    Probably has a bounce back game tomorrow but Hawks outscore him.

    Yeah culture-wise he is great.

    But he is continually making the same kind of mistakes on that bench which is causing concern for me.

    I'll be keen to see him operate once Green is traded.

    I would be less concerned about overall wins and just play Amen and Cam......let the chips fall where they may.

    I could not care a bit about Jalen Green and his stat stuffing at this point.

    Rest Alpe too if they have to.

    I will repeat this again: if Jalen didn’t have that hot stretch of games, he might be gone already

    Which if true (and let's be honest, there's a good chance it is) speaks volumes to how pathetic this front office is.

    Explains exactly why they were duped by a highlight video on youtube into drafting Jalen with the #2 pick.

    Rockets fans and no doubt head office at this juncture are lamenting the fact the Thunder picked Chet instead of Jabari at #2.

    There is not a single fanbase or organisation in the league lamenting the fact the Rockets picked Jalen before they had a chance to.

    It’s such hindsight and I know they tried to trade up for cade a couple of years ago but I wish they tried harder to get paolo or chet or did some better scouting on Barnes and Mobley

    Mobley unfortunately was never an option thanks to KPJ..... which again leads us back to how pathetic this front office is, for a whole other reason.

    This might have been Jalen's worse game as a Rocket. It was brutal to watch him on both sides of the ball. Imagine if we had drafted Scottie Barnes.

    It was between Jalen and Mobley, Barnes was never in the equation.

    Time to get some new players. If only Stone had done that before the deadline.

    Jalen ain’t it and will never be it. Don’t understand how anyone could have ever thought different.

    It's honestly a pretty efficient way to weed out moronic posts from your feed.

    If anyone says Jalen is a good defender / a positive player out there on the court - you know they don't understand what they're watching and no need to consider anything they post about basketball.

    It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad and pathetic how their own Kobe-like god embarrasses them time and time again.

    I know he wasn't a realistic option. I was just saying imagine if we had drafted him, hindsight always 20/20.

    Rockets should have the following team:

    PG - Amen Thompson
    SG - Cam Whitmore
    SF - Scottie Barnes / Tari Eason
    PF - Alperen Sengun
    ..C - Jalen Duren

    Now that's a team I can cheer for. That's a big Mu'Fukin team!

    People forget about how little experience he actually has with all the "ime we trust " stuff

    He took over an elite team that had a slightly down season the year before - made 1 key adjustment in mid season in Robert Williams - then he got hurt and it was grind it out with superior talent till he was suspended/fired.

    He never had to deal with a losing team or tank heavy youngsters and now he does and the whole quiet angry storm thing that the ladies like doesn't really work with these guys . Maybe he'll come up with a new routine, he's still pretty early in his HC career

    Or maybe coaching doesn't matter that much it's just "get better guys and you can win double digit road games"
