    Back to Back in Utah... that is one of the lowest % games to win historically speaking...however the bench was horrific. Brooks missed 4 WIDE OPEN momentum 3's. Why is Holiday getting minutes? Cam is back in his feels again.

    Nice game from Alp/Jalen/Amen/Jeff.. some how wasn't enough. Ironically we might be one of the only teams Utah matches up well against.

    Only adding Cody Zeller before deadline tells Rockets front office suck at winning champions.

    Dont expect too much about Rockets.

    Yep. Utah has 4 recent decent victories at home against Orlando, Golden State, Lakers with Doncic, and us. It was a bad game, but not nearly as devastating an indicator as some are panicing over. 4 out of the next 5 games are against quality opponents, 3 at home, and then we go into a very easy stretch. If we stink it up the next five games, it will mean we are pretenders.

    Rockets aren't winning jack until they find their SGA.

    Do you not think Amen could be that in the next couple years? SGA is 26 and was 22 coming off the bench with CP3 taking them to the playoffs

    You do know SGA is in his 7th year and OKC just became relevant last year. He is 26 years old. Jalen, Jabari, Sengun and Amen are at least 3 years younger.

    Another post that does not understand that SGA basically played 20-30 games in 2 seasons.....the mileage is not there.

    He basically played 4-5 full seasons.

    Lebron plays like a 32 year old......

    And Green played pick up basketball with KPJ and Silas for two seasons. I’m sure SGA learned more than Green not playing

    The Thunder were the 10th seed literally two years ago and the 14th seed before that after CP3 left

    SGA didn’t do **** until last year at like 25 years old

    Sengun was awful on D simply awful it was a layup line at the rim. We need a proper rim protecting big to play alongside Sengun at times.

    With all the new sports science, load management, playing a game that is not physical all the time.......

    Players are playing until they are 42-44......so I am not surprised that age would not matter much for the best of players.

    Now you just have to avoid the nastiest injuries......

    We would have won if Adams was able to play. They got so many easy buckets in the paint

    People are always generous after they whip your ass and Ime overplays his starters in altitude.

    This is on IME, why play Adams 5 minutes the night before when you have to go against Utah who is huge up top?

    Yeah it was frustrating to not get this one.

    there was a point early in the fourth quarter where I think we were up three or five and it just felt like we were getting ready to pull away from them.
