    The players keep looking at the bench and they seem a step slow and a little timid. Maybe, Ime might loosen his coaching a little bit and allow his guys to just play and implement their game plan. Just let FVV run the show with as little distraction from the coaches as possible. Let's see if they will loosen up, play decisively, and take it to the Magic. Let them play, Ime, and see what happens, then go back to teaching and coaching after the game. I also think the coach, if possible, might want to shorten his rotation and give more time for his starters to get in rhythm and get used to each other. Just my thoughts.

    Pretty sure the Rockets FO knows Green is not that good, could be the reason why they put up with KPJ for so long they wanted him to be the start SG over Green until KPJ got arrested, saw in the KPJ thread that rocketswatch wanted to have a opening competition with JG and KPJ for the starting SG

    Landale was a turnstile on d and couldnt rebound to save his life when I was watching. And Brooks kept going for shot fakes which allowed them to build a lead.

    Lol that was a lot of sarcasm my friend, I think Jalen is always going to leave us a little disappointed and if we had Harden at least we would be interesting.

    We have not seen Harden play in like 5 or 6 monthsl.... I mean he can still get 20 and 9 easily but I mean 6 months.

    I did not like his inconsistent play against Boston.

    Because Pistons have a better PG then us, a decent SG and Ausar can play SF and don't have to worry about to much.

    Amen will be fine…he is trying to do to much. I’m worried about Jabari he look scared, lost and passive. Jalen will turn up and score….we just need to play through Sengun and play more physical inside

    I'm guessing he's not trying to run the offense?
