    Lets not forget Bucks arent exactly a bad team. They are prob the 3rd/4rth best team in the East with a legit top 5 player in Giannis and an all star level sidekick in Lillard.

    Doesn’t matter in the long run though, I get that it was a boneheaded play but Jalen also had a horrendous live-ball turnover against Giannis that was just as unnecessary.

    What’s important is that Alpi and Jalen played very clutch to end the game and helped us get the win. The more they’re in this situation—mistakes and all—the better they (and by extension the Rockets) will be at dealing with it. The silver lining to Fred being out this long is that the safety blanket is gone, the heady veteran is gone. And between DB forgetting how to make an inbounds pass, Tari playing a little too helter-skelter for his own good, and Amen deciding to bring the NBA back to the 90s…that win was well-earned!

    You think I'm desperate to validate an opinion to you?

    It's not that serious. He just kinda sucks, cry a river about it. WOW TWENTY THREE POINTS IN ONE GAME??????????

    Great win but Rockets really had a playoff lineup, only 6 guys showed up the rest of the bench are trash.

    Why arent Cam Whitmore and Nate Williams seeing burn? Aaron Holiday has proved he is beyond useless. Its not like Holiday is handling pg duties either. Whitmore showed he is superior to Holiday and Nate Will would be a decent bench from the times he has seen play, dude is long, lengthy and athletic.

    B2Bs in altitude should be abolished. B2Bs are already dumb as hell. Not sure what other sport has "schedule losses".

    Jalen has been playing great as well lately and I believe they both will get even better. They are 22 (Sengun) and 23 (Jalen) respectively and still on their rookie contracts. People are just hating on our young and still developing players like they are KPJ, not allowing for any mistakes. Ridiculous and high on cocaine so-called "Rockets fans".

    As frustrating as it is...yeah. Edwards for all of his accolades was atrocious at the end of the game vs the Rockets last week. Jalen, Amen and Sengun all had some god awful decisions at the end of this game. At least they're getting those reps. I'm sure Jalen and Sengun know that next year there won't be any more excuses.

    Props to Dillon Brooks as well. Jalen and Sengun were stars but we don't close it out without his excellent game

    One of the few times we needed the Suns to win. Grayson Allen bricked a free throw late in regulation that left the door open for Memphis.

    Jalen also had an 8 second violation right after the Giannis steal. Thankfully the referees missed it.

    I feel a little bad for Bucks fans, going from Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton to KPJ and Kyle Kuzma. That’s like trading a Volvo 240 for a Pontiac Fiero.

    LOL "rough" sitting at a top 4 seed in the west with a bunch of 23 yr olds and picks/swaps from PHX and Dallas.

    I think some posters here are just delusional and clueless.

    And yet for the season still has a 2 assists to 1 turnover ratio, but I'm sure that nothing Sengun does will make you ever happy and that's all right. We understand why you can't cheer for Rockets players.

    I cheer for Alpi, I just don’t have to lie about his stats to try and hide his faults
