    We wasted 5 years in the lottery and have yet to draft a real superstar. Amen or Sengun has the highest ceiling but with their weaknesses, it's hard to imagine either of them ever being top 5 players. Top 10 maybe but definitely not top 5 like prime Curry/Lebron/KD/Jokic/Harden tier.

    Those are the kind of players we need to win it all.

    The Rockets losing to the Warriors was the most predictable series in the entire NBA playoffs.

    Team kinda relaxed after going up early. Warriors know better. Playoffs are about adjustments. They countered and the young guys quickly realized this isnt a cold February night where everyone wants to go to the local strip club for warmth.

    Need to tighten things up and get this game even.

    34 is bad for offense

    But 47 is good for defense

    Easy comeback

    We will learn more from this half than we would have learned by kicking ass. It's best to get humbled. Stay hungry.

    Might have to drop the big lineup against the Warriors, they are wise to it and the momentum died the moment we went to it.

    The fact we weren't even getting rebounds during it hurts a lot.

    As much as I love the Rockets, I at least am going to financially benefit from the heart break.

    I feel sorry for those who didn't do that.

    I don't think Reggie knows the "Rockets leading scorer" averaged 13ppg against the Warriors this season.
