    Sengun and Amen blew the game, but Green is accountable because he had 0 FT. That's just as unacceptable.

    Can someone pull up ant man's first playoffs series?

    Didn't he come out firing all cylinders? Jalen is no where near that.


    Freddy is not a PG for this team. If I want to see my PG go 5/18, 5/20, 8/23 or whatever, I rather have dejounte murray. at least he's tall and not a liability on defense.

    You can’t bring Green or Fred back.

    We did the same thing to Curry. He went off. Let that sink in.

    They let Donkey and Post bully them down low.

    Sickening.

    Fred cannot be dominating the ball. He's so damn slow that half the shotclock is already gone by the time they're initiating their offense. And Ime needs to impose a rule that he's not allowed to have double digit shot attempts. I don't even care if he starts off 4-6 like he did tonight.

    It's not a coincidence that out of the last 4 games they've played against Golden State dating back 3 weeks, the 2 they've won were when Fred attempted less than 10 shots.

    He didn’t have to beat them in this game though. Jimmy wasn’t playing. Show us why you the #2 pick and why you wanted to be #1

    Our coach only cares defense.

    What else do you expect on offense?

    You cant win playoffs with defense only.

    I'm on board here if Ime's ego can handle it. I have friends texting me how they're second hand embarrassed for me for Rocket's offense LOL and how I can bear to watch every game of the season ... I'm starting to think they're onto something lol

    Fred needs to get out of Alpi and Jalen’s way, like in game 2. Any time he feels the need to be a scorer, our offense can’t get going. And I guess every time our offense can’t get going, he feels the need to be a scorer. I dunno which is the chicken and which is the egg, but I do know that Fred LAID an egg tonight. I’d rather have had him shoot like ass to start, because then at least he’d be deferring the whole game .

    its unbelieavable to me that so many people seem to think amen is close to being a star in this league. he's a very good defender and a flawed offensive player. it's not only the shooting, the decision making and handles are just far away from being anything close to good enough.

    18 shots. He shot 38% FG and 16% from the line. Ball don't lie.

    He's literally the only guy on the team who didn't get to the line. Our most athletic driver. How's that even possible? Getting pretty tired of his offensive disappearing act.

    Need to change/expand the lineup. You can’t have three-fifths of your starting lineup be awful and expect to win.

    Alpi has to stop hesitating when he gets the ball. Make a move and go. No one’s gonna fall for your pump fakes.

    Dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb stuff

    Probably the worst game Amen has had overall.

    But Jalen Green's inconsistency makes this Rockets team unreliable in the post season. I dont think Cam playing would have been this bad.

    I'm really sad for another wasted solid game from Jabri. He really needs a lot more time on the court.

    Though this was the best game from Payton, Moody and Podz all have had sub par games so far. And the back ups always play well at home so game 4 is gonna be really hard.

    Overall our starters haven't started well the entire series. The defensive effort has been great but damn sucks we couldn't get this game. Jimmy makes them so much better. Wouldn't be suprised if he is back for game 4. How disappointing!

    I saw him get the ball twice just past half court, he’s top of the FT line and he has one man to beat, (once it was Post who picked him up and Podz the other time) and he passed it off. I couldn’t believe it. Yes the D is going to crash down but you’re the most athletic player on the court, take it strong to the ****ing hole,
