    Nix is not an NBA player

    Why is consistently getting minutes in the clutch??

    It’s called tanking

    a actually veteran point guard off the bench would win to many of these close games

    That's a good point but probably because he sat for so long, Silas thought process could have been you risk putting in a cold player into an intense game, it would take him a few possessions to get warmed up. I'm not sure.
    Rockets vs Pacers, 3/9/23 @ 6pm CST. It was the same game.

    Naw, it's just the way I saw it. I think they made a comeback playing good defense and running the floor.

    Silas is not an NBA coach

    As a non-nba coach, he has a soft spot for non-nba players.

    This is the kind of quality loss I want to see from the Rockets moving forward.

    Nice game from Jabari!

    Tonight reminded me how sad I am that Turner signed that dumb extension. Man that would have been a great free agent signing.

    For what though? Just so we can win a few more games and miss the Wemby sweepstakes?

    Unless we can sign a star level player like Harden, I don’t mind kicking the can down the road.

    Perfect game. Without Nix it would be a win likely. The 19 year old Jabari looks like he can be something in the future. With someone that knows how to set up other players hopefully next season Green/Eason/Jabari/Sengun/Garuba/Christopher/TyTy & Victor/Jarace Walker/Cam Whitmore/Brandon Miller etc will be set up for success.

    Nix had more missed layups this game than Sengun had minutes played.

    This was an exciting game. The first such game we've had in...... a long time.

    Exciting 4 quarter game. Then Silas realized we're supposed to be tanking...so he brought out the ****-it-up game plan for OT and we saw our last-place Rockets kick it into losing mode.

    And the Pacers gave us the Swiss cheese treatment after Myles Turner fouled out.
    So?
