    lmfao dude we just lost to the Kings and Nets 5x times. This team is addicted to choking against bad teams.

    Don't forget we just lost to Utah also. We actually play better against good teams

    The Kings aren't a bad team. Average, yes. But they don't suck.

    The Pelicans, Suns, Bulls, and Sixers are all a mess right now. And even the Magic have been pretty lousy over the last 2 months(7-17 record).

    I'm not saying the Rockets can't lose to any of them, but it would require them to not even show up and compete.

    Unless the defense is somehow raised from the dead, expect a beatdown tonight.

    Hopefully the Rockets can hold them under 130.

    The bright side?
    1 Amen moves back to PG, where he looked soooo comfortable the Spurs. Hopefully he can regain that.
    2 Jabari will have plenty of opportunity to find his stroke.
    3 Those who want Cam and Reed to get some run will get their wish.
    4 Dante gets on the floor!

    The Kings are a good team, actually.
    The Nets losses were bad, but in a long, long season even good teams have stinkers.
    The Rockets are improving. After where this franchise was not long ago, I can't be mad about 5 losses.

    Based on who might be out… Fred, Tari, Aquaman, Sengun, Dillon, and Amen. Reed and Cam might play 40 each

    FVV
    Jalen
    Brooks
    Amen
    Sengun


    This lineup has played about 230ish mins together and this 5 man lineup has a -8.5 net rating. This is the worst 5 man lineup so far this season.

    Ime's brilliant idea is to play them together more.

    Ime Udoka pregame...

    Fred, Tari out. Sengun, Amen, Dillon all gametime decisions based on warmups.

    Yes, because our record is soooo good when Fred doesn’t play.

    This one feels like an ass beating. Someone is going to need to have a career game for it to stay close I'm afraid.
