    all our passes are contested because we are slow to move and we don't know how to move collectively or individually.

    Jabari has been good. He's slowly becoming the player he was billed to be. Still has a lot of things to clean up, but Im happy with his trajectory.

    Amazon showed him coming to the arena before the game but I guess he's not out there on the bench. Definitely odd.

    Yes they are, stop deluding yourself, we're getting swept, because we suck.

    Good to know.

    I definitely don't see him on the bench so far, unless I'm just blind. He's kinda hard to miss though.

    I don't know if he just left when we came out flat or what the deal is.

    Garuba
    TyTy
    Guard (Forgot his name)

    Porter
    AJ Griffin


    were all signs that Stone didn't have any type of Edge - Magic Touch when putting a team together.



    So I am not that surprised with this.

    HES NOT!!! I started looking close mid second quarter. Commentators haven’t even said a word about him.

    What a joke

    Rockets version of "just down 6" feels like it's down 36. Lot of laboring just to get simple buckets
