    Coach sucks

    I see no adjustments at all.

    What is Ime doing?

    This is the downside to Fred getting off to a hot start. It gets the other players out of rhythm, and then when he stops making his shots, he keeps jacking them up anyway.

    If it does it wouldn't be a surprise.... FT shooting has been a massive issue all season that was going to be a concern come playoff time.

    ESPECIALLY Sengun... and also Adams so long as he's playing.

    Jalen having only 4 shots is wild.

    Bruh some things are elementary when bari is being guarded curry podz or buddy give

    bari needs to go to the post or high post the ball needs to be swung to him then space out and let him take advantage of the mismatch it’s no different from what Dillon does when he has a smaller man on him

    know who is on the floor get him the ball and work out they have no choice but do double those match ups

    For all the points Fred has this game, I strongly dislike how he’s been playing. He’s got to get back to being a facilitator, I’d much rather Alpi and Green get going by taking tons of shots as opposed to Fred.

    And Green can't have 4 FG attempts. Let it fly with Sengun's shot not falling

    I'm so tired of Ime, but we're stuck with him

    Theyve deployed a defense to deny him from even getting attempts

    I knew they were going to choke their free throws tonight. That will bite us.

    As was said in Game 1, too slow getting the ball up and getting into our offense (among many other issues). And the FT shooting...so bad.

    But that means someone is wide open if they'd move the ball.

    That 1st half was an atrocity of choking and stupidity. Rockets should be up by 20 but they didn't have the toughness and focus.

    Don't give me the excuse they are a young team. Some of the possessions on offense were below NBA level.

    Alpi showing some serious mental softness. I don't know what in the world Jalen is doing sometimes.

    Amen is clearly overcome by the moment. DB was the best player but he stupidly committed 4 fouls.

    Any of you blaming the refs for any fouls calls are just hopeless.

    Rockets are so lucky the Warriors only have two players tonight that are worth more than 5 cents.

    It's not like Fred was playing hero ball...he was just taking his open shots...

    I don't think he's done anything to mess up other player's rhythm tbh.

    This is just an offensively challenged team
