    this team need a review of what's wrong with the defense in the 4th quarter.

    this is too common where teams score a bunch in the 4th.

    Welp, another bad loss.

    58-41 on the boards. Bari with just 2 rebounds.

    The Rockets' perimeter defense was horrible all game. Where was Tate? Cam was just not ready.

    Coach Udoka looks a bit freaked out. Not his best look.

    Lost to a 13win team is inexcusable.

    I feel hopeless...

    Rockets outrebounded 59 to 40. Embarassing for supposedly elite rebounding team.

    Jabari + Jalen had 5 total rebounds between them.

    Only 8 total OREB vs Jazz 17.

    2nd unit needs to be better.

    Jeff Green as your leading scorer for the bench?! c'mon man.

    Fred van vleet counting all that extra money he's making by being in street clothes.

    I'm sure everybody will still swear he isn't all that important. The team has looked like absolute dog s**t since the second he went down. Even the few wins have been ugly.

    I don't watch games that Aaron Holiday plays in, so i missed almost all of the game but it seems only one player had a positive plus minus.

    Tari and Adams every other game is really starting to hurt us. Tari in general long term is really concerning with this leg injury.

    I've been really disappointed in Cam recently. He's making all of us who have been vocal in wanting more minutes with him look like we don't know what we're talking about. When he's on the floor, he's no longer aggressive, not playing hard on defense, not cutting off-ball like he used to...I don't get it. If this continues, I think it's best if we moved on. KJ Martin was twice as good tonight, because you know he'll always bring energy, even if he can't shoot or defend well.

    Early on, when we couldn't pull away even when our shots were falling, it felt like there was a recipe for something bad to happen, and it did. I don't really have much else to say besides that this was a shitty game and a shitty ending. Not many redeeming things to talk about this time.

    We got dominated on the boards, losing 41 to 58.

    Unacceptable as the best reboundding team in the league and what we hang our hat on as our identity.

    We got dominated on the inside all night on both ends.

    Soft play tonight.

    blame Stone, not the bench. everyone saw how dogshit this bench is and Stone didn't bother to make changes when solid players could have been had for 2nd round picks.

    He got absolutely cooked on defense over and over. How he managed 20 mins was insane
