    The Rockets are just so difficult to watch. No productive structure on offense, just everyone getting the green light to jack up ridiculous shots. I rarely watch them but when I do, I'm normally doing a lot of shaking my head in disbelief and feeling disappointment.

    This dude still prolly can only rely on defense even with Luka and Wemby on the team.

    I do not know which is worse, dude knows in every presser what the problem is but he rarely addresses it in time.

    Reality:

    Amen can’t shoot more than 6 ft. No dribble pullup j. No post. One dimensional on offense.

    Sheppard slow off the dribble. Can’t get in the paint consistently or finish there. Has a habit of jacking up unbalanced shots. Weak man and help defense

    Management needs to take a serious look at moving these 2. Love what they bring but they are very limited players that aren’t the right pieces to a championship

    We look really bad, we have lost to the really really bad teams of the west. Not a good omen.

    Their roles are incorrect

    Amen Thompson should be a SF/PF and Reed Sheppard be the starting PG and initiates the offense with Alperen Sengun 2 man game with Kevin Durant being a spot up shooter.

    Wow interesting, that Udoka give the game after the third Quarter up! The Bench Players was not better then the starting players! I think the Clippers had a very lucky night thats all! They will never hit with that high percentage again!
    I think all need some holidays to reset their brains and health but the NBA is a very hard league! No holidays for NBA Players at Christmas time. I think they must keep calm. The body languague is bad right now. If you lose so tough games thats kind of understandable i guess.

    How in the world are we favored by 3.5 points against the Lakers on Christmas?

    The Spurms have balled out of their minds the last 3 weeks, that is how you cope.....put it into perspective.

    Once the Spurs become the Hunted, everything reverses and they get scrub teams coming at them hard.....

    and every 7 footer and line backers are banging body with the Alien.

    I can't believe that I'm more excited to watch the Texans than the Rockets..

    This Rockets team are pretenders, been saying it for weeks now. KD eventually kills every team he goes to.

    We were better last year because Brooks instilled that hustle attitude in all of our guys. This year we are just so lazy. Look what he's done for the Suns.. they were clearly going to be a bottom feeder and somehow they are a playoff team this year.

    Kevin Duhrant has ruined our culture. I want Jalen and DB back.
