We are still very young

 

Lost so much respect for Ja Morant flopping and getting Free Throws. Shame on the Referees falling for it.

 

Wins a win.

 

You haven't watched him much. He always fishes for FTs and flops quite often.

 

Very true, I think minus some of our older non-rotation guys, we're a top 5 youngest team in the league even with Dillon and Fred!

I get caught up in the moment-to-moment sometimes but we are in a REALLY good spot. We have a great group of young fellas

 

Whereas our guys try to play through contact for the most part and end up on the short end of the refereeing stick more often than not. It's a shame that embellishing contact becomes almost necessary to get a good whistle (or maybe signing a big shoe deal, idk)

 

Nah Jaters are the idiots who want to trade Jalen.

There's nothing wrong with criticism and calling him out. But proposing to trade a guy whose potential is all star to superstar quality is just ridiculous

Especially since there isn't anyone who's available to fill that role with that upside

 

Its somewhere on Twitter but the Rockets have the second youngest team when you adjust for usage rate with only the Wizards being younger.

So ya we are literally the second youngest team when you account for the guys who actually take up offensive possessions.

 

Rudy Tomjanovich strategy. Rudy always fouled with a 3 point lead. Get the ball back.

Strategy has a stronger rate than letting them shoot the 3 crowd energy going crazy.

Grizzlies make the 3, goes to overtime. Rockets Sengun tired, Rockets would've lost.

Foul with the 3 point lead works.

 

I’m assuming you didn’t watch the game. Rockets should have easily won this game by 15+ with all the mistakes the Grizzlies made. But a win is a win.

 

No one ask you tomorrow how you won this game! It's Important to win this games somehow!

 

Great win. Definitely sloppy there with the missed free throws.

But man, there were sustained moments of fantastic defense AND fantastic offense against a good, well-coached memphis team.

Everybody kind of assumes Tate is a goner but he really is the perfect 10th man. He won’t play every night but you can count on him to make an impact. We’re going to need guys we can trust that won’t break the bank once our young guys start getting paid.

Cam was…. Not good. He has to play exclusively as a play finisher. Two dribbles, max.

 

When we get all players back we will have nice boring, bradycardia-inducing wins.

 

Great win but I missed the entire 2nd half :-/

If we hit our free throws then we win by double digits easily.

And Cam's ability to shoot shots is unparalleled!

 

Everyone assumes he's a goner because he gets no minutes if Tari and Bari are healthy.

 

Alperen Sengun

 

Cam Whitmore is not Toxic, just having a rough time. Cam will get over it, getting used to playing time.

Just waiting for Tari Eason's return here
