    When was the last time that Houston Rockets basketball was an enjoyable experience?

    And what eastern conference team should I bandwagon for the playoffs instead of watching this ****?

    I agree with everything you've said. I'm still not sure about how we get him more looks. I like PnR but he's a pick and pop player for now until he figures out how to fly to the rim and finish. Otherwise he's not dangerous from the defender's point of view. Right now he's just going to pick and pop for the jumper. Why can't he finish at the rim on a PnR? I have no clue but they aren't running him on that.

    I do agree that more plays should be run his way, but who is going to start the play? We have Sengun, KD, Reed and Amen running the point. Sengun can't find guys while he's deep because he can't shoot the three well enough to press the defense. KD turns the ball over at the top of the key. Reed can't seem to get the ball into striking distance before pressure arrives (striking distance being the three point line), and Amen can't seem to set anyone up.

    I'm not sure what to do about the wasted talent of Jabari, but there is a way. Thinking there isn't a way is a proper loser mentality. We have got to come up with something, we've gotta figure out how to get shots for all of our guys. FVV would fix a lot of problems.

    This game will be the beginning of the slide. Be lucky to hit 50 wins this year.

    Back 2 back, people really downplay how much this can affect a play, b2b then they traveled to Denver lol...

    It's a hard coded fact that players shoot worse on average on a b2b.

    Hilariously bad shooting = no chance. I know the term “schedule loss” is used to excuse a whole bunch of dumbassery at times, but they do have a bit of an excuse for all the short shots this game.

    On to the next, I guess

    Reed is a -17 jeez and he still can’t shoot right now. I thought he had turned it around but back to back 7 pt games?

    FTs differential

    6 vs. 17

    all the soft calls the refs were letting it go in the 1st half have gone favorable to the nuggets.

    Look on the bright side: If we shoot the next 22 at a higher percentage, we might get to 7 for 44.

    Sorry, too soon?
