    On the bright side, at least our pick is top 4 protected.

    I mean if we end up being a bottom 3 team and lose that pick to OKC, then the league really does hate Houston.

    Welp, at least Jabari was better and Sengun didn't turn the ball over.

    Baby steps, I guess.

    the offense is just so bad…no shooters, no spacing

    FVV 42 mil to score 8 points…his agent played Stone like a damn violin

    TC was infested with Warriors fans as per usual, I was surrounded…it was basically a Warriors home game last 4 minutes of the 4th

    Kevon Looney, like Steph Curry, been punking Rockets centers for a decade now.

    Remember when he punked Capela?

    Three point issue will haunt us for a long long time
    I remember last game that we lead Spurs by 10 twice and everytime they can make some 3s that bring them back
    Maybe this season will have a lot game like this we can fill in the hole,but we cant win cos we shoot bad
    if you can not hit three point,everything will be big problem right now in the NBA

    Conclusion

    For GSW it is just another game.......

    For the Rockets it was to save face in a home opener, not do or die but close to it.

    Folks detest harden but imagine preferring signing fvv to 40 mil just for him to score 8 pts in a game.

    Everyone played pretty well except for FVV, who made some pretty questionable decisions and looked outmatched from the jump...I expect he’ll have a bounce back game. Also Reggie Bullock, who was an incredible -15 in six minutes. Isn’t he here to be a shooter?

    Jalen’s shooting numbers were pretty pedestrian but he played well aside from some drives where he didn’t give himself any options. His playmaking looks much improved and he’s definitely got great chemistry with Alpi, who is probably our best young player right now and it is a joy watching him punish everyone in the post. Looney was fouling the **** out of him all night.

    Jabari shook off a bad second quarter to have a really solid game. Just needs to get a little stronger. Good to see him keep his head up after last game.

    Amen might be a special special player for us one day.

    And we already look way better than last year, even if the record doesn’t show it

    Cam Whitmore, Williams should be playing off the bench over Jeff Green, JaeSean Tate. Rockets need 3 Point Shooting.

    Jaesean Tate was -24 that is Crazy Bad

    Had $60 mil in cap and a #4 pick, and didn't get atleast one shooter for the worst shooting team in the NBA...

    This team has absolutely a competent defense now. Like it's at least middle of the pack. With new players and coaches with a whole new system offense takes more time to build chemistry but the baseline effort is that of a professional NBA team now.

    I would have told you that FVV is going to be tired.........he has to shoulder too much and he is not a star or superstar in this league no matter how much he makes.

    .
    Honestly from watching the game it's hard to see how Tate had so much bad +/-. he was arguably the best defender on the team tonight.
