    Thunder got hot... Rockets went cold.

    Throw in turnovers and it sounds like a 20-point second half discrepancy.

    And that's exactly what happened.

    I think Sengun, Amen, and Bari have star potential.

    Sengun not sure what happened to him, he's falling off hard as the season goes on. Might be a mental or fatigue thing who knows.

    Amen's defense is already nearing elite, he just comes in and makes good things happen. How he only has 20 minutes tonight after he helped carry us beat the Suns I'll never know.

    Jabari would put up 20 and 10 if the Rockets simply gave him the shots to do so.

    I'll throw in Cam, Cam has some good potential too.

    They got hot because our starters played like shiit and our coach had no adjustments at all? We lost 17 pts lead without any rotation changes.

    Unlike Stone, Presti actually put pieces around their star player, SGA, who fit him perfectly.

    Defenders that can hit 3s and a center who can block shots in the paint.

    Meanwhile, IDK what the **** Stone is building over here. Just a jumbled mess of nonsense signing useless players that take up roster spots like Landale and Boban. Stone seems to love inefficient shooters, like the polar opposite of the Morey era.

    How good would this team be already if we had our Shai and our young guys were growing around him.

    Losing to Spurs on Tuesday with Wemby having a 10 BLK TD would be the cherry on top.

    We are lucky if we get 30 wins this season.

    NO IMPROVEMENT

    I dunno. Nothing else does it. I've got everything, but only League Pass does this for me. It's garbage for some reason. At least I get to sorta see the games though...

    You don’t know when those picks would be. It’s called getting assets for a player that’s now out of the rotation moron.

    Rockets weren't going to win tonight because OKC was just too good, but the complete collapse on both ends of the court was disgusting.

    Minor improvement but I think the stretch around January, early February was tough.....

    They just have to win out against the Wizards, Spurs and Jazz.

    That lineup to start the 4th killed us because Chet got comfortable. I guess we don’t have many more options, but that sucked balls.

    One positive is that for as well as Chet played, Jabari proved that he deserved to be drafted right after. Problem is, with our two best passers turning it over constantly, Jalen not providing any spacing, and DB playing one of the most selfish games I’ve seen all season…a loss was written in the cards.

    I hope next game will be better
