    It's depressing that this team is going to crash and burn to ground. Ime will live another day only because Tilman paid him so much. There is zero excuse this team should be losing to this Laker team. It's hard to be a fan of this team, but I'll be here like a fool next season.

    Among many things in this rebuild, the most striking one is no player being developed properly. That goes back to Silas being the coach, development is not important, it is just geting the picks. then udoka came and he can't develop the players offensively even if he wanted to. The whole thing goes back to Stone. He thought collecting picks and drafting best available is enough to be a good GM. and I am watching Sengun fighting for position as the other 4 just stands still, trying to post up like it is the 90s.

    Maybe if Amen start playing aggressively and going into the paint more, we might have a chance

    My younger son has the Rockets minimized in multiview on Amazon while we watch the Celts/6ers and I'm mad he hasn't just turned it off

    Amen just with a terrible decision, going at a crafty defender with options on either side.

    He is what he is. It's only a problem if you want to pretend he's a guard

    Alright turned it off. Can’t watch them anymore. I’ll enjoy the comedy and arguments on the thread better.
