    There's a reason why the Rockets over/under win total is set at 31.5 and it's not because it's the floor.

    Learning to be a shooter is different than being a tight ball handler. Like I don't even know why we have to force that for Jabari? He isn't that type of player. He simply isn't.

    He's a mid/high post player and a catch and shoot guy.

    His post game and the around is pretty. That's where he can be a star offensive player.

    Dear God, please just put Amen and Whitmore in. I’ll enjoy the loss more

    Wall/Oladipo/Wood > FVV/Reggie/Brooks

    Wth did they do in San Antonio? Drink River Walk water? They're missing free throws, bad on defense, and look drunk.

    And most people say smash the over because they expect growth from Green, Sengun, and Smith

    In a real game, replacing Green with Bullock in a starting line up just kills your offense. You are missing the elite dribble penetration. Hence why Amen needs to start if this was a real game.

    It's like everything he does is in slowmo. He dribbles slow, he walks slow, he passes slow. It's a turnover risk every time he puts the ball on the floor.

    If Rockets lose tonight do we get eliminated from Pre-Season championship contention?

    And most people actually haven't which is why it's still 31.5

    32 wins is tangible progress - regardless of your inflated expectations. The league is more skilled than ever.
