    I was just thinking that too!

    15-16 Rockets right? McHale got fired. Pat Bev (or was it Jason Terry) famously said “not the same team”.

    Literally a cone on defense, we need a rim protector to protect him and reed.

    I feel like BIG Stevo was the glue of this team and when he went down so did the season

    Guess the players have adopted the same attitude of the GM and coach. Maybe it’s just not our year :mad:

    I would too, I've never seen a coach so consistently pull out hot players as he does. It's honestly puzzling, if a guy starts going or starts to play well, out they go. I'm just confused at the strategy.

    I’m surprised the Hornets don’t have a bigger lead.

    we had a Alpha and lead dog who just needed vet help and someone like KD - but geeks cried about efficiency when our C has worse efficiency on easier shots but they think he’s Baby Jokic … and Amen can’t shoot outside 10ft …

    Hornets showed patience with LaMelo and look how it’s starting to pay off and take form

    Reed is third in plus/minus...Meaning theyve been doing better when he's on the floor.

    Okogie is -22
    ****y-Smith is -13
    Kd has 5 TO's leading to fast break points
    Sengun is 1-6, only has 5 rebounds and cant defend at the rim to save his life.

    But yeah, sure. The 2nd year barely played nba ball guy is the one murdering us.

    he needs a rim protector, but then that guy also needs to be able to shoot

    the dilemma of trying to build around Sengun

    His play has drastically gone worse since he became an all star last year. I thought it was strange how outspoken he was about being an all star and how badly he wants it cause guys usually try to downplay it and pretend they don't care. Now, I think that was his biggest motivation and he has nothing to play for now.

    It sure appears so. The quote was published on Twitter by Michael Shapiro, who covers the Rockets for the Houston Chronicle. If Shapiro is making it up, the Rockets should revoke his media access.

    KD our best and worst player. Alpi soft AF. Reed p***y. Amen needs to take charge. Ime had not a clue. Ron Nipple™ is better than our entire team, lol
