    This has been one of the most annoying things to watch for me as Rockets' fan.

    I just wanted to say: THANK YOU.

    if there’s one thing we learned from the recent world cup team oosa performance, is that silas was misunderstood

    Jabari never boxed out his man last year, it was incredibly frustrating to watch. He's been more active this year, especially against the Kings.

    Refreshing to see game-to-game adjustments and improvements from the coaching staff. Wasn't a fan of the Udoka hire initially, due to the off-court concerns, but the man knows basketball. Looking like a top-tier coaching staff in the league.

    It makes me angry with all levels of decision making at the organization. If you plan to build a roster with bad rebounding skills, you would have trouble finding so many as we have.

    Its a matter of effort and accountability. So yeah! thank you!

    I don't think it's ever a bad time to work on the fundamentals. The best musicians in the world still practice their scales.

    Udoka has screened male-male films for select members of the team, and they have commenced their education in understanding the necessary aspects of BOXING OUT.

    Many of the best rebounders in league history have been 6’ 6- 6’9 ish. It’s about technique and effort mainly.

    I’m surprised teams aren’t stealing Kelvin Sampson’s drill where he covers the basket and makes guys fight for every rebound like a pack of dogs after red meat. :D If they master defense and rebounding they will be in every game.

    The many expressive emotional states of Ime Udoka over the years.

    I'm a fan of practicing fundamentals that lead to results and the stoicism of Udoka.

    Don't get to high or low just focused on the next play or game.

    He still looks the same, just put on more weight which is normal.
