    Agree. Our bench was worse than theirs and our starters were not significantly better than theirs.

    I still argue that if we had better shooters in Jabari and G bird, we could win this game easy. It's all about efficiency. Our backcourt has probably the lowest effi3ncy in the league.

    Sengun will have min 7, occasionally 10 assists when he has better shooters around him.

    I'm glad when i look at the NBA schedule now and see there's no Rockets game,

    then i flip forward a day and see there's no game the next day,

    it's like i won the lottery

    Rockets defense looked much worse when the 2nd unit was on.

    If the shooters hadn't missed easy shots, he would have recorded a TD.
    These guys are not robots. For a big to play almost 40 minutes after having played 26min on avg for half of a season should be very hard. Therefore, I'm not surprised he is slightly less efficient then his 36 min averages.

    Yeah that feels forever ago. Really not sure what happened, they were competing nightly and looked like a completely different team.

    It's like a switch was flipped. But it was flipped off instead of on

    This stretch has been the most depressing bit of Rockets basketball I've watched since the John Wall era. I still say its better than that because many games I didn't even tune in that season, and at least I'm still watching every game now because I'm invested in our young guys as opposed to Anthony Lamb and Justin Patton

    Can you watch the game and advise each time Williams scored on Sengun.

    I'd expect it to be most, if not all, by your comments.

    Thanks, eagerly await your investigative response to prove what you're saying.

    I'll repeat what I've previously said.

    Jalen Green has already more embarrassing no effort plays on defense than McGrady or Harden had in their entire Rocket careers.

    Just sitting here wondering when the mob squad for the previous Rockets is going to catch on to how pathetic Jalen's effort and body language is.

    Are you serious? You see plays like that from players every game in fast breaks.

    Sengun with the mature and humble answer while Green over here actin like he surprised they've lost 12 in a row. "We way better than that", nah you ain't.

    Are you like trolling now? Btw both Green and Alpi said the same exact thing. They play well in the first half and then don't maintain the same play throughout all 4 quarters. Stop this ****. But if you are joking then all good.

    We need to fire Silas, and find a real coach. Then in 2 months. We can say, this roster has a potential or not.

    Wait are you trolling? Because I just rewatched the video to see if maybe I was mistaken and nope. Sengun admits to being young and having bad habits while Green basically admits to thinking they are better than their record and losing streak shows. When I watch The Rockets I don't see a great team running into a bit of bad luck. I see a young immature team with bad habits. Don't get how those two answers are the same.

    Dude you are pathetic.

    Jalen Green literally said they don't play consistent and only play well for stretches rather than entire games.

    Damn you straight lying to yourself, Green is my fav player and even then I can see how he is not being a leader but Sengun is...

    You really picked the time when Green scored 41 5 7 and had the 2nd highest +/- of the team to take a dump on him?

    Yeah - because funnily enough scoring points has literally nothing to do with what I said.

    And you'd think having a game like that would put him in a good mood and cut out the things I said. Nope.
