    Such overreaction.

    Smith has been playing very well this season, he had a bad game. Green has been quite poor with frequent benching.

    Rockets have a lot of issues they need to get fixed, but first they have to address the weakest link.

    Jalen only played 20 minutes tonight but that was 20 minutes too many.

    Ive been largely advocating a move out of the starting lineup, but at this point he really doesnt even need to be in the rotation.

    Just get rid of him.

    I hope that lady ref never gets laid again. She doesn't deserve nice things

    He's just running sideline corner to sideline corner and doing a tiger woods fist.

    We were 5-24 from behind the arc. Only if we had a sg who could shoot.

    As one posted recently "Jabari is the luckiest guy, Jalen is so bad, no one realise how much Bari sucks".

    He costed us the game when tied 117-117. Missed another 3s (0-4), only 6 rebs and 10 points in 34 minutes.

    Jalen is bad, Jabari is not better.

    Start Tari now at 4 and move Jabari to 3 when needed.

    Jalen is barely even playing in the second half anymore, those early season 3rd quarter minutes as a lead guard are gone.

    Ime’s got to be very very dissatisfied with Jalen’s play right now, or he’d be seeing the floor more.

    It sucks because there are moments where I’m like “Jalen would be really useful here” but then I remember he’s not playing anything like what we need. I don’t really like Holiday’s game, but I don’t think Jalen is providing more, either.

    Luckily the play of Alpi, Tari, and Bari are bringing me joy but one of our top picks and supposed foundational pieces playing like this always puts a damper on my mood somewhat.

    Pacers came out with the perfect game plan on choking Rockets offense. That is all there is to say about tonights game. On to the next.

    Refs swallowed the whistle and made up for the calls on Pacers behalf. Respect the home court refs. We need some home cooking. we good again!

    The only reason JG is starting is because he's a second pick that we've invested too much in. We have to see it through in regards to development. However, the writing is on the wall. So very clearly.
