Proud of them to hang on in the 4th. 

Hopefully it's just a slump but I'm concerned about FVV. Feels like his margin for error for being good offensively is very small, and it only will get worse as he gets older. 

When the game/situation is right, I'd like to see Sheppard fire away when he gets minutes.

This is his last season with a guaranteed contract. If Van Vleet struggles all season and shows signs of falling off the cliff, the Rockets can cut him and have a little money for FA, though the better idea would be to try to flip him for an upgrade.

Yeah, I knew that. But saw somewhere that FVV permanently resides in Houston, and wants to stay with Rockets after this year. 

I like him and he's a great teammate for the young guys. Maybe he will take a team-friendly deal. Just want to see more minutes for Sheppard sooner than later.

Would rather he melt down this season so we don’t give him a dumb extension rumored in preseason.

It's likely not going to work out with Ime and this current personnel. His offense is so bad without 2 All-NBA players creating shots for themselves and others. They were stupid to give Van Vleet $40M but balked at Harden at $33M.

Fizzled out....missed alot of layups in OT 

1-12 in OT. Reed needs to take over from FVV who is getting worse every game. He was getting abused on defense

We'd be 6-0 with Harden instead of Fred.

Man, stop.

Ime wants a certain culture and Harden has shown he isn't that. It's ok for the Rockets to turn down a bad cultural fit. It's the beginning of a long season.

I am sure he does want a different culture, the problem is that culture doesn't translate to wins.

Harden ain't the difference.

Go trade for Giannis

Need a third team to dump FVV off to, or for Milwaukee to go full blow it up mode and dump Dame to.  I am trying to figure it out on the trade machine.

Is there a logical reason why tomorrow nights game starts at 7:45? It does not look to be on any national broadcast.

Not logical but this is what I found:

The game has a different start time of 7:45 instead of the usual 7:00 because the league has all 30 teams playing as part of its campaign to encourage citizens to vote for Election Day on Tuesday.

Thanks....makes about as much sense as having Kamala or Trump as our next President

1. it’s dumb 

2. nba game will be starting every 15mins tonight. rockets have the #8 slot

3. no games tomorrow

Rockets playing great with Tari, Reed and Amen kicking ass and then bring in the starters and close out the 2nd quarter in a shitty manner.

It’s criminal that Tari, Amen, Reed are not on the floor together for 30 minutes a game. I have been a huge Ime supporter but he has really disappointed this season with his rotations and the lack of motion in our offense.
