    Rockets front office already flirting with an idea moving Jalen to bench however they don’t even have a decent replacement to bench him. Cam is too young, Holiday is borderline garbage minute player, Amen and Tate can’t shoot.

    even the good day like today every good play was followed by bonehead play that gave back the score right away.

    Portland played out of their minds, gave an outlier performance. Wasted Landale’s finest effort, lol.

    Sengun missed one shot after scoring several points against Ayton and then we completely went away from using him.

    1. there was only one possible scenario that could save PTB: a triple.
    And Udoka took the entire defense to inside.
    End of story.

    Thompson should have got more run than Holiday i feel because he adds more options. Apart from Holiday's shooting, he doesn't pass or play make like Thompson can or grab rebounds.

    Jalen had one of the worst 29 point games I've ever seen. Inefficient, terrible on defense.

    Everybody on the entire team did a terrible job closing out. We let the Blazers get hot and they rode that to the victory.

    Related: For some reason Holiday got extended run and Amen only played 14 minutes even though he was the only dude playing solid perimeter defense tonight.

    We need shooting badly. We need to at least pick up a backup shooting guard. We keep getting cold from three while other teams destroy us.

    We need to make a trade ASAP. Preferably for a shooting guard and a backup center.

    Udoka read the game thread before doing his post game presser

    lol wtf is this? what does playing 3 midgets in crunch time and consistently giving the other team second chance points have anything to do with gm'ing?

    Houston has the best medical treatment all over the world but Rockets medical treatment sucks all the time
