    I mean let’s be real here.
    They’re probably going to lose in the first round but this real is fun as **** to watch.
    They will trade some pics and a member of the core for a superstar.
    Next year we make real noise

    MIN going for the layup with 0.2 seconds left on the game clock and all rocket players already off the floor is about as low class as it gets

    This. It was clear before the losing streak and its even clearer now.
    And yet people still think we are better with trading him. Ime won't have any of that.

    That’s criminal. The NBA schedule is crazy enough for all the teams as it is, but that’s beyond the pale.

    you can already see the defense was getting worse when jabari went down. they were somewhat able to hold without him. now that freddy is out, that was the last straw that broke it.

    the team needs to get healthy again. if not, they're going to be worse than a 0.500 team.

    So SRPs are more important than a backup PG and another C ???

    MAKE IT MAKE SENSE

    Cody don't cut it

    There is a thin line between confident and cocky....the vibe headed into the trade deadline was def cocky.

    And now we have a 5 game losing streak....

    I bet we don't even sign a significant buyout player cuz "we're ahead of schedule"

    Like I tell my kids: DO BETTER

    There is not a chance we are out of the playoffs. That’s a little bit too extreme

    How come Jalen shows up or at least tries to go off more against serious teams than our “All-Star” Sengun?

    When you play good defense you also give yourself more possessions and sometimes more easier possessions.

    I knew we should have traded for CJ 'Ain't gonna be no more layups' McCollum at the deadline

    The biggest worry for me is that the Rockets do not have a closer - and it's even worse without FVV on the court. Green aint it. Alpi is not aggressive enough or consistent enough (right now). Again, they will get through this and be better because of it. It's life. it's basketball. Relax.
