    Protip to Ime: When you're down by 3 with <24 seconds to go, take three pointers

    He does this every time, takes the "easier" 2 point attempt on the worst FT shooting team in the league, and hopes to win the FT shooting contest. It's a losing proposition.

    Get it to Jalen or Jabari (who can get it off basically whenever they want) and gamble on the 30% chance. It's not complicated.

    Fred played 39 minutes and was 2 - 14

    If he had just been decent, they could have overcome the Refs.

    Bad take... jalen was imitating tmac hiding in the game. It was embarrassing, we were playing 4v5.

    this looked like a preview of what’s to come in the playoffs

    screwed by the refs, great defense, 42% from the field and 32% from deep, Fred going 2-14, Jalen inefficient, and our “All-Star” not putting the team on his back

    He's too up and down. He should be more consistent by now. This was the type of game where you'd want to see him take it to the Lakers. Instead, he's a non factor. The officiating was poor but the Rockets lost because guys like Jalen didn't show up while FVV chunked the ball and nobody could hit a jumper with any consistency.

    We better hope we don’t get matched up with the Lakers in the first round.

    Likely just a 4-7 game whistle-fest in their favor.

    What a crap ending!

    The refs screwed us - but we didnt do ourselves any favors on a few bonehead plays down the stretch.

    Ime wont accept to sit guys that r struggling... FVV isnt going to suddenly kick it into gear in the 4th quarter after struggling...

    Jordan played against guys who wouldnt even be in the GLeague today.

    Lebron has played over 20 yrs and went to 10 finals zeroing on one bad game when he has had far more great games is just dumb af.

    That’s what makes me upset. The Lakers aren’t even that good. The Rockets had multiple chances to blow the game open.

    Ime is so stubborn, it’s almost like he planned to lose tonight. No adjustments whatsoever, he benches cam for making simple mistakes while bringing so much to our offense. Meanwhile fred gets to do whatever the **** he wants. Jalen gets benched when he’s struggling, Sengun gets benched when he’s struggling. He never ever benches Fred or Dillon(played decent tonight). He has his favorites and he’s willing to win or lose with them no matter what

    Unfortunate loss, but our guys had a really bad shooting night and yet we were still in it all the way!

    Jalen could’ve been more aggressive, but I guess he wasn’t feeling it. Still think he should’ve been in it to close out.

    Alpi was fouled a ton of times with no calls…

    Jabari was great. Tari—despite the great energy—still makes a few too many mistakes offensively for my liking.

    Fred and DB have to be better. Dillon needs to stop thinking he’s Kobe whenever he plays against LeBron. You can’t hijack our whole offense to prove a point
