    Bari had a great game against Minny before this poor performance last night.

    Glad you are not our GM, you’d trade players for peanuts after a bad game.

    Back-to-back in altitude after travelling for Bari's second game back from injury.

    Pardon me if I don't engage in apocalyptic overreactions here.

    1) Players have bad games. We don't need a new thread every time.

    2) Dude is coming off a months-long absence and on the second night of a B2B at altitude. Cut him some slack.

    3) Think before you post, if your new thread is just a couple of broken sentences that basically amount to "I think this player sucks and I'm mad" you're not contributing anything to the forum, you're just wasting space. It [does not always] Deserve Its Own Thread.

    It's his MO. Imanimal has never started a worthy thread. If the Mods won't do anything about it, there's no use wasting time complaining about the village idiot.

    He was playing great??? He’s averaging 11,1,6 for the season on 31 minutes per game. That’s beyond awful.

    Exactly lol. Mind you he was the third pick. Rocket fans are so impressed with mediocrity.

    just curious, who isn’t “awful” on the team, in your opinion, including Coach, GM, and owner?

    can you list them, or is it more like the weather … ie, it could change any time?

    You don't even care enough to correctly spell basic words or even a player's first name. Why should we care about your entitled, ultra reactionary opinion? This season has been a lot of things, but a waste is not one of them. I pity people like you who can't just enjoy the process and support the players while they don the red jersey. This is real life, not 2K bro.

    Jabari was definitely the worst starter vs Jazz, Rockets should not have played him so many minutes considering his recent return from injury + B2B. But that's on the coach, not the player.

    On offense either he or Jalen Green need to dive/slash to the rim.

    Both are too stagnant when playing off the ball.

    Udoka needs to install an indicator sign that lets one or the other "Go"

    *Keeping in mind Jalen Green responsibility is to be first one back to protect the rim
    and defend vs fast breaks the other way. Have someone else get back if Jalen slashes.



    Amen reads the defense and his high basketball i.q. doesn't need him to be told when to "Go"
    Teams know now to expect Amen to slash and game plan to box him out (or try) each play.

    I would have taken Deandre Hunter and his 19 ppg average in a straight up trade. 11ppg doesn’t cut it at the power forward position especially with Brooks only averaging 13 a game. We painfully need another scorer to help Alpi and Jalen out. Thanks Stone for doing zippo to help this team.

    He gets 8 attempts a game not a surprise he will only average 11. Its not his fault if his teammates dont pass to him and Udoka does nothing to make him get more shots.

    Cavs just signed vet 3-D Javonte Green after buyout. This would have been a nice addition + system fit for Rockets.

    Inconsistent trash, i really wish we traded him for a bag of Cheetos or something. That would be more useful than his sorry ass.

    He was showing tons of improvement before he got injured. I think it takes him a few games to shake off the rust.
