    Look at my previous comment, there is an issue IMO with Sengun's screening where it's actually clogging our offence rather than opening up lanes

    I am confident he will “get it” because I am a huge homer, and borderline delusional at times. But I understand why the objective fan might think very very differently.

    It just kind of feels shitty when both myself and the more unbiased folks are all mad about the same thing, and it’s literally the easiest thing to fix (just take less threes, goddamnit)

    You're trying too hard for attention. It won't take the sting away from these last two losses.

    One thing about it ...you swing to hit Jovic in the nose...you can't miss. That's one beak nosed sucker there. A Pelican has nothing on him.

    His screens are similar to Christian Woods -he’s setting them to get the ball - vs setting them to create space

    He’s also not a lob threat so teams don’t have to fall back to protect the rim on his rolling side ..

    It looked like Herro elbowed Amen in the stomach when Amen crowded him to deny the ball. Normally that wouldn’t tip the scales but with the frustration already high it was like throwing a match on a pile of wood.

    It’s frustrating to see the Rockets lose these games to teams that they should beat, especially at home; however, reading some of the posts in this thread is beyond hilarious. The Rockets missing the playoffs??!! Really? Even as offensively challenged as this team is, they still should win 50 or more games (barring any injuries to main players).

    I think the Mavs are without Doncic and the Rockets should not lose to the Lakers, whether AD plays or not. The Celtics are the only team that we should lose to. But man we need Eason back, especially if Amen gets suspended.

    I'll never understand it but I'm sick of watching it. I hope they trade him off after this season. They were so stupid to sign him early. He hasn't improved his shooting percentages at all.

    We have a bunch of young guys and 2 vets - DB plays his role well … we have no Alpha because they all still cool with being friends.

    Thought Bari had it in him but he can’t dribble / create for himself so that’s out

    JG is too timid which is why his aggressiveness driving to rim is up and down game to game

    Amen could be it but he can’t shoot nor dribble under pressure -he’s no PG

    Alpi is unique but I’m worried he’s approaching his ceiling physically

    Tari is great at D but can’t shoot - and his health is ???

    Cam has talent but he’s a black hole and his D is ….

    Folks keep looking for a savior but look at Kings and Suns with players they are begging for … it’s a team game! We need best fit
