen Brown.

    Amen Thompson is better than 4 of our starters and comes off the bench.

    LMMFAO!!! The announcer magically turns into James Brown at the 5:00 mark when Thompson hits the 3!

    The Rockets are going to turn that corner before my annually predicted Allstar break.

    It's not same.

    Besides shooting, what else Reed can do?

    His height is limitation.

    Harden’s old ass still requires double teams…Memphis would rather send a 2nd guy at him than watch him go 1 on 1

    Can the rockets realistically stay in front of memphis and dallas? If not clippers win against griz may not be that nice at the end. But it feels good to be the 2nd seed for now
