    Rockets have been fortunate in recent close games. When a game is close that late it's 5050, you will win some, and lose some.

    Stretch has been an unquestioned success.

    Yeah that was the problem all night. Adams is too slow to guard JJJ on the drive so they just pull him out there then torture us. This is why Jabari and Sengun are so important. You are correct.

    i don’t think there was any plan… milkhair udoka has zero plays on his etch-a-sketch he just rolls the ball out and tells the guys to play hard

    Yeah guys this one just sucks because it was a winnable game. Amen smoked the easy alley oop lay up. Jalen missed a ft at the end.

    key swing was Jalen missing the 3 with 4 mins that would have put us up 11. Instead JJJ gets an and 1.

    FVV should stick with catch and shoot 3s.

    Yeah I mean 4-2 is great, we can't expect to win them all. I was just happy seeing Amen hit those mid range jump shots, dude knows what needs to be developed for superstardom.

    They knew the ball was going to Amen there. Jalen was so bad down the stretch, Sengun is out, and FVV can’t get inside…

    Where else was the ball going to go.

    He lost the ball once in the fourth. He was at least getting to the rim or drawing fouls.

    i love how Jalen whined for a whole possession because Tari didn't pass him the bal in the back court, and then next possesion he goes coast to coast and gets stripped by that rookie

    I don't understand that last play! Why shoot a 3 when you're down 1 point???

    They were denying Green the inbounds the hardest.

    We're not getting Fox. They're not going to do that mid season. Didn't have Sengun tonight either so we were forced into Jalen/FVV iso ball.
