    Yeah the NBA really screwed the Rockets over when it comes to their schedule. It still pisses me off that they lost to the Pelicans, Kings, and the Nuggets (twice). Hopefully those losses won’t come back to haunt us.

    The Lakers are in some deep **** - all 10 of their losses have been at least by 10 or more points. Only 3 of our 10 losses have been in double figures. I think LeBron and Luka have already checked out on JJ.

    It was great to see DFS finally play and although he was rusty, his presence allowed for less playing time for Okogie and Holliday and Tate will only be seen in garbage time where he belongs.

    Which means they will play more home games in 2026? What’s the problem?

    Luka seems to be more about stuffing stats than actually winning basketball games, he does deliver in the Playoffs though from time to time but in the Regular season I am not all that worried about him.

    I'm sure Luka and LeBron were scared out of their mind to face JJ Redick at the following practice.

    My prob with Okogie is he played so well the first ten games and then started playing like a scrub for no discernable reason.

    The defense is good but he stopped shooting from 3 and would go 20 mins just standing there on offense.

    Luka is just an on ball guy, he is not gonna do the dirty work of moving off ball, setting screens etc

    Lots of players are like that including MJ, Lebron, Kobe, Harden and even KD thats why when Tari is out the energy seems pretty low.

    Of course its better if a guy is willing to do the dirty work but lots of guys dont wanna do that and honestly thats Lakers problem they have 3 guys with the "Him" complex and nobody wants to be the guy setting screens and moving off ball.

    He came back down to earth. There is a reason he has bounced from team to team to team

    Maybe but my issue theres no reason for it lol. Its not like he got injured or his role changed its like he woke up and realised he was just making a vet min so he is gonna play like a vet min.

    Who Reed? relax BTG and DD, just kidding. If there was a Scott Brooks available it would be a really good signing for this current Rocket team.
