    First consecutive losses since the first two games of the season. And it's the freaking Pelicans!

    If we lose to Denver again tomorrow, which is likely, it will be a true test of mental toughness of this team.

    Why he keeps doing that is baffling to me.

    I’ve been screaming this like a broken record


    Turnovers and that breakdown offensively is not a defensive issue


    If you turn the ball over and they get fast break pts it looks like you give up a ton of points but it’s an offensive not a defensive breakdown


    It’s why the outlook with Udoka is so abysmal. He can’t grasp this. It was like watch a slow motion train wreck we all called it

    Ime not only hates offense, but also hates hiring an offensive assistant coach.

    That’s some of the worst hoops from a “good” team I’ve ever seen in my life.

    The passing sucked, somehow the ball ends up with a messed up spin hook from Adams. That’s awful. After a few of those possessions I would have emptied the bench and seen what Unc and JD could do or SOMETHING different. The best players on the Rockets think they’re better than they are. And that’s why you lose to bad teams that play hard.

    Worst part about playing that double big lineup with Jabari and JD and Amen: still didn’t get the rebound on several occasions. The guy who posted Ime wants to win a certain way - his way - is 100% on point!
