Pray. I will not listen, but I will laugh at you
Damn shame they don’t have a future HOF superstar considered one of the best players in NBA history to guide them in how to play winning basketball……
No leadership ability at all.

KD was hooping like crazy after all that Twitter nonsense (stuff I can’t even say was legit or not). Reed and Jabari did their thing as well. Tari has to play better for them to consistently win (and if he wants an extension here). Don’t like them missing that many threes though my goodness. 9-32 is a disgusting outing from the perimeter.

I just don’t get Ime’s reluctance to have Reed on the court when he’s supposed to. His playmaking and IQ overrides how ever bad you think his defense is. The FT misses are trash though. They’re free, how does a professional NBA team miss that many?? And Sengun’s TOs are maddening. They happen at the worst possible times, and often he’s not going up strong enough at the rim. He’s getting swatted like a p*ssy.
Rockets can win or lose any game, I just don’t see how the FO can watch how well the team can play in any given moment and not sign some sort of PG or scoring guard to at least help until the end of the season.
They’re asking Sengun to create way too much and that’s just not gonna cut it.
They’re barely cracking 100 points a night and KD is playing like a second team All nba guy
And at some point they gotta pull the plug on DFS. Okogie has been better this season

Time to go!!
We have low iq players. Most of the turnovers were jsut of the low iq unforced type inthe 4th. This team just take possessions for granted in the 4th.
Barkley and the crew about to say what every analysis who mentions Justin’s says, they need a real pg. everybody sees this but Ime and stone

We got World Champion Joe Mazzulla soon to be coach of the year. We good, you can keep Udoka freaky ass.

Another clutch loss
The gamble was that Sengun and Amen were the next Jokic and Kawhi. Instead they’re closer to Jonas Valenciunas and Andre Roberson.
^Nasty part is I’m only being partially hyperbolic with both statements.
Ultimately we got rid of fat Harden for a haul of capital to make decisions with… and proceeded to go 0 for 7.
Green

Bari
Amen
Sengun
Sheppard
No Cade or Shai in that group. Not even an AJ Mitchell or VJ Edgecomb

It’s a solid group of players but the fit is tough since the best of them can’t shoot. Sengun/sheppard is food defensively and Sengun/Amen is easy to guard offensively.
IMO if they were going to trade for someone like KD they should have stuck with Green, KD is too old to get downhill like he used to and Green could have kept that element in the offense while benefiting from the space KD provides.
They’ll probably throw their hats in the Giannis ring but I think a more traditional starting caliber big will make things make more sense on both ends.

Good rebound game after that disastrous Knicks game. Ime shouldn’t have Reed seeing a ton of PT only against the bad teams. You need an actual PG in that spot and you need to get him properly acclimated while FVV is out. Bari has the flame thrower tonight an that was good to see. The way the schedule looks for the next few games, they need to start stacking consistent wins and put more distance in the standings.
