    He's gonna mention everything except the real reason: Exhaustion.

    5 more 2nd half mins for Tate and maybe 10 more for Holiday and the Rockets win.

    When two key players are missing and it's the second game of a back-to-back, the game plan must include more bench minutes. Especially when your players start dragging before the 3rd quarter ends. All the starters played 39+ minutes which is RIDICULOUS!

    It didn't help that Cam shot all his bullets the night before against the Pels and had nothing. Just a little more from him would have made a difference.

    Sucks.

    We are still ahead of schedule during an evaluation year. You can play the fan card and overreact about specific players or Ime, but we are also overachieving because of those same folks.

    Dumb coaching in last minute.

    We still had 24 seconds left with 1 pts loss.

    A quick shot in 15 seconds.
    Foul If we missed it.

    Then we still had a chance to even.

    Coaching sucks.

    30 minutes of FVV is perfect. Why 100 minutes a night, Udoka?

    We have enough players.
    They are just not properly used.

    I’m not going to over exaggerate. Bad loss? YES. But, our whole team was playing ****ing fantastic until the collapse. **** happens. B2B tired legs. Sengun was cooking all game then obviously just burned out by the end. And they have Ant. He’s a guy who can steal games if we let up. Not trippin, on to the next.

    Another loss that should not have happened - see the Hornets, the Bucks, and the Warriors game that didn’t go into overtime. But hey they are a still young team playing the 2nd night of a back-to-back, stupid crap like this is going to happen. It shows how much we miss Eason and Brooks, hopefully they will be back soon. Not happy with tonight’s result but still very happy with how the team is doing overall this season.

    ime makes mistakes but give it up bro. Just look at our success the last 2 years from where we were the previous 3. Ime is not the problem. Our backcourt is obviously our biggest problem.

    Pretty much everyone. Jalen had a good game IMO. Made some nice passes again. That’s two games in a row he impressed me with some passes. Made timely threes, until the collapse. Like wise with FVV. He was on a heater in the first half especially.

    You realize Timberwolves had 50 bench points and the Rockets had 10 bench points?

    Without Tate, the Rockets would have 4 points....would not call that the whole team played well.

    Oh how soon we forget the Stephen Silas years. I agree that Udoka is NOT the problem - we were missing 2 key rotation pieces in Brooks and Eason. I mean anytime Tate gets more than 5 meaningful minutes, it’s not good.

    Oh yeah for sure that’s fair. Reed and Cam laid an egg.

    Nah. That 1st warriors game was a deserved loss. Tari willed the team back but starters couldn't do anything to help him.
