    This is why I don’t think you should let young teams rest.

    Ultimately still a mostly meaningless game for us (playoff matchups, whatever) and the team is playing like it. Denver, on the other hand, is desperate.

    Rockets T-shirt toss segment is normally a quarter 3, quarter 4 segment. I wonder if they'd do two of these. Last game of season, leftover invnetory must go.

    I definitely see that too.

    I get why we rested our guys but I think staying in rhythm is more valuable than the time off. This team was really hitting their stride. Even that Lakers loss was a really well played game on our part.

    Rockets losing by 30 would be good medicine.

    Denver's vets getting whatever they want. Very focused for a team that fired their coach.

    I agree, I think that was a mis-step for a team that's predicated around intensity.

    Guys, before the moaning and groaning gets out of hand, consider:

    The Rockets starters haven’t played in a week, so the rust is expected
    The Rockets aren’t playing for anything while their opponent has a lot to lose/gain

    The Nuggets are playing with desperate energy, so far. It’s been a while since they’ve been so locked in.

    My main concern right now is Jalen. He looks terrible.
