    Well, some of us tried to explain that the Rockets have 0 offensive scheme and gameplan and they were where they were in the RS thanks to their historic offensive rebounding numbers.

    Amen has disappointed big time

    At least with Jalen I already had low expectations

    Yeah the officiating is trash but our offense has been trash regardless.

    Can’t blame this one on refs even though they are one-sided. Jalen/FVV < Podziemski. Even Amen has been intimidated. What will Ime do?

    Gotta upgrade the backcourt this offseason.

    Jalen and Fred are too small and don’t shoot it well enough to change the way defenses play us.

    If we get a high enough pick I would throw everything at Minnesota for Ant.

    At the very least I expected a competitive game and for the Rockets to play hard. Pretty damning performance across the board.

    The difference is Jalen and FVV suck this game, one of them has to show up or else we'll lose. It's that simple.

    I'd put Tari in there, he played well, I'd also try Jeff Green, who always plays well when he plays.

    The players have to stop trying to get foul calls. The Warriors don't get called for fouls. Even when they hit you and do moving screens, they won't call them for fouls

    Tari is a dumbass, you don't scream for the ball because the Warriors will zone in on you.

    What's bothersome is you worked all season for the no.2 seed and ended facing the worst match up.

    .. think the word from Ime to Jalen out of HT was be aggressive.

    Green is getting blocked and not getting calls. Green should be a playmaker. Every time he drives there are open shooters

    Amen has been so bad on defense.
