    FYI getting Giannis doesn’t make us contenders either. Building around a 32 year old and 37 year old is stupid

    Oh we TOTALLY jumped the gun on win now. Having said that I’m glad to be rid of Jalen.

    It makes me sad really. We’re getting left behind in comparison with these other young teams and they’re not going anywhere. The Rockets have been so unlucky in the draft. And it doesn’t help that Ime comes in and all he wants are defensive wing players, and they wonder why we can’t shoot. This team has Ime’s fingerprints all over it.

    KD is 37 not 27.

    he can't over exert himself.

    The way our team is constructed we would be great in 2010, but yeahhh it’s 2026 and nba has changed and we can’t get more than 2 players that can shoot.

    Spurs attempted 25 3-point shots while we only attempted 12. Even if Spurs made only 40 percent instead of 50 percent, that's a 15 point deficit here, not to mention the offensive long rebounds you are getting when you shoot 3s. Basically Sengun and KD two man game, they can make KD shoot open 3s every single possession without much effort, even if KD only makes 40 percent of the 3s, we are much better off offensively. Ime's stubbornness to shoot 2s is hard to fathom.

    I’ll say it. I’d rather watch last years team. At least Brooks was spicy. This team got no spice.

    Oh good the Suns won so our boys Dillon and JG will be moving above us after we **** the bed in the second half. That's awesome

    moving on from jalen was 1 step forward

    getting KD and shipping away Dillon Brooks were 2 steps backward

    Has trading for an aging out of his prime superstar worked for anyone before?

    No. But it might work for us!

    Neither one has that I'm gonna slap the hell out of you energy that makes teammates run through walls for them. Unfortunately, we have a CJ situation here where your highest paid players can get their numbers but are poor leaders.

    Ime using his challenge in the first quarter on another low iq foul by Tari is just moronic. Beginning to wonder about Udoka’s intelligence.
