I bet they were arguing over FSU, Texas, and Bama.

Good crowd reaction after the T

This incident has automatically moved Udoka to #2 on my all-time Rockets coaches behind Rudy T

Is it just me or does feel like the 10th time the Rockets have played the Nuggets this year?

You mean there's other teams in the nba besides the rockets, nuggets, and lakers?

How many times do we play the nuggets this year? Seriously

4th time in 19 games playing the Nuggets but 3-1 against them and got the first road win. That is the last game against them this year.

That big gap between whenever the Texans end and when the Astros go to spring training is when they will get noticed. Finishing at or abo ve .500 after the way things have been lately is a pretty exciting prospect.

Is it: Tari & Bari

Is not it: Jalen

Seen enough from Tari in the last few games to put him in the starting lineup. His rebounding, effort and defensive intensity are game changing. I actually think he is better than Jalen Green in every possible way. It would definitely weaken our bench, but Tari deserves at least 32 minutes a game. I also think Jalen needs to be cut down to about 18 minutes a game. His inconsistency and inefficient offense have cost us more than his hot streaks have helped us.

I'm super low on Jalen right now and have started making delusional trades on the trade machine. You think we could get OG for Jalen, some nets picks and oladipos dead body?

Another ugly win last night, but a win. Last year's team would have lost by 20 in a game like that.

I am also down on Jalen but think we need to give him some more time to figure out how to operate in an offense that actually runs offense. Silas may have broken him but I feel like there is still hope.

I hope I'm wrong, but feel like Jalen is a lost cause and we need to trade him while we can. It's not just that he's bad on offense now that has structure…he can't defend at all. He makes Harden look like a great defender. I hope Amen can get healthy and prove he can defend and run point efficiently. Then you can start FVV and Amen in the backcourt. In defense, FVV guards the point and Amen the 2. Then on offense, Amen runs the point and FVV the 2. I think, at this point, the best we can hope for Jalen is to become a Lou Williams type player off the bench.

How much more time is needed? Everyone else seems to be adapting just fine.

I don't know. Maybe it is just wishful thinking, hoping we didn't whiff on the 2nd pick.

At least they knocked it out of the park with the 16th pick.

My biggest problem with Jalen is that he seems to lack the proper mentality to become a high impact and efficient player.

This is going to sound ridiculous, but it bothers me that he is constantly smiling. Miss a dunk...smiling. Dribble it off his foot....smirking. Throw it out of bounds...."my bad" as he chuckles. If he misses a defensive assignment...raises his hand and laughs.

I just don't think he takes his mistakes seriously enough to improve. Udoka needs to stick his ass on the bench so he can reflect on how he fumbled his golden ticket.

Fun fact: The last time the Spurs won a game, Wemby was only 14 years old.

Of course it's James blowing it. This is only a few months before he got McHale fired.

Well, this one is a disaster so far.

Jalen Green is awful.

24pts in the second half from Brooks. Nasty.
