    Nah I don't think you trade any of our assets in the first year of development under Udoka. Jimmy is also injury prone and selfish.

    Um. Guess you didn't see him go at Curry a few times and Curry lock him up.

    This narrative of Jalen can do this can do that whenever he wants, really needs to die.

    If it's true, the question needs to be asked, why doesn't he want to do it 99% of the time?

    Amen started to come around near the end.

    Jalen usually responds well to sucking, most of his hot streaks come right after everyone gives up on him, so hopefully he flips the switch again.

    If not we will lose this series.

    That Toronto FVV is a thing of a past and was the height of his career.

    Amen and Jalen have to show up for us to win this series.

    It's been like that the entire Udoka era. He just doesn't have a modern offensive system/sets. Sure the Rockets don't have a go to scorer, but it get magnified by the lack of offensive sets/system.

    Not having a go to scorer shouldn't bog down the offense in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

    Easy to do when you have the refs in your pocket.

    Would be wild to see Cam just get Jalen’s minutes but it’ll never happen

    If Ime swapped out Jalen for Cam and FVV for Reed, we win tonight....but that's not an option because Ime is not a good coach when it comes to that side of things.

    No. We just don't need a narcissist at PG.

    Who could've possibly foreseen this happening.

    The guy who is a turnover machine at end of games when the opposition ramps up the defensive to close the game, was going to wilt in the playoffs.

    /end sarcasm.

    We need the refs to call it fair.that one out of bounds play and block on Amen literally swung the game cuz we had all the momentum and were within striking distance.

    Its so brain dead that we didn’t add one shooter at the deadline

    we could’ve actually contended with one shooter at least really needed two with one that could create their own shot as well as shoot

    but we probably lost the series tonight and had we had one shooter probably would’ve been the difference so we weren’t relying on freaking Fred Vanvleet and J Green to chuck up shots.

    it’s just infuriating because a child could see that we needed one shooter at least

    If we shoot that way from the FT line we'll never win anything.

    Looking at you, Amen....
