    Proud of the Rockets! It’s been an amazing experience, almost like playoff intensity, which is great since most of our players lack that kind of experience.

    However…..

    I hope we can improve our offense and find a closer like Shai. Honestly, I’d consider trading Jalen Green for someone who’s hungrier on offense. I truly believe that if Jalen had that hunger, he could be another T-Mac.

    fred HAS to go. there's absolutely no way we can even get out of the first round of the playoffs is this floating pile of garbage i still on this team after the trade deadline. or bring him off of the bench. he is a literal cancer to this teams success.

    I think the worst thing is knowing that OKC didn't even play well, and had we just hit our FTs or our "stars" step up in an average way then it's a great game.

    Instead, shamefully offensive performances all around.

    Maybe he should take his frustration out on a basketball and basket, you know, practicing shooting higher than 20% from open shots inside 10 feet.

    Could be worse. Could have Jalen Green playing 82 games a year.

    we dont have the worst backcourt cuz if we had that we wouldnt get the 2nd seed with 2/5 of the starters being the worst.

    2/19 from 3 for our starting backcourt isn't great

    There really is no telling what will happen. OKC had a dynasty before with Russ, KD, and Harden...and it never happened.

    So I don't think Butler is the move, he's old, he might ruin chemistry, let's just see how this season turns out. This was never going to be a year where we contend, the hopes was always playoffs and it looks like they are on track for that. I'd rather wait for a better player or see if Sengun can continue to grow then have Butler come in and potential ruin the chemistry our guys are finding with each other.

    Ryan Anderson came to Houston and all of the sudden could not shoot at home

    Jabari: elite shooting prospect turned to below average shooter

    Reed: elite shooting prospect who can’t hit a shot

    we’re cursed

    Don’t agree with people saying team is soft.

    Not being able to hit a wide open 3 lets teams sag off the shooters a bit and collapse the paint. Makes it harder for sengun down low. Hard to score with 2-3 guys on you down low

    These dudes need a damn shooting coach
