    I'm watching Calvin explain it, you can see Jalen had space, he just didn't take the shot. When he didn't take the shot at that moment the double took it away.

    KYP. You know Landale is going to F it up, coach had him in for whatever reason, Jalen should have taken the shot.

    EG was actually a good player every other night. Landale can’t do anything. He can’t catch, he can’t shoot, he can’t rebound, he can’t defend. He makes bad decisions.

    The game was lost when the score was 99-90 and the ball was in Rockets hand. Offensive foul, conceding quick points, bizarre format, lateness for change,...

    Am I crazy to think that Jalen should've shot a pull up 3 there or was he completely covered?

    Jalen gonna get hate for passing to Jock, by looking at how Jock acted like he just picked up a bomb when he got the ball telling that he was not even part of the play.

    Landale and Tate should be off this team.

    We lost to vets and one young stud. Vets win games. Ime wants to win games. I want the young guys to play too but not at the sacrifice of winning. Not at this point in the rebuilding cycle. Ime will play them when they’re ready to contribute to winning basketball. Cam will get his shot when it’s time and if he doesn’t it will be because we’re winning. That’s how it goes when you have accountability from the top down.

    Ime is a great coach, but he has to realize Landale is at best a marginal D-Leaguer at this point. Also, Cam getting zero minutes makes no sense for a young team.

    I wouldn't have been mad if jalen launched it. rookie year jalen would have launched it. This man's confidence in the dirt he was probably just happy to be in there in the 4th.,

    And he's so damn foul prone. Seems like he fouls more times per minute than any player I can remember.

    And if Holiday misses, that’s the way it goes. We aren’t nearly as pissed off. He makes it? Okay!

    Boy do I miss Brooks and Jabari. What a blown game by our defense. Why on earth is Cam not getting minutes?????????????

    On the bright side Jalen had his second decent game in a row offensively, VanVleet and Sengun were in beast mode, and Eason hustled his butt off leading in rebounds, steals, and blocks.

    I want to see more Cam, and less Thompson and Holiday. Give Cam some minutes!!!!

    Jalen should’ve shot the ball no matter what. He had an opening after that screen and you got two defenders coming with a late contest, he had a chance to draw a foul. I don’t blame him for making the right play. Ime loss this game by playing Landale and playing Tate on Maxey knowing he can’t stop fouling.

    hopefully Green regains his confidence, very nice performance, sadly it wasn't the outcome we wanted.

    We really need to get rid of lockdale, man is a liability since he can't b the back up big man this team sorely needs

    I'm 1000% confused as to why Jock was in the game.

    We had no TOs so we needed a 3 or nothing.

    I don't know, the main man I blame for this loss was Ime.

    Tate might as well not even have been in the game and was 'on' Maxey all night long. Maxey blew past him nearly 100% of the time.

    Who decided that paying 3 or 4 times more to Landale than Bruno or F.Kaminsky was a good idea?Is he better than any of them?
