    Got to hear 3/4’s of the first quarter before iheart cut it off here in PHX. Thought to myself, “one of those games eh”, later I flipped over to NBA Gametime live and saw JBjr miss the FT on purpose, like WTF?

    Of course they cut to another game so didn’t get to see anything else yet but nice to have things align for H Town on a comeback. That FT miss was nails…….

    While they were bombing from 3.....they seemingly had nothing interior defense wise...at least what I saw in the 2nd half.

    He just needed the right situation that would give him a chance. Dude has a great shot, incredible work ethic, good defender and a good team player. Cam is physically more talented but is just out of control at times. Kind of like a wild Mustang that just needs to be tamed.

    Not everyone has to like Alpi. But I’m not sure how anyone with a brain can say him at #16 is not a good pick.

    Alpi was a good pick at that place in the draft. Forgot about Alpi.

    4 out of 5 starters didn't play well, they were hitting 3s left and right so Ime decided to go with a quick switchable lineup. It worked as in the third quarter the team tied the game after being down 25.

    Now everyone in Houston knows who Quentin Grimes is.

    Rafael Stone passed up Quentin Grimes for Usman Garuba and Josh Christopher late in the Draft.

    Now we just need the Raptors to one up us and pull a 30pt comeback against the Suns. LOL

    The Rockets have money to get Quentin Grimes if Quentin Grimes is interested. Quentin Grimes played with a lot emotion and yelling at the Rockets. Ime Udoka and Rockets Assistants wasn't here in 2021, Quentin. Lol.

    Can't remember a better Rocket's comeback. I looked at the fourth quarter score, and thought, there is no way they are coming back in this one.

    Yeah Grimes looked pretty good today but has he ever shat his pants while playing for his country?
