    Not to be a downer, but when the Rockets pick 5th in the draft instead of 3rd due to a tight race to the bottom, nobody is going to care about this win. We will however have threads proposing that we trade the 5th pick, a future 1st,, and a future 2nd to move up to 3. Basically, everything we will get for Wood or Gordon.

    if rockets go on to win enough games to make the playoffs I will agree with you.

    KPJ has never been benched. stop it.

    They told Wall to not suit up so KPJ would never be benched.

    Look just stop making excuses for Green when he is benched for playing badly, that is part of development too.

    Shoutout to jiizz fan in torn jeans, white crop top with big boobs
    KPJ with MOAR clutch 3 point shooting - the look of disbelief from the arrogant jiizz fans was priceless
    Shoutout to Brooks 3, three pointers in a row
    Shoutout to G Bird and Tate!
    Woods 3 to close the 3Q was noice

    Gordon’s careless dribbling turnover late in 4Q was wtf
    WTF to Wood not securing rebound late in 4Q

    Overall the energy was great and fun to watch

    I presided over a Jazz loss in person. Always a pleasure.

    Im going to need Green to do whatever JC is doing.. JC fought his way into the lineup by working on his game and making sure Silas saw him do it..

    They did bench him which is why he left the arena that one time. :)

    Force-feeding rookies minutes while going on a 15 game losing streak isn't good for their development either.

    The top 5 picks in the draft is very overrated. I'd rather be one and done in the playoffs and pick mid-1st round than tank and pick in the top 5. The top 5 picks in the draft are a gamble that may not pan out. Most superstars are drafted in the mid-1st round. You don't need to tank to get good players in the draft. This isn't the NFL.

    And they were so dirty. Ingles sticking out his leg to trip Green was a throwback to those teams. A sweet victory tonight.

    KPJ abandoned his team and it made Silas love him more.

    Green gonna have to punch Silas in the chest to catch up.

    what is this nonsense.
    One and done in the playoffs does nothing, and is a waste of time. Forcing an all-in on a team clearly not ready to win it all is hindering any chance for ever getting a ring.

    Please don't b those folks that honestly believe that anything can happen when u can make it into playoffs.

    Curious what was your eye test on the team. Body language, the defense, things like that. Probably stuff not captured on TV cameras.

    Nah, he'll just have to play well on both sides of the ball like KPJ has recently to do that.
