    Need more time. Maybe 1 more year. Or less. But also need to stay healthy too.

    there's a reason why Sengun is a matador on defense on certain possessions. playing without fouling.

    he's not known around the league for defensive jugganaut so the refs will blow whistles on ticky tacky fouls. ever since his rookie days, he's still playing defense without being called for these touch fouls.

    compare sengun to draymond green where green is allow to to whatever he wants, of course green will play better defense.

    Sengun can play defense just fine if the refs allow him to play defense.

    CF would errupt if JGs shot would've gone in. Lets call it a schedule loss, on to the next one, lets go Rockets!

    There is a silver lining in these bitter losses -- keep our players hungry and focused.

    Man, the refs activated the Tim Donaghy strategy.

    Those two fouls against Brooks not only gave Sacramento points, but it removed two Rockets possessions too -- easily a 6-point swing in a close game.

    Besides that, Green continues to SHINE (efficiency and clutch) -- plus it was great having an Eason sighting.

    Valiant effort on a 2nb2b, and without Freddy V

    Rockets still sitting #2 the West

    Our best player is still showing why he's our best player. Our 2nd best player Amen showed up too. Sengun was a -20 last night. Should we bring him off the bench?

    Sengun was a -20 last night. The worst on the team

    Refs made sure the Vegas line was honored. Moving on.

    Isn't it funny how the officials are never mentioned after a game the Rockets win.

    But the officials are always brought up after a loss. Used as an excuse for the Rockets losing.

    The copium here is real.

    You certainly would know about "copium" as a Packers fan.

    Please stop feeding the troll! He’s a loser so desperate for interaction he comes to other boards and even makes up fake identities and drama. The only solution is to ignore him.

    It’s a great thing we’re bringing up the refs ….means we’re back to being competitive again. Refs were never brought up during the Silas years :). We likely win that game if the ref doesn’t make that ridiculously fixed phantom call after he sees Brooks get the steal. League should investigate a few of these refs, but won’t because it would damage their reputation if the truth came out.

    Literally have that jobroni on my ignore list (the only one on there), but I can still see he's around b/c of people's reactions to him.

    Plus Dillion's reputation = they knew not many people (outside of Houston) would look closer at the calls.

    Also, super late game so not many people up to catch all the action - just the replay the next day.

    Yeah cuz when Adam's comes in it's against the bench unit. And the kings literally don't have a bench with monk in starting lineup. Yall are the ones that love to not use plus minus when Jalen had the worst plus minus on our team all season..

    Game boiled down to free throws. If we make a couple more that changes the game theory and we may not need a 3 to tie at the end. That aspect will become hyper exposed during the playoffs if it continues to be an issue. We are 27th in FT%.

    Defense really wasn't there. Kings just getting their shots off and burying them. Jalen and Amen quite the guard duo. DB shot us out of the game and got that extremely soft foul/steal call at the end. Tari was there but not really. Miss U Jabari.

    Why is Jeff Green playing 20+ when he's got about 5-8 in the tank? Where's Tate? Reed for that matter? I'd rather see him clapping cheeks in the GL than clapping hands on the sideline with zero minutes.

    I hate the Kings man. Enjoy your scheduled victory.
