    By the way I hope this solidifies how important Alpi is to the team. Regardless of shooting efficiency, he is our most steady offensive player and one that can get us a post bucket pretty much whenever. We missed Fred’s steadying presence, I guess, but he was playing pretty bad too. In my opinion Alpi is way more important to what we do than FVV is. But I’m biased and I’m ok with that :p

    Did Amen switch places with Ausar secretly? Last I checked Ausar had braids and Amen didn't. Just sayin

    They're down 11 in the 4th right now to the AD-less Lakers.

    Reed made fun of his pink shoes recently. Amen going through it.

    Agree with all of that except Jalen. I don't think he was dog ****, but on a scale of 1-10 I'd say that was a 4.5....Not very efficient, not great defense, not much playmaking...But that said, he was the best player tonight even if that's not saying much...

    This. And the ball was moving with Reed in there. He likewise made several great passes and the last one to Amen who was alone under the basket but failed to cash in. Reed can see passing lanes that are quite unusual for his size. He should be given more playing time since his defense is not a negative anyway. He may end up being a much better PG with a deadlier long-range shot than FVV. I hope gives him more playing time. It's time.

    I don't care if we only have 4 players available, you never play Jock real minutes. Might as well concede the game.

    This was just a game but it demonstrated how hard it is to win only with dogs, you better have some brains and direction. It is also not good for Alperen as he might get even more attention by the opposing teams

    I wonder how many steps the Rockets will fall in the next power rankings

    You won't get him either, he's not getting traded twice. He ran pretty good offense in Toronto.

    If I'm not mistaken, Patty Mills is more a SG than a PG.

    Ime played Amen 40 mins even as he is having the worst game of his life. Played FVV 16 mins when he is 3 pts.

    Ime is beyond horrible at rotations. Doesnt know who is playing good and who is playing bad. When I see the worst performing guy play the most minutes I know Ime ****ed up.

    What are his assistants doing? Ime is busy with in the moment coaching his assistants should tell him who is doing well and who isnt.

    This is like the Pistons game, hopefully they will bounce back.

    If you watched the game you'd see a lot of potential assists. Guys like Holiday were lobbing bricks.

    And around 59% ts isn't bad.

    Reed also has that uncanny passing ability that he showed before, but it was quite evident tonight. I noticed too that the Nets always had someone on him.

    Youre on here upset that he said Sengun was the best player. Youre trying to gaslight and turn him into an Amen hater but really the problem with the post was that it called AMen the best player on the Rockets. And he disagreed and that made you upset so now youre on here gaslighting and calling people haters for simply telling the truth. Maybe what youre mad at is that its now clear to everyone that Sengun is the best player on the team and you cant stand it lol

    Didn’t even watch because I thought it would be a boring win.
    How the hell do you lose to the Nets?
