    Rockets are not the better team, if they win, then just by pure fight.

    He’s going a million miles an hour. Just needs to breathe and play.

    Nothing about Amen Thompson in preseason should have lead anyone to expect anything different than this.

    Talented player - clearly has a huge adjustment period to get used to the NBA

    No time to pacify rookies. Bench Amen and give his minutes to Cam. He will make mistakes, but he will play harder

    I love to see Amen getting minutes but this isn’t winning basketball

    Wagner is getting a nice world cup bump from the whistly whistlers.

    Where is Dillon's love?/

    Green has to lead this lineup or we're toast tonight.

    Honestly Amen should sit the rest of this one. Try whitmore, there‘s no way he does worse than Amen at this point

    I wonder if Stone put in one of his PT mandates for Amen like he did for KPJ...

    Maybe Rockets are playing down to their competition?

    Besides Sengun none of the young guys we drafted have done much of anything.

    Im most disappointed in Jalen. He’s playing like a nervous rookie and this is year three.

    If Jalen or Jabari were playing better and looking like they had progressed as players Rockets would be up.

    Neither one looks even close to Wagner.
