    The offense of this team relies too much on KD and then Sengun, if either have a bad game it looks terrible.

    It's never about getting anyone else going.

    I'm still not sure if he's just getting himself together or if his injury cooked him (at least for the rest of the season)

    But either way he's playing too badly to be getting more than spot minutes right now

    Man, the Rockets can play fantastic defense and make the dumbest fouls with half a second on the shot clock.

    Media never once has asked Udoka tough specific questions about the offense.

    Okogie is fine, DFS should literally not be playing.

    It’s really sad that there is basically zero hope that we can overcome a double digit deficit in the 4th.

    Can’t recall seeing a squad that so rarely goes on long runs with good defense.

    I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future, but I can confidently say right now that this team is a massive disappointment. Reed has been awful, and he’s someone who I enjoy rooting for.

    The least fun I’ve had rooting for a Rockets team since the W-O-W Rockets. At least there weren’t expectations before we traded for KD.

    I get that it might be good development for our young guys, but I have no clue what they’re developing into because I hardly see any improvement.

    He does have to be covered for on defense to some degree though, which is tough in its own way in today's game.

    The coaching staff needs to be prepared to find another job if they keep running that scrub out there. He sucks.

    Who knew Jalen Green was the real MVP of this team.

    Rockets’ tank was a failure. They never hit on a top guy.

    They also shot themselves in the foot in free agency by ignoring shot creation in favor of defense.

    Major changes needed.

    Well the 3 point ball is how you come back in games...

    We don't make enough and we don't take enough.

    Durant is not the problem with this team. It’s the lack of a point guard and offensive system. Plus, it doesn’t help when Thompson and Sengun are playing terribly.
