    Watched Cleveland last night and Mobley was very aggressive on offense and really looks super polished. It looks like his reputation for being not interested in basketball was wrong. He is going to be great. That being said, I don’t care. No crying over spilt milk for me. Jalen Green is a Rocket and I hope he turns into an all-star for us. The constant bickering about Mobley vs Green is really getting old.

    Lesson learned.

    You should never listen to those people who misled you again.

    They were batshet wrong.

    Just because someone is reserved or calm does NOT make them less passionate or committed.

    If you have vets you can't just not play them either because you want to get good value back in a trade down the road. Nobody would want EG or Wood if they couldn't get minutes on the rockets.

    The one exception being Wall because he would both hurt the chances of getting a top pick, take minutes from our best young prospects, and playing doesn't really do anything for his value because of his bloated contract.

    I want the young guys to play as well but we need to move the vets out.

    Starting 2 bigs was never the problem.

    It was starting the WRONG 2 bigs.

    And it took much too long to figure this out. To the point that rumors of a HC firing was required to ensure changes were finally made.

    COACHING MATTERS.
