    For a 6’11” power forward, it’s definitely above average lol. Reed was 32% in that same
    Stretch.

    I’ve obviously got a rockets addiction and probably am incapable of completely checking out. I’m just really upset that I went to back to back games in Portland (was looking forward to that since the start of the season), and we lost both in embarrassing fashion. That and the fact that I have to listen to my Blazers buddies give me sh#t the rest of the season. The rockets let me down big time.

    I get it. But the Sun shall rise again tomorrow and it’s a new day (although, if you live in Portland lol it just may not be visible..) I used to visit there a lot back in the days and I tell you every single time I went to visit it always rained.. without fail lol. Maybe it was just dumb luck

    Without KD, I can't tell difference between the team and Silas team.

    He was drafted with 3rd pick because of shooting.

    Obviously his shooting in nba is always disappointing.

    Bari picked a bad time to start playing this awful with his bobble head night on the 18th lol.

    There’s only supposed to be 3000 but they might end up with more when fans bring back Bari’s rookie bobble head in disgust. lol

    Yes becuase sack of **** Udoka playing Jabari 41 minutes when he was 0-10 from 3 is KDs fault.

    Getlemen, he might not only be a complete casuals, he might be mentally challenged!

    Yeah that somepne was me. And Ive never stopped saying it. None of our young guys are in their prime and the expectation for us to be contenders was always stupid. This was a bad trade.

    Kerr survived because of Steph Curry. I said this in the offseason and Ill say it again. KD is overrated and he knew it, thats why he ran to GSW. He would be ringless if he didnt.

    The KD trade was a mistake. Him coming basically signals we're trying to win now and that comes with a lot of expectations our young core currently can't live up to. Spurs have already surpassed us because they got a generational player, we never did through the draft so we're stuck on hoping our guys turn into stars in their primes (which only Sengun seems to be capable of).

    I think his talent is top tier, his mindset is the problem, also he is so skinny he looks more like a volleyball player.

    The problem with Stone, he is always steps too late, with Silas, with KPJ, with Green, now with Udoka and KD.

    Let them really fester until he takes action.

    He's not a leader. He wont lead you to anything. His numbers will look pretty though. He's Carmelo Anthony more than he's MJ or anyone else they try to compare him to.

    Couldn’t be more out on this team. Absolute losers. Find ways to choke.

    Glad I didn't waste my night watching this nonsense. All these losses to subpar teams have turned me numb to this b.s. I don't see a whole lot of IQ or fight besides Sengun, Durant, and Amen. This team desperately misses Dillon (the fight) and Fred (the IQ).

    It is what it is.
