    The possessions were elate I the shot clock when he launched those three’s. I jsut wished we involved The other rockets in the possesion to close the game

    It is not dumb, he hates Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore at this point, Ime Udoka needs to be held Accountable. No way Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore score 57 points and they sit on the bench over Jabari Smith and Fred VanVleet.

    Jalen was arguably the best defender out there tonight outside of Amen. Yet you’re up here defending someone who jacked up 3 threes in the last two minutes lmao.

    This was easily winnable. Fred rushed and wanted to shoot. That cost us the game. Sengun also needs to make free throws.

    We win this game by 15 if Tari and Dillon were active.

    His lineup in final minutes can't do much on offense.

    Texans and Rockets have a Coaching Problem.

    Did you even watch the collapse? Fred kept bricking 3s. Green was on the bench maybe if he was playing we would've won the game.

    Yep Sengun started to believe his own hype and got too fancy.

    Great lesson for the stupid people who celebrate victory before the end. Games aren't over until they're over.
    This game could mark a "before" and "after" in Udoka's career in Houston. Inexplicable game management, he looked like an amateur coach.

    Lol what? He went 1/2 both times so yes he made 1 free throw.

    Why did Fred chuck 3 threes in a row. Why Jalen throw the ball away.. just stop with this nonsense. Really the defense got soft and we thought we won gave up too many easy buckets,

    You sound ridiculous.
    Seriously.
    #2 seed in his second season after winning 22 games in 2023. Come on, dude.

    Kevin just pointed out the T-Wolves bench outscored the Rockets bench 50-10.

    Their bench also played 96 mins vs. 43 mins for the Rockets.

    That was the difference tonight. Missing DB and Tari, along with Udoka not adjusting, is why the Rockets lost.

    Every Fan sees it, Ime Udoka doesn't like and don't Trust Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore. Ime Udoka wants 80 - 90 point games, slow half Court offense.
    Even Reed Sheppard is terrified of Ime Udoka.

    JaeSean Tate and Jabari Smith are scrubs and they play over Jalen Green and Cam Whitmore late in the 4th.
