    Absolutely zero excuse to be losing to the team Portland is stumbling out there tonight…. Give UH Walker and Sasser to their current team and they beat this Blazers team by 5.

    The effort isn’t acceptable. Udoka either is soft or Stone isn’t letting him make starting line up changes… play Thompson and Whitmore 20 minutes in the second half.

    Udoka has to know who should play more minutes.

    The problem is ENERGY (again) and DEFENSE (again)...not sure about 20 mins. for those 2.

    Imagine how much better this team would be if they had Simons at the SG instead of Jalen.

    Speaks volumes that Brooks is seen as a lockdown defender... but can't even be trusted to guard their best player.

    Such a stupid sport when you think about it. Barcelona's B or C team would have no chance against Atletico Madrid or even Sevilla but in NBA a team filled with literally bums can beat you because they are 'feeling good'

    Sengun or coaches have to decide to stay at the perimeter with Reath or have someone else stay with him at the 3 line but you can't play in between .

    NM if they're hitting those 3s smh

    Thompson always plays hard - but my point was if they are going to lose to the Blazers GLeague, at least gets the rookies run.

    I can stand loses and missed shots - but the effort hasn’t been good enough or consistent enough for the last two dozen games.

    that dillon brooks contract didn't even last an entire season before being declared a bottom 3 contract. 3 more seasons...

    Brooks has been seeming like a non factor way more times than not for a couple of months now

    Amen plays 19 minutes on average while Cam with 17 minutes.

    Udoka should play them more!

    I think you are underestimating NBA talent, I think there are lot more hidden gems than people realize.....

    In soccer you need to undergo so many youth levels to play for the A team..........there is definitely more obstacles in soccer.....despite fielding much more players on much bigger rosters.

    And the Rockets are definitely not Atletico Madrid level. More like Atletic Bilbao.
