    A matchup nightmare for the Rockets in the playoffs are the Warriors and the Kings.

    Our perimeter defence sucks on both games against Sac. They hit open shots.

    Totally forgot to mention Tari. What a game to comeback from missing a month of basketball.

    Yall must be blind. Literally Sengun single handledly got us 5 stops in a row down the stretch. Fouled out Sabonis took him to school in the paint. And you think he's the reason we lost?

    Both times we played the kings we got these refs that absolutely didn't want us to win. If we get a fair whistle we best then easily. Surprised everyone didn't get ejected today. Plus we didn't have fvv

    Sengun's defense kept us in the game late.

    What? I said that to the dude that said: "one of the best comebacks of all-time." Wasn't even a comeback...lost by 5. And even if the Rockets came back and won, it would be miles from one of the best comebacks of all-time.

    That is why I asked him if he just started following the NBA last week.

    So, you think the Rockets will be the 2nd in the West in April? Doubtful, but why even discuss it? Months away. Both conferences will be way different in April than they are now. Duh.

    The three calls the ref blew against Dillon in the last quarter were simply a war criminal performance.

    Sooo proud of the boys and their fight on a B2B against a very tough team. This team is for real and maybe one piece of away.

    I am ok with getting healthy and playing this season out!

    Some of the things I didn't like.

    1. Sengun Defense.
    2. Rockets not going to Sengun enough and running the offense thru him.
    3. Cam body language late in the 2nd quarter. I hate that cry baby ish about him.
    4. Missed FVV. I really think he makes this team better. Please just hate on him for no reason. With him, we win this game.

    Referees don't want Dillon Brooks to succeed. These LeBron James Bribed Referees.

    Things I noticed at the game:
    Ime constantly pulling Amen and Jalen aside to talk to them during free throws and dead balls. Didn't see the Kings coach do it a single time.

    Cam Whitmore was the only player sitting in his seat on either team's bench during the last 3 or 4 minutes.

    Jalen and Dillon were the first two Rockets out during shootaround and Jalen spent most of it talking to a coach and watching film. He was also really friendly with the kings stadium staff.

    If the Rockets play Great Games on National TV. Adam Silver and Referees will give them Calls in the Playoffs.
    Everyone enjoyed the Game. Even TNT Crew enjoyed it, saying it was 5 on 8, were sad about the Referees.
