    Our bench has zero points again. The worst bench in the history.

    here’s the thing. l love what tilman has done for our city. for the cougars for the comets for nhl possibly really coming. but he’s happy turning a major profit on the rockets ownership. i need him to give a **** about winning and can these two clowns stone and udoka cause this is on him too.

    Not a good night for everyone forgetting how to put the ball in the hoop. No flow to the offense. It's easy to jump our isos with Alpi and Amen, and we look like preschoolers trying to run P&R

    Lakers packing paint and Amen and Alpi too selfish to kick it out to our 3pt shooters … Reed can’t get by Hayes or Ayton - dribbles 10-15 sec out the clocks and then passes to Alpi for a airball … 3x so far tonight…

    come on Ime…

    It used to be defense/rebounding. We have no 2-way players and no elite scorers. Our center is the only guy who can get a shot when he wants one but it takes 20 seconds for him to get there and he isn’t efficient. a lot of pieces with no nucleus.

    Not sure Sengun could consistently get the ball to them, even if he had them.

    We could lose by 25. The Lakers are about to front-run so hard on us.

    Nah you run him in the post or defacto point guard and let him use him passing skillls. Shooting opens up the court

    Well it was a pretty miserable season overall but will be a very interesting offseason or not at all and we run it back with an aging roster. Would be great to not trot out one or the worst benches in NBA history. I hope DFS steps on a Lego every day of the offseason, is that not the worst free agent signing of all time?

    That’s the definition of being outcoached. Ime’s lack of offense, adjustment, stagnant basketball simply doesn’t cut it here.

    Sengun ain’t that guy. Anybody who knows ball can see it. This is good though because hopefully the front office will finally move off from him.

    Tilllman bought the Comets for a reason. They’re coming out in the second half, surely they can score more in a half.

    i love you longtime cf brother salvy but don’t make people feel like you’re carrying water for this guy who most certainly has culpability with what’s going on right now. he’s the ******* coach and its blatant man. come on
