    high-key rockets losing has gone from aggravating to pretty funny.

    Put KPJ in a D'Antoni style offense with 1 big man, plenty of floor spacing and high pick-and-roll options and he'll seem like a completely different ball player. Not going to judge a player due to the coach's shortcomings.

    Theis is also a situational player, it's Silas' fault for playing him 25 mins a game.

    House is the only player on this roster that is inexcusable. But also Silas is a dumbass for even letting House get near the vicinity of a basketball court.

    I just remembered Silas is gonna roll with KPJ when he comes back. This level of effort is not possible with him on the floor.

    Doesn’t that arrogant idiot realize that the Wood-Theis lineups don’t work??!!

    Silas is literally re-tarded

    honestly I’d be very down with this. Simmons as a “real point” just makes a ton of sense. He’s get a lot of guys open looks. And he’s great on defense.

    While I hate the fact that we had 2 bigs to end the game, in theory it should have given EG and Tate a little bit of a rest to make their shots. Felt like EG played that entire quarter though. Tate was just off from 3 tonight.

    I actually don't mind Simmons here given what we see from Wood. Without a PNR guard Wood is limited. We can just run Sengun at the 5.

    KPJr will turn it over 5 times and miss 5 layups, and hang his head and refuse to run back on D for each and every one of them

    The Rockets energy should be to have Jlaen at point for the rest of the season. He's just better than KPJ at that. The Rockets are stuck in the mud and refuse to change. Playing our rookies is not gonna make us miss out on a top pick.

    I think this board overvalues Tate. He’s be a great great role player on a really good team. His inability to shoot threes on this team is deadly.

    In either case, you can’t run lineups with him and Theis together. That he is often out there with Theis AND Wood is moronic.

    These guys are spending by Silas for useless vets.

    im telling you Rockets losing is pretty hilarious now. To be so mad to extrapolate how KPJ is going to play when he comes back is comedy.. its true... but so funny.

    First time this season that Jalen Green has had three straight games with 40+ percent shooting in a row and 33+ percent from three
