Last Play - Pick and Roll Jalen and Amen

Jalen Green gets the Ball, Amen Thompson sets the pick for Jalen Green open shot (if trapped go to Amen Thompson and he creates a shot). I want them both to create the Play.

 

fred was trash

 

It’s really upsetting that our highest paid player has so badly underperformed this year. Very disappointed with Fred. I feel like he got a 2-yr max to play one yr. I see Fred as a 6th man. I dont want to buy another ticket to this ride unless he’s coming off the bench at a significant team-friendly discount.

 

4 TOs. 3 live-ball TOs in the 4th - 2 by Jalen, 1 by FVV, all in the last 6 minutes of the game (Rockets were up by 8 with 6 minutes left). 1 of the TOs was Tari's goaltending.

The Rockets missed a few easy chances to close this out and the 3 live-ball TOs were bad (Jalen driving into a crowd and FVV trying to get a call). 1 missed FT from Jalen, Amen missing the alley-oop, and Eason being passive instead of attacking when they had an advantage (I think it was a 3-on-2).

I think the Rockets lost this game more than the Grizzlies won it.

 

NO doubt, everyone tried to do too much instead of playing as a team -not having a SENGUN option really killed this game.

Completely forgot Dillon Brooks Foul that led to 2 points by JJJ.

Fred VanVleet with a Fadeaway 3 pointer. When you should get closer and shoot a midrange shot at least down by 1. No common sense by Fred VanVleet.

 

c*m or sweat. We will never know.

 

getting mad just reading this lol. Horrible last few minutes. I swear we don’t know what to do when it’s 2 min left.

Let’s just jack up more threes while we are up.

 

You should see their after practice All 3 Point Shots by the Guards and Forwards. Zero practice on Midrange. Midrange Shots and Floaters are Huge in the Playoffs in tight situation, late in the 4th Quarter.

 

The reason this stings more than it should is because this is the type of ending you can expect in the playoffs and Ime made some question decisions, both FVV and Green were unreliable and most importantly: our offense turned to **** the last 6 minutes, which has happened way too often. We need to see some positive results before the playoffs or else I expect a flame out of the 1st round acoming.

 

Yeah Kennard not only shoots the lights out but like great shooters do seems to find himself wide open a lot.
I think we need health more than a trade.

And it would be real nice if Reed could be anything remotely resembling a shooter.

 

Just the early Rockets Praise . . .

I AM HYPPEEED!!!

 

Ime seriously needs to lay off playing Tate in the last minute of close games. It's burned us every time.

 

Trying my best not to read any comments or see the score but what the actual ****…why can’t I find the replay of the game on nba league pass? It was a national tv game so it should be available within 3 hours of ending. Nothing on NBa LP or max… I’m pissed


Did anyone post a recording?
