    JG dropped 9pts in 4th tonight and then Booker got in game and JG never got another shot - even tho he did have a assist for a 3 to tie the game

    He will cost us an important game in the playoffs if Ime doesn’t get his head out of his ass.

    Damn, that sounds depressing. Imagine getting all the hate as a mum cause your son is making bone headed mistakes.

    If there was one guy on the team who was fixing games it would be Tari. Consistently makes critical fouls, turnovers, and boneheaded plays at the most critical moments in each and every close game. Still blame him for the loss to the Warriors last season.

    Never want to see Tari closing out a game again. I do still like him as a 15-20 minutes per game hustle guy off the bench, which seems to be about all his leg can handle anyway. He's going to have to learn that's his best role in the league and accept smaller contracts than he wanted. Everything about him screams "MLE money" right now.

    Tari is not right. Something is bothering him, and if I were to guess a combination of physical / mental things that are bothering him. I like the guy, but I love the Rockets more. I have no problems seeing him in a different uniform next year. BTW, Stone should have traded Tari when he had the chance.

    And unlike the Tari of this season, I bet Jalen didn't complain. He's never been a selfish player, if anything he's too passive at times. Tari just seems to be playing for himself and mainly himself this season, and it's not making him or his game look good.

    Which version of Tari is Truer? The early season version with so much promise or the late season version with bad shooting slump and boneheaded plays? Somewhere in between but I believe the later is closer to the real one.

    She puts herself out there. She gets kudos for being cool from a lot of fans. If you put yourself front and center you can expect to get some sh*t thrown your way, especially if you are as big a sh*t talker as she is. I think she enjoys her notoriety.

    Tari was butt hurt to start the season, but figured out quickly that pouting wasn’t leading to anything positive. He put the sulking behind him and has played hard the rest of the year. He brings a lot of value as a Kaos inducing bench player with a decent shot. He just doesn’t bring the $ value that he wants. I hope we re-sign him for a reasonable contract and play him in his appropriate role. His shot will come back to a reasonable level by next year if not sooner.

    I think it's fine for the fans to dish it out just like she does, but death threats or any kind of threats to her safety cross the line. Anybody doing that should GTFO the fanbase. And get some help.

    For real on that. Social media is full of crazies. Hell some of our politicians need the same kind of help.

    Funny how people who are obnoxious on social media hate people who are even more obnoxious on social media.

    There's a *really* easy way to not see these "death threats" but she's just as addicted as Dickerson.

    Of course she does. And that’s a big part of why Tati’s going through it this season. She definitely “drives the ship” behind the scenes. It’s highly likely she had a say in the decision to decline the extension. In a way, she “made it” when he got drafted. Is she “cool”? Maybe. Is she an overbearing “cheerleader mom” living an NBA fantasy? Absolutely.

    The bonehead trait has always been there, but was hidden by his threes and hustle.

    Must be something behind the scenes that we are missing. This goes beyond a simple 'slump'.
