    I think now people understand why FVV plays so many minutes. He would have slowed things down once we had that lead knowing that running clock is more important than taking shots.

    It all started when dumbass Jalen shot the three ball and we were up by 4 points with 30 seconds left and they scored on the other end, that’s when I knew it was over

    If only we had the most clutch player in the 4th quarter who also happens to play the point guard on this team.. hmmm

    nah, let's just let the Spurs have him for free, surely wouldn't come to bite us later down the road!

    Let's get the brutal schedule back. Rockets lose to themselves anyway, opponent does not matter.

    Without FVV, this is a borderline play in team. Some young and promising players but all with serious flaws, no foundational piece.

    That's something you talk about during the timeout. "Hey if nothing is open we got 1 TO left". Ime should have called it but Amen could have too. Boneheaded

    Now people miss Fred. LOL. Amen is way too green as a point guard. He turns the ball over way too much. I love his defense but I don't want him as PG.

    Can we please put an end to all these stupid and mind boggling numb posts/threads about getting rid of Fred Van Vleet? We would have never lost these last 2 games if he had played. The Rockets could have used his calming influence and high bball IQ.

    This is why no one has respect for this team come playoff time. We are first round fodders because we can't execute down the stretch. Doesn't matter if we have a 10+ points lead in the fourth because we probably blown the most 10+ points lead in the NBA

    This team needs another veteran ball handler. It’s like watching the Keystone Cops when it’s a tight game in the closing seconds.

    After causing his team to lose the game, Ime blames the players and the basketball gods rather than anything he did.

    Now you know why coaches always call a timeout for a simple last-sec inbound pass.
