    I called him Angel Reese, she’s still a star, she’s just horrible finishing at the rim … similar to Alpi …has no 3pt shot… similar to Alpi… decent rebounder … similar to Alpi…

    maybe you should watch some WNBA

    Refs swallow the whistle when Jalen drives. It's pretty obvious that the same doesn't hold for other shooting guards. For example, Jalen has shot 234 FTs this season in 57 games played, yet Lillard 320 in 46 games played. They both are close in drives and 3 point attempts per game, yet there is a large disparity in FTs attempted, 4.10 vs. 6.95 per game.

    That is also correct but what I meant was when the Rockets win, it was usually not a clutch game last year. So your better chance to win was a blow out. This year, there is a big improvement in clutch games. Ranking increased from 25th in the league to 6th in such cases.

    KPJ was a monster of a human being + and overrated basketball player. That Stone believed he was the next Harden + forced his minutes at starting PG position without earning it was deplorable.

    drove and got 2-3 layups in 1st qtr… Bucks then had Lopez sagging at FT line and following him to rim… JG wasn’t getting no calls so either missed or blocked but he kept attacking

    Not the only things you've posted and still ignores all your likes. Don't try to straddle the fence now, either admit you're a hater or admit you'll change your ways. This half-baked attempt and justifying yourself just makes you look indecisive.

    Udoka specifically mentioned this play + how Alp affected Dame's shot.

    I’m glad Lopez was cold tonight last game he killed us on both sides. Sengun was cooking him a bit at times. Amen need to learn to grab the arms and fall down that way you throw him to the ground and it’s a common foul, at least when draymon does it. You can’t grab a guys face unless that guy is Jalen green then it is no foul lol.

    Im not a hater, SOFs think Alpi is perfect and it’s impossible to have a back and forth with them because when he makes mistakes they ignore them but then they run and try and talk down on any Rocket who they view as a threat to Alpi (JG, Amen)

    nothing I say about Alpi isn’t a fact … so if that makes me a hater oh well - I’ll stick to living in the real world of true Rockets fans

    I'm really happy with this win and I think Alpi and Jalen both played well besides some terrible turnovers near the end. I don't understand why Cam Whitmore isn't playing some minutes though. Rafael Stone said they didn't make a significant trade because they wanted the young guys to develop. Then Ime proceeds to play Jeff Green and Aaron Holiday over Cam Whitmore and Reed Shephard. Does Stone even have Ime's phone number?

    I see, too afraid to even admit it. That's okay Oh well, I'm sure next game Sengun doesn't play well the Senhate will come out all again.

    Hey, where is all this "truth-telling" when Jalen doesn't have good games or even at times when he makes mistakes? Loud Sengun criticism but quiet Jalen criticism? Yeah, that's not a Rockets fan, that's a player only fan.

    That's okay, I'm certain you're too afraid too admit you got caught not being a Rockets fan, but just a regular so-called one. At least you like 1 player on our team, we'll see if you stick around if he ever leaves.

    I'm certain we'll be seeing you at the next game thread spewing hatred towards our players.

    Looking at the box score but missed the game. Did both teams just take half court shots in the fourth quarter?

    This. Cam's 3 point shooting should at least help with the spacing and give Jalen an easier time to attack the paint

    I speak on JG faults, Cam, Tari, Bari, Amen… that’s the diff between me and you - I’m a fan of the team and want all our players to improve but I also acknowledge that they are each far from perfect

    I don’t have to come on here and try and pretend a player didn’t commit a turnover when all of Rockets X and Clutchfans and post game is talking about that TO

    but hey… if that helps you sleep at night

    Cam 3pt shot has been MIA … mainly because he refuses to catch and shoot and keeps taking a dribble or doing a step back

    We scored 15 points in the last quarter and won the game.

    JVG is out in LA smiling to himself. Beautiful basketball

    Yeah, you claim you do, but your history says otherwise. That's the difference between me and you, I don't concentrate on hating one player while ignoring the mistakes the others do. Your amount of callouts for JG is extremely minimal compared to all other players, and somehow you got a dislike of Sengun and it shows. You can try to claim otherwise but your post history is easy to see and so is your lying about being a Rockets team fan.

    Craig and Ryan are getting absolutely cooked on every social media platform for their call on Amen’s flagrant 2. I think anytime you get hands to the face coupled with the fact that it’s Giannis plus Silver being in attendance is gonna get you a flagrant 2.

    I love Ackerman but they are being blasted everywhere right now in the “comments sections” of every platform.

    Why does every game have to be nail biters for no reason. I don't even know how we end up winning so many of these
