    Why Amen should be moved to starting point. Let him lock up these point guards every night

    This is where respect is obviously lost in terms of being a true top contender. At home and you're getting beat down by a team missing their best player.

    Denver just relentlessly looks to push the ball ahead. The Rockets are walkers.

    Rockets badly need this L for a reset. It's been building for a while.

    It's no coincidence that Denver started to run away in the 3rd once Amen got his rest. Murray went nuts afterwards.

    This is a loss with or without Jokic. The Nuggets came ready to play. That's ok, we will make it up on the roadtrip.

    I think Stone and company know that. The playoffs will expose the true needs as well as what they have. The goal for this season was to make the playoffs, and they will likely do that.

    Trust the process.

    Rockets got fat playing all those scrub teams. Now they play a good team (without Jokic) and look outclassed.

    Amen is awesome but he tends to have the let down games after big performances. After the Celtics game, played poorly against the Hawks. After the Spurs game, played poorly the next game. And then now after the Heat game......

    We need an athletic big in the worst way. No more slow footed dinosaurs. Someone who can actually switch on the perimeter at times.

    they have 76 points near the end of the 3rd barely on pace to score 100 points in the year 2025

    they are shooting 31% from deep and 61% on free throws

    And scoring isn’t a problem?

    stone didn't even bother upgrading the backup 1 position which was an obvious weakness. I don't trust Stone to be forward thinking and making risky deals. he plays too safe.
