    What a fantastic coach.

    Rafael Stone and crew murdered the off-season.

    Several players excitedly signed up for the new work from home program the Rockets offered after the game. But it looks suspicious.

    Firstly, OP, Jalen Green ISN'T BENCHED!!! Someone is just getting the minutes instead of him.

    Even I on a couple of occasions was frustrated with Sengun tonight.

    Not troubled by Udoka's decision whatsoever.

    I was half expecting it with how the game was going.

    Boy oh boy how many times can Green be benched? I cannot fathom how anyone can watch his game and at the conclusion think, yeah that guy is a damn good basketball player.

    The euro-slurp in this thread is hilarious.
    How we got here from Udoka's post-game interview is beyond me.

    Did what any good coach would do. Sengun and Green were abysmal. Jabari was good on the offensive side but got torched on d. Tari has stepped it up. Two games in a row we win because of him

    Take the win

    When Ime said he'd never missed the playoffs and didn't intend to start now, I didn't believe him, but by god, he meant it. Currently sitting half a game out of 6th seed. (Side note: The now donkeyless Worriers are outside the play-in picture.)

    Love finally having a great coach again. I haven't liked our coaching this much since Adelman, and maybe not even then.

    Euros get a couple of MVPs and suddenly think the last 75 years of basketball never existed!! Its hilarious. When was the last time anyone else won the Gold in the Olympics?? 20 years ago? And here they claim they have the best ball and coaches in the world? FOH.

    I counted 7 1/2. I think number 8 got truncated. I wonder how Vegas would score an unfinished attempt. :)

    On a per/minute basis, 7 in this interview might be average. Since this was shorter than normal, I’d expect Vegas to have a lower Over/Under.

    What's wrong with Sengun having fans? I'm assuming "LOF" means Lin but people have pride in their players. At least they're rooting for the Rockets instead of bashing Jalen like you do

    I don't think anyone is crying about Sengun. He had a bad game. It happens. There is some concern about Jalen and it's warranted. Now I'm not on the "trade him or bench him" bandwagon like some others. And I sure as hell don't think Cam is ready to step in and replace him right now. But if he continues to struggle like this, the Rockets will need to seriously consider moving on from him after this season vs giving him a long-term extension paying him 30 mil a year.
