    5-8 on back to backs. Got to get past that obstacle. Sucks that Aquaman and Eason have to rehab on those days. Jabari couldn't get in rythmn with the unfriendly whistle.

    He was horrible...don't know how many different ways you can say it. All of them are justified. That said...he was not alone. DB was even worse shooting 1/6 from 3. Our defense is laughable and we were out rebounded by 17 ...square Kessler had 17 himself.

    At what point do people start realising Udoka's way of coaching is affecting the players?

    To me it's pretty clear it's happening with Sengun and Cam at a minimum.

    Knowing how to manage player's on a personal level and their egos is just as vitally important as X and Os - and if this was a 2K metric - his slider would be stuck on 0 for that stat.

    I think that a lot of our guys being unable to play in back-to-backs is part of the reason we suck so much on them. The best ability is availability, and we have too many guys unavailable.

    That sometimes you, sometimes me bull**** needs to go away.... You can tell Brooks came up with it to justify his offensive involvement in the shot taking... Needs to be " Yall 2 need to play lights out and we'll follow your lead"

    The guy who chooses to play Aaron Holiday doesn't get to talk about anyone else's IQ

    Jazz are really hot garbage.

    Now what was said after the game about this being a tougher b2bthen on paper because going to Utah and they stayed home and they didn't even actually play last night since OKC blew them out the moment the ball tipped, sure sure sure, but still should have been a W. They played with their food way too long.

    All in all, the overreactions here every game are hilarious to me. If I told you all the Rockets would be 5th in the West you all would take that. I know that because I can look at the pre-season threads and see this.

    I understand they play tough teams coming up but they've played tough teams all season and they beat tough teams. They were caught slipping tonight and they have simply struggled without an NBA starting level PG on the court and likely will continue to do so.

    People might laugh but Ben Simmons would have actually helped this team a lot lol.

    Not sure what you're implying. REB by starters:

    Alp - 12
    Amen - 9
    Dillon - 9
    Jabari - 2
    Jalen - 3

    Missed the game. Looking at the box score I guess I’m shocked. What freaking happened?

    We are already paying DB $22M to be 4/11 and 1/6 from 3. Bari did get his 8 shots as he normally does but hit ONE shot...abysmal. Last night he hit 5 of 8...don't know what happened...worse only 2 rebounds.

    He is not a good starter. Bari definitely has that fire when he comes off the bench
