    Yep.

    I always thought this was a 2nd round at best team and said they only get to the 2nd depending on matchups. NOW, if they do get to the 2nd against Minny, maybe they could pull off another, but I don't think so.

    The young core still needs some seasoning and the team still has holes. Glaring hole at PG obviously and needs a consistent go-to scorer where either that guy steps up next year weather thats Green, Sengun, or whoever or they trade for that guy.

    lol, you guys would have gone into convulsions watching the 90s Rockets. It’s not supposed to be smooth or easy. Just enjoy that we’re actually playing games that matter again.

    Steve Kerr dare to play their 2nd round rookie Quinten Post who was great last game. Post was playing even more time than Jabari. Lol

    But Ime is scared to play our good role players like Holiday/Jeff/Cam/Tate.

    We know who is the better coach.

    Udoka needs to WAKE UP and get Cam into the rotation for the rest of the series.

    Şengün, Jalen, and Cam are our REAL scorers. Not negotiable.

    It’s insane that Cam hasn’t touched the floor for even a single minute against Golden State this series.

    CAM IS A DOG. He’s built for moments like this… strong, fearless, hungry.

    He could be our Jaylen Brown if we actually gave him a damn chance.

    WHY is Udoka being this stubborn?? Cam can get you buckets… literally what we’re missing right now.

    I’m so sick and tired of watching us waste our talent. I’m beyond frustrated with Udoka.

    Just fn win or just fn fukk off.

    Figure it out players

    Figure it out coaches

    It’s going to be a long offseason of wondering “what if I expanded the rotation, what If I exploited their weaknesses better, what if I called that timeout or challenge that 1 call”

    Players wondering “what if I made better decisions / passes / made my FTs or played better D”

    True - and 2nd seed is in the books. Definitely, they're the underdogs, but the team has progressed a lot in a few years. Will need some trades for next season. We need a shot creator.

    Eh, not really, there's like 4 games separating us from the 8th seed, which means we're the 2nd seed by some good fortune. We basically had better injury luck than other teams and our defense saw us through a lot of games we normally would have lost last season...

    The reality is, all these 7 teams are very interchangeable in the West, including Memphis but they lost a key starter and Ja was in and out of the lineup all year long.

    So while we are the 2nd seed I don't think anyone had us realistically winning a championship this year like a 2nd seed does.

    I will say though we are one of the few teams that OKC has had some issues with so there is that but its very unlikely we make it that far to play them.

    I also believe Whitmore could be key in winning this series. Cam has that IDGAF attitude that could be suitable for playoff games. Good long range shooter, and capable of beating his defender and driving into the paint. Only one way to find out.

    I wouldn't mind seeing Cam get some run either. We need a spark.

    When Alpi goes out to the perimeter to blitz the guard, if they manage to shoot, the long rebound goes to their guards, and the second triple usually goes in. I feel like this became a pattern. Jabari or Adams is important in such cases to secure the defensive rebound.

    If steph goes off, bums cant go off. If bums go off, steph cant go off.

    IF we do that. We win.

    Also, which version of Green shows up.

    If we think Cam is the answer for this series then we already lost.

    We're not containing FVV? That's the most important thing

    Whoever the Rockets' shooting coach is, he needs to train Steph a little.
