    I hate to say Mark Jackson is right but he is. We cant secure defensive rebounds after misses. I would rather see Kurucs out there over Boogie. At least he can move around and get boards.

    I agree with you.

    PJ Tucker excels at the corner 3 yet we've taken him away from it. He also excels at being a communicator on defense but this drop coverage is no bueno. The fit is not there anymore and that's okay. Send him somewhere so he can compete for a championship. He doesn't need to be stuck here in Houston.

    Rockets need to go back to 50+ attempts from 3.

    This team has no chance otherwise as currently constructed.

    Including the coaches.

    Stone has completely abandoned analytics and whatever advantage they had cultivated in the past.

    we are currently 4th in the lottery standings with a 48.1% chance at a top 4 pick and 12.5% shot at the #1 overall pick

    continue to play lieutenant Boogie as many minutes as possible...tank commander Wall, take as much time as u need while admiral EG does his thing

    Tucker was playing without and with and was horrible ... having him also on floor with Tate causes Tate to be less effective because he’s usually on same side as Tucker and Tucker man is playing off him

    I’d still like to see what this team would look like with Wall but with Tucker and Cousins sucking so badly you’ve only 4 guys left that are proven to belong on an NBA court. Dipo, Wall, Gordon and Wood.

    Love the fight.
    Wood coming back was epic, but I hope that tomorrow he doesn’t swell up and miss too many games
    Nwaba and tate are pit bulls.
    Olidipo and Brown were fun to watch.

    They made some nice runs in this game.

    Too bad Mac lost his 3 ball tonight

    I hate chris paul when he is not on our team. HATE.

    And for whoever is happy this game was close, don’t be. Phoenix shot 23% from 3 tonight and they average around 37% right now.

    let the tank roll out

    It's upsetting that this concept is not understood. It's the reason we came back in the 3rd. I can't stand watching players shoot midrange shots. We don't have anyone. Silas should take notes how the Suns were mostly just CP3 and Booker shooting midrange because they ****ing kick ass at it. The Rockets on the other hand don't have anybody that can do that.

    Another game where it just appears inevitable that we are gonna be some try hards who come up short on talent.

    Wood looks to be our lone keeper for any future competitive squads.

    They shot 23% from 3 man. And those looks were good too.

    Silas would be a great college coach...
    Out of his league.

    His team is still the same team from day 1..

    Sounds great in theory but who is going to set up your shooters like Harden?

    No point guards, just a bunch of small wings and Christian Wood.
