    most?

    he's 4-11 tonight lol

    when his shots aren't falling, it's ugly. luckily it's only about 1 out of 15 or 20 games.

    He forces a lot of shots. Like pretty much everyone else on the team though, lol.

    At least it beats the eight year old kids we seem to have half the time.

    Chip away

    This is not extreme at all. I was watching the game. They legit gained all their momentum when that lineup came in. And guess what, he subbed out KD for Sengun ANOTHER non shooter.

    Can't believe we got punked by the jazz in the first half. We gotta stop playing so soft, when they playing so disrespectful.

    Pathetic trash of a 1st half. Rockets are lucky to be playing the Jazz. I guess they felt just by showing up, a win was guaranteed.

    The careless TOs (esp by KD) and the lack of effort on defense were disgusting.

    The only legit bright sides were a few individual defensive plays here and there and the fact the opponent is the Jazz. An 11-point lead doesn't amount to much and they can right the ship in a hurry.

    Clint shouldn't see the floor in the 2nd half. Besides the starters screwing their heads on, one of Holiday or Okogie needs to make an impact in the 2nd half.

    To people who say the Rockets don't need Tari, this is a game where they miss his infectious, relentless energy, defense and shooting.

    B2B is not an excuse since Utah played a b2b. Maybe because its just the first B2B this year though I guess...

    But...I don't understand why teams don't use the first game as a rest game for B2Bs so that the 2nd game you're putting in fresh legs.

    Anyways, still super winnable, they just have to wake up and play smarter.

    It was also better for the team and Reed to bring him off the bench.

    the defense has been terrible, by eveyrone not just reed

    but the offense is predicated on KD playing AND1 or NBA2k with terrible shots with other players open

    I'm one of the ones who knows Udoka isn't a championship caliber coach as is - he has far too many deficiencies he replays over and over again without combating.

    He isn't the most overrated coach in the NBA though.

    Selfish basketball on offense isn't fun to watch.

    I'll gladly take it.

    Better than the 6 of 8 then 7 of 8 games in the opposite direction from Jalen.
