    Shepherd is hot. Udoka takes him out. Holiday is cold, he gets Shepherd's minutes. Makes NO sense.

    Bronny is in. If we can't take advantage of this lineup, we're doomed.

    Sengun is not stepping up man. He looks tentative and hesitant. He should've gotten this out of his system against the Warriors last year...

    Yeah, I don't get it. Makes no sense. It's tough being a Houston Rocket fan.

    I want Reed to stay with the Rockets but this organization just makes such bad decisions, I think he would be better served to go elsewhere.
