    This was such a competitive game and it wasn't by chance that we won. So many contributed. A great team win. I'm impressed with the Rockets resiliency tonight.

    Depends on where we're drafting, honestly we should probably trade out of the draft, we already have more players than we can play.

    If we land the top pick or even top 3, fine, take it, but aside from that I'm not sure you bother.

    If it was an every game thing, he would be the best player of all time. Man the bar for Jalen is so high nobody could get over it.

    that's what happens when you dont really have a true rebuild in Houston. Rockets have gone for star to star to star for decades.

    I feel like this was the first true dark times.

    Jalen initated contact on Edey, but he didn't dislodge him. I think the refs made the right call.

    Maybe I’m old school but I believe you always take the BPA unless you can move the pick for assets.

    I know that Cam is frustrated sometimes but I genuinely think Udoka is trying to develop him into something more than the next Jamal Crawford. Cam has the potential to be Jaylen Brown level of offensive and defensive talent. If Udoka just let him chuck shots he would quickly develop into just another 6th man bench scoring type of player.

    Brooks is having trouble replacing Jabari. I agree with you.

    6'8" Wells and JJJ combined for 2 rebounds and they each played 30 minutes.

    It seems to me that Fred is trying to play around Jalen and take a backseat and sort of let him to run the offence on most times down lately. Some games now Fred isn't even looking to be aggressive in taking shots.

    Wouldn't apply, we had a first round pick last year, we'll have one this year, and we'll have one next year.

    The Stepien rule only counts if you don't have a first round pick at all due to trades 2 seasons in a row.

    Maybe let's give it a few more games but I think there may be something to this.
