    Well I'm not the coach, but clearly at the time it wasn't working. You can't let a team like the Suns get a 10 point lead at home and run off and hide and have to play catchup in the 4th. I think he should have changed things up, probably should have gone 5 out to try and expose them playing McGee or play a guard like KPJ or Green that could actually drive into the paint and collapse their defense. But the last thing he should have done was keep that lineup out there that long. It would have been cool if he swapped out a player or two to see if that would stop the bleeding.

    Silas is using a playbook written by Dr.Seuss. Give us Sam Cassell or Becky Hammon!

    There is only ONE player who should be chasing his points, and that's Green.

    I really hope Jalen can get rid of the chicken wing. It's probably what makes his shot so inconsistent.

    Other than that i think he's some musclemass and 1-2 offseasons away from becoming a star/superstar

    I don't get it. I mean, this was about as good as you'd expect against a 50-60 win team on the road.

    Wood is really a negative in crunch time. I would rather KPJ have the ball.

    Green is still a bit tentative, he doesn't control the game even when he has the ball, it's very robotic, he either drives to pulls up there's no reading floor, surveying etc.

    His rotations killed us in the third when he refused to play KPJ and green separately and took green kpj and wood out at the same time. Wood should be traded IMO. He's 26 I cant see him developing into an all star I just cant. Get some picks we're losing anyway.

    The guys have to get easier baskets. KPJ and Green need catches on the block at times. You cant play totally perimeter basketball. you have to mix it up to make the game a little easier

    Good start to the game but the Rockets got to do better with coming out the first into the second half, all in all I’ve still seen improvments from this team, especially these last 2 games. I hope we get more effort from this team like we’ve seen the last 2 games compared to the others games that we lost

    Players who should have swallowed up every one of Wood's minutes: KJ and Sengun.

    I'm cool with Jalen just jacking up a 3 every time he touches the ball or Sengun practicing fade aways. Dudes seem to be the only two interested in actual ball movement.

    Ehh. He was doing it in the Laker game as well as the first half. He needs to be more aggressive though.

    Are you actually watching????

    Both guys are struggling like b****es to finish in the paint.

    Stop this bullshet already, this is a team game and neither guy deserves to be forced fed when they are playing so badly.

    KPJ was out there, as was Gordon, and Green wasn't exactly great.

    It's kind of funny people last game were screaming bc "you have to stagger Porter and Green" - now they're staggered and people are upset

    When one of the Rockets dribble, dribble... the other 4 Rockets just stands there. This is like James Harden except no one on the team is capable like the former #13.
