    Streak started with Minnesota, and will end with Minnesota. Neither game felt great, but this one was slightly better seeing as it was the second night of a back-to-back and we got to see an Amen masterclass.

    Wish we didn't waste it, though.

    Ime's rotations puzzle me. I get that Reed didn't have his BEST game, but pulling him when he scored 5 in a row and disrupting his rhythm doesn't make sense, especially since it seemed like he was absolutely out of rhythm in the 4th

    Think ive heard that about 25 times this season.

    I'm in disbelief there's still people who argue he isnt a huge reason this team sucks in the grand scheme of things.

    Our big 3 did their job, 40 for 53. This is on everyone else.

    The real important game tonight is Phoenix LA. We are toast against anyone besides LA

    As I suspected, the win streak didn't prove a thing. Our team is a paper tiger.

    When playing a legit tough opponent down the stretch where the margin for error is thin, Rockets will crumble.

    20 years here and there always will be losers trying to explain why being a lower seed is actually better than being a higher seed.
    I almost let my guard down for a minute with this team. But the roster is too weird. It was a reversal Morey.

    Playoffs in the west are too hard, winning without leadership is almost impossible.

    That's Ime for ya. He's reducing Reed's minutes and going back to the wing heavy lineups with guys who can't shoot.

    The man learned absolutely nothing from the last few weeks.

    No Reed when we need points.

    We know that.

    Because Ime is a joke.
