    48.9% from 3P.

    45 3PA - D'Antoni would be proud.

    3Q defense was lockdown. Jazz only scored 19 total points.

    From the very beginning I said that JC was going to be Jalen Green's insurance, meaning if Green fails JC would be that guy.

    Everyone else just called him Jalen Green's friend.

    So, it means that you needed company. Nice to see someone called himself /herself as a low level creature. We will see how farther we can go.

    I'm proud that our Houston Rockets have defeated our old nemesis, the Utah Jazz.

    This team ball stuff is fun huh guys? Scooter played great and within himself. Mathews was on fire. Jalen had a tough night even though I thought he got after it a little on D which was a positive. Very nice I like ... do it again!

    A meaningless win that will help us secure a meaningless draft pick

    I think they'll still lose enough to bag a top pick. An isolated win here and there won't be the end of the world.

    Soon enough guys like Wood and Gordon will be traded away and that'll signal the complete collapse. That's why I'm okay with a hard fought win, rewarding the players who stepped up and dragged the Rockets back into the game.

    Watching these Rockets win is like drinking whiskey. While you’re doing it, it’s great fun and hard to stop doing. The next day you remember why it is a bad idea. We need a top 4 pick, badly. We are dangerously close to being a mediocre basketball team. It is imperative that we trade Gordan and Wood right now and not get anything back that we have to play this year. Patrick Williams or Zion are the ideal candidates, although both are probably out of our reach. So expirings and picks, please.

    Losing Gordon will hurt the wins but losing Wood may actually have the opposite effect.

    Nah. You just replace his minutes with Garuba and the tank is back on. Garuba gets to develop, but we probably lose 10 points on offense and like it or not Wood still does a decent job at defensive rebounding.

    Play Theis if he is still here as well.

    Let Sengün foul out.

    I think you underestimate how much wood disrupts chemistry on both ends of the court.

    Typically booby behavior. Sprouts a narrative that suits his point of view as fact. Calls other posters ignorant. When u ask for proof he doesn't even bother to reply.

    Only fact about that kpj incident was he quit on the team by leaving the arena. Got punished a game and learned from it.
