    They have three players that are better than our entire roster.

    Jalen Green = can’t shoot
    Jabari Smith = can’t shoot
    Amen Thompson = can’t shoot
    Reed Sheppard = won’t shoot

    I swear, Ime's going to say something typical about liking the shots we were getting, but them not going down, not playing with the same energy/urgency that OKC had, not playing physical enough on defense etc etc

    And in this case, he'd actually be justified in saying those things.

    This team has so many high draft picks and no stars

    That has to be on coach. How the hell is this kid not having plays ran for him during garbage time. I didn't think he needed to go to the Gleague but maybe that's the best choice if he isn't going to shoot for whatever reason.

    It seems liike reed does not even have that hustle gene in him to make up for his size, quite dissapointing for this tenure in his career.

    It seemed like the Rockets were halfway competitive with the Thunder a year or two ago. Now they are completely outmatched. The Rockets will at some point have to trade for a real star.

    Why was Adams out there guarding Chet? Why was Brooks guarding SGA when it clearly wasn’t working? Why didn’t they move the ball but kept playing 1-1 with Jalen or FVV off Sengun screens? Lots of head scratchers

    Tip your hat. OKC is a #1 seed with all that talent and veteran defenders and getting to play ultra physical defense while getting touch calls on offense.

    OKC is elite, historic defensively right now and may win a title this year. They came off a loss and were focused.

    We're getting better but we will still have growth to be a title contender. I know folks will panic, but we'll be okay lol.

    suggesting a win on the road might have been a little aggressive

    Thunder broadcast was talking about the rockets hearing footsteps thus missing their shots.
    Not the case. They would get free and just brick their layups. I'm going to send them all videos of the Silas layup drills.
