    So far he has been utterly useless, no effort on defense other than one possession per game. Even when he make good play he just stand there with no emotion (he would pave went wild last season). As Adam as starter we don’t have 6th man to spark our starters and Ime is playing him to get him going but I think today was clear sign he just don’t want to be here. Basically we’re playing without JG, Dillion, FVV, Cam, Tari and replace with KD and Okogi only. KD can only cover so much for what we lost and Tari mentally checking out is hurting us so much

    Absolutely idiotic from Ime to bench Okogie for Tari in the 4th.

    I can't wait for DFS to come back so Tari the clown's minutes are even further reduced.

    It's borderline deliberate how bad he's been to open this season. That is not the kind of player I want on the Rockets.

    I smelt KPJ's horrid effect on the team a mile away. I'm picking up a similar stench from Tari to open this season.

    We will be better once DFS can play. Him and Okogie gonna be the new terror twins.

    DFS is also a bigger forward he can back up Jabari when he is playing like a scrub like tonight.

    Rockets arent going to pay Tari and the 76rs aint paying Grimes.
    Not saying it could happen, but it should happen.

    Bring him home, Stone.

    I'm at this point willing to give Okogie all the money Tari was going to get. It's fine to not be happy, but checking out on your team mates is a no-no.

    Tari is blowing it and only further lowering his value and dollar amount on his next contract

    With their new Rookie going off, I don’t see why Sixers would want to keep him, I think we can get him by trading Clint, and 29 PHX and our 29 picks since Sixers gonna need young players down the road for post Embiid era

    it's pretty obvious he's going to ask out or we're going to trade him for a PG.

    I noticed his lack of passion tonight. He seems checked out.

    Didn't expect Tari to turn out like this but he's definitely done with the Rockets.

    Well, it was fun while it lasted.

    I totally agree. Okogie was really bothering Cunningham with his defense. Ime ****ed up.

    Id bench Adams and start Okogie. Team needs to start the games with a sense of urgency and Okogie is just the right dog to set a tone.

    Adams is doing great not sure why everyone is blaming him. He boxes out, grabs rebs screens for shooters.

    I was at the game tonight. Tari’s body language was terrible. Seemed like didn’t want to be there.

    Nobody is going to offer him north of $75 million if he doesn't step up.

    Pretty sure he is upset that he turned down the greatest contract he would’ve gotten. Got the vibe of Dennis Schroder all over again, I wouldn’t be surprised if he fire his agent before Dec.

    after turning down what he viewed as a low ball offer you would think he would ball out to try and get what he think he's worth next summer as a free agent. but if he keeps playing like **** he's going to sign for less than we offered.

    Dude doesn't have the IQ to realise this.

    Neither does his mom, who no doubt has influenced his decision.

    I think it's a little early to say what's going to happen with Tari based on just a couple of games, but I've been a little suspicious of him for awhile, and I've never thought of him as a high-IQ player, which I value pretty highly

    I think it is understandable to be emotionally affected after what went down this offseason. The question is whether he can get over that and be a professional. Even if he wants off the team, that's important for his future in the league.

    My hope is that he will get himself locked in again and push toward that next contract, wherever it may be. That's best for both him and for the team. We'll see.
