This is so ****ing bad. Ime actually benched Sengun and Reed for the "closers" Tate and Holiday who have both been trash the entire game. Tate was a step slow and the opponent just drained the 3 in his face. Holiday wasnt even in the backcourt for the ******* inbound even if he is the guard. Dude really left DLo all alone no wonder Rockets couldnt inbound it was 4v5. Holiday is so dumb sprinted and left DLo all alone wtf. I dont get it Sengun was clearly beasting and our 2nd clutch guy after JG and you bench him Tate? Holiday has been 0 the entire game and you bring him over Sheppard or Cam??? Posters here are blaming the players or even the team but this is all on Ime not paying attention and playing the worst performers at the critical time.
Reed missed some shots, but he looked confident and decisive. He made some nice defensive plays too. He looked like he belonged.
The Rockets got too relaxed and in a way cocky at the end...you can tell by Dillon Brooks body language with his free throws, Jalen joking around with him missing those free throws...smh, we lost our focus and then Tate leaving ole boy open for 3...dumbass defense. Udoka should've been aware of our mental and should've called a timeout after that 3 to advanced the ball. Overall, bad game from the team, except for Sengun and Sheppard.
Right? If I didnt feel uncomfortable enough already with this team holding a lead, now I can't even feel safe up two possessions with 8 seconds left.
There were a few times in the game he just ignored wide open guys. I don't know if it's lack of court vision or by choice.
Agreed. There’s clearly was nobody open to get the ball to for a few seconds. Call a TO and get an inbounds play on the side. Terrible coaching for the majority of this game
I would trade Fred for LaMelo. I would also trade Jalen for Durant. It’s a good trade, someone tell me it’s not.
This is one of those losses that necessitate us taking a little break from the Rockets…I’ll see y’all next game but until then, let’s go R33D! Glad to see him play well
Team is showing that they’re still young and have a lot of growing up to do, I think we’re for sure missing Jabari rim protection and length down low. Showed a ton vs Jaren Jackson
I mean with the way he has been playing this season, I guess the bar isn't really high for him to clear anyways. Hopefully this is the game that makes him turn it around, because we need a silver lining from this atrocious loss.
Why do we ever have Tate in a closing line up?????? IT NEVER WORKS. We lose every game Ime puts him out there in the last minute of close games. Tate let that scrub cleanly get a quick catch and shoot with no resistance. Then when Amen inbounds, Tate is just staring....he doesn't move at all. Goddamnit Ime.
