    The older the GSW get, the more likely it is that the Rockets will be able to beat them in a 7 game series.

    That’s probably the Rockets best hope: patience.

    dude
    If someone makes 8 threes you don’t keep leaving him open. Have you been drinking tonight? He’s a 40% career three point shooter lol.

    The rockets need to reevaluate and not make rash decisons. We will have a shooter in Sheppard. Jabari and Tari will be better and can be good shooters as well. These players seem promising with their work ethic and continuous improvement.

    Now for Jalen Green. He need a different environment. "If" he doesn't get traded. He needs to be in the 6th man role. Instant offense. Less pressure on him to become that star. The other players will develop. We see the improvement.

    Just need experience and patience.

    Let's go Rockets! Great season. Come back stronger next year

    40% whats 8/9? What are the chances 40% 3 pt shooter hits 16/18?

    Which is the higher prob Buddy Hield goed 16/18 for the game or Curry ends the night 0 pts? Ime made the wrong choice and with hindsight we know its wrong cuz we lost.

    We dont know if Hield would have stayed hot in the 2nd half but guarding him was obv the wrong choice cuz we lost.

    It really is crazy. He did nothing but hit big shot after big shot but we just HAD to stay with guys like Brooks and Jalen despite them giving nothing for multiple games.

    We needed shooters to break the zone tonight and played him like what, 17 mins?

    Sooner rather than later he will force himself back into the starting lineup. He is just too good.

    Rockets lost this game primarily because their offense was atrocious, despite having 11 more offensive rebounds than GS.

    I think Jalen's bad play took the luster off of a pretty good Rockets' season overall, but it really shouldn't. We did WELL, despite losing to Golden State. So many people said they'd be proud of the Rockets no matter what--just to turn on the team after this loss.

    I think the league had better be scared of what the Rockets will bring next season. Outside of Clutchfans, people are acutely aware of the potential our team has.

    I don't know what Alpi's ceiling is. I don't know if Amen can develop a jump shot. I don't know if Jabari's offensive role will expand. ****, I don't know if Jalen will even BE here next season.

    But I *do* know that we're on the rise. And we're just getting started.

    what are the chances a 40% shooter starts missing WIDE open threes after he’s super hot already. Dude shut the **** up you sound like an idiot.

    NBA Lottery #2 or #3 pick would ease the Pain.

    They lost because the Warriors are champs who know how to close.
