    Keegan Murray is/was the best shooter in the draft.

    We can’t shoot… 17% from 3 is just crazy … didn’t even feel like it but Jalen Bari and EG and Moonshine was a brickfest

    Silas should started Tari and Jabari should come from the bench after injury. Tate should be used more.

    Minne game was won because Silas started 4th with JGreen&Alpi When he benched them at the beginning of 4th, it was clear that he did not care winning.

    ROFL when I saw the score at half time I just knew they'd blow it. This team is booty flakes.

    This.

    But I will say that I think games like this they can actually learn from and get better vs how they've played most of the season.
    This style of play that they've been playing feels like they are beginning to form an identity.

    I think most of it is mental & getting good looks, he has good shooting mechanics so I dont understand why his shot has been so god awful. It's frustrating cuz he's a kid you wanna see do well, plays hard & says the right things.

    They are clueless, at least Silas is. He think EG provides ball handling and playmaking. I remember how he talks about he has to have EG on the court for these, but at that time never ever thought about Sengun being part of the process. Similarly with Fernando, because he is a 'lob threat', he thought about him very highly, more than Sengun. God knows what he thinks about Matthews.

    Next game is in 20 hours or so, against a good Cavs team.

    I don’t sense a victory but if we keep playing through Alpi at least I can feel some growth. We are getting more girthy by the game

    I feel like draft day karma is real. He was mad about not being picked 1st. He chose #1. Someone convinced him he has to improve his handle and inside scoring, honestly I think he's done that much. He's still a big ass baby deer running around but draft gurus were talking about a handless man that had to dribble by headbanging the ball. He's got enough handle to be better than what's already a very obvious improvement.

    But the shooting.

    I don't think his spirit is right. Paolo being selected 1st is no great surprise or slight to him personally. But he's made it a thing? And this is what happened, his game pulled an Uno Reverse card offensively.

    Gordon's fat, super duper dogshit effort, bullshit veteran influence is wearing #10. God willing, this number will be available to Jabari next year, should he want it. #1 should've been off limits. #36? No Rockets has ever worn 36.

    I don't know why it is so difficult for you to understand what is written. How many minutes Tari played against Kuzma's 41 minutes and what is the difference between Tari to play with the starters or Matthews type of scrubs?

    Don't answer just for answering. Read twice, think, and answer after that?
