Ime Udoka on Rockets late-game decisions, win over Bucks 2/25/2025

I think this is just part of him growing up. Super dumb. He immediately knew it too. Hopefully he thinks about it a bunch and doesn't do it again.

 

I hope you have a better day tomorrow. Rockets won + I'm still celebrating.

 

im doing great. I am just stating my honest thoughts on a stupid pass. If that bothers you then simply don’t read.

 

lol dumbest pass in nba history is a stretch. KPJ was out there tonight having a master class in dumb passes. Tari too.

dumbest pass or whatever you want to call it still has to be morris Peterson shot to tie the game..

Dunno Sengun’s pass was pretty close. Its up there. Top 5 or 3.

 

I miss the days of everyone just battling the LOFs.

 

Ehh. I'm ok with the turnover. Much better than players who are timid and can't even make a play. It was actually a totally logical pass attempt. That guy would have had an easy 2 after Alpi drew defenders.

To you it seems crazy, but to people with passing talent they can make that pass, it's not outside of what they know to be possible. Don't compare your definition of reasonable passing with Alpi's, you're a vegetable compared to his passing IQ. Just a turnover at a bad time. Great learning experience and we won anyway. Happy for the young playmakers to be served lessons if we still get the win. He'll be better for it.

Sometimes you have to remind yourself no one has the balls to have their 3 top playmakers average 22 years old. If you don't expect more erratic play from them than you do from playmakers averaging 27 years old, that's on you. These are the lumps we have intelligently chosen to take. When OKC was in this phase a season or two ago, it was the same they had the talent but made mistakes. They had to learn from regular season failures and playoff failures. Orlando is the same.

You are not looking at Orlando and thinking "they make so many mistakes on offense, they suck". You tell yourself they're pretty damn good given their age and they will be great in the future. Keep that same energy for our guys.

 

The amount of Sengun hate is wild

 

This is a reasonable take. Same thing I said about Amen a few weeks ago.

 

Exactly. Not sure where that even came from

 

Even if the pass was good Jabrari likely would have missed both free throws or turned it over. Alpi will learn from this, but we’re lucky it didn’t cost us a spot or two in the standings.

 

You don't attempt no look behind the back passes with seconds left in the 4th quarter. That was a low basketball iq play and he exposed himself

 

That pass was beautiful. Just needs to be 1000x smarter next time.

 

Honestly it was probably more of chemistry as Jabari has been out because you can see he stopped cutting. The only reason it was dumb is cuz of how much time was left. He shoulda have just held the ball. Shouldn't even have been a turnover though cuz Jalen sure looked like he got fouled in the backcourt first. Especially if they gonna call that touch foul on Tari when Dams jacked it up from half court.

 

he has done so many of these dumb unnecessary passes before but they weren’t critical end of game situations like this. This is just unacceptable. Quite arrogant and unnecessary showmanship.

 

Obviously it was a dumb pass, but I'm glad Alpi got in his bag again. I feel like he had a significant drop off in his creative passing. He looked much more free last year to pass behind the back, between his legs, over the shoulder, etc finding cutters and getting guys open. I miss that.

 

Jeremy made the dumbest turnover in the history of the NBA

 

in all fairness everyone had their moment of madness to the end of the game there. brooks 5 second in bound call when jabari is standing open the entire time at the top of the key? like i didn't understand this one at all..

 

He stuck to the play call and didn’t bail out Green for starting too late.

 

During the D’Antoni years, we only had to wait about Green or Tucker making the bonehead mistakes, but with this current core anybody onthe roster wants to be donkey on any given night outside of Uncle Jeff and FVV. . Ime has to be frustrated. I be furstrated
