    2 players completely shrank into their shells this game:
    Jabroni with his brick masterclass, absolutely could see in his demeanor that he was shooting with 0 confidence, if you have no confident dont fukn shoot it.
    Amen with that wide open air ball 3, absolutely shrank like a timid mofo as well.

    fukn jokes. yeah Ime keep running 3 non shooter lineups at the end of 4th quarter, it's absolutely working right? dumbass coach doesn't learn.

    Reed bro, go to an organization that has intelligence being used because the Rockets don't display ANY. What a garbage dump.

    Possibly the worst game for Jabari in a while. Can't guard can't shoot

    reed airballing at the end is a sign of how much pressure the young guys get from ime.

    So a few possessions Udoka elected not to double Advija even though that has been pretty effective all game. Those couple of possessions he was fouled both times.

    Also, I love Steven Adams but seems like it's worthless to have him in there when he can't get the bunnies to go and he is back to being terrible from the line. It doesn't help that Jabari can't hit threes anymore.

    Unfortunately, for as talented as the team is, the shitty shooting is always going to be our biggest weakness. They really should think long and hard about going after some shooters and seeing if they can use Capelas, DFS, Adams, Taris salaries to get it done. Sadly this is not a championship contending team even with Sengun.

    Yet another candidate for the worst loss of the year. Hard to choose when there are so many options...

    This team is deeply flawed.

    I’m doing training in San Antonio for the next few months and I was considering driving to Houston to catch a game live (first time)

    After these two performances, I think I’ll wait.

    Reed Sheppard isn’t the reason the Rockets lost… he should have taken another 5-10 shots while Jabari watched from the bench.

    Jabari is the biggest winner. He will get more posts than anyone on social media from this game

    Another double digit lead lost. This team definitely has crunch time issues. Choke City, Jabrick City
