    From the organisation that extended Jalen when he did literally NOTHING to warrant it.

    Nothing surprises me.

    The only thing actually that surprises me is when they make smart decisions, it goes against Fertitta's ethos as an owner of just doing stupid things.

    I hate this organisation under that f'cking families ownership.

    Sengun is not an All Star. In reality he is a liability to this team, but everybody is afraid to say that.

    The NBA realized that individual games during the regular season don't matter anymore. Just rig individual games by offering teams wins in future games. Have all of the top 5 teams in each division lumped up with similar records, make the bottom 5 teams lumped up with similar records. Make the end of the season pretend to be exciting for the bottom four teams trying to make the cut. Begin the playoffs and rig those too. Make the games go seven game to max profits. Rinse repeat. It's not fun to watch anymore. You feel manipulated and that feels gross.

    Choke team, prepare for early exit in playoffs. This team is consistent with one thing,only losing big leads. Coach is a dumbass, Allstars are turnover machines,

    Coach should have used his challenge there. The assholes were snatching momentum and he just watched it happen. Call a ****en timeout and ****ing adjust

    They aren't missing the playoffs and will likely be 3rd or 4th seed. This was a 50/50 game going in, so it's not that big of a deal standings wise losing it.

    but I hate to say it because it will sound like an excuse but man if FVV were here we're not blowing all of these leads.

    People can say whatever they want about the dude but he doesn't turn the ball over.

    The Rockets need to just trust their guards in closing the game, that's it. KD can still get those shots but having their entire defense just focusing on KD and knowing he's going to shoot is entirely too predictable.

    As much as the Rockets have been falling apart in the 4th quarter to give up big leads...tells me this team is not disciplined enough. No adjustments, gameplay, and turnovers. This falls on coaching.

    I hated losing this game. There was no reason to lose this one. Why the hell did you stop doubling Brunson especially in the ****ing clutch. I'm so freaking mad that we were allowing the switch on Jabari with no ****ing help. Udoka, you had the ****ing game plan, just stick with it, it was working!! Brunson getting some points mostly off free throws in the 3rd was a mirage you fool, just needed to keep the double.

    Never paid attention to Jalen Brunson’s play… Dude gotta be top 3 flopper in the NBA .. The calls he gets are infuriating inside…

    Anyone think about the scenario of going against the Suns in the first round and losing?
