    You are right about the lack of emotion, that's a good point.

    He's usually a pretty emotional player, sometimes even too much so. Usually the one barking from the bench at other teams and such.

    We don’t know that and that’s a big assumption. To me Amen doesn’t look right either. No one was playing hard on defense except Jabari and Okogie. The whole team just lacks energy. Not sure what’s going on.

    I'm not ready to give up on Tari yet, but I am ready to admit it's possible he has checked out on the Rockets.

    This only makes sense if he wants a trade. There hasn’t been any reporting on tensions. He still needs to perform for his next contract. If i were Fertita and Stone I would insert him in the starting lineup and get more value out of him while making him feel valued. This is what Indiana did with Mathurin. If u aint paying the guy then make him feel valued and wanted.

    All he is doing is sabotaging himself by playing poorly. I would expect him to get it together soon

    Dude gone get benched and end up like dmo. Because teams will lowball him this offseason and the rockets will match it to be petty. If he doesn’t report for the physical on that low offer sheet, his nba career will essentially be over. His best bet is to request a trade to a team that’ll pay him but there aren’t any that’s willing to pay him over 20 mil

    Yea whoever his agent is, he's getting some real bad advice. With his injury history already and now with him potentially not being a good professional, he's just creating additional unnecessary red flags that will crater his value. For everyone involved including himself, he needs to grow the **** up and let bygones be bygones

    Wonder if he is playing hurt, or just rusty. He has every incentive to give 100% effort this season. He is a hard worker, can not imagine him just checking out on a contract year.
