Yeah there's only 6 games left and still have the same issues with this group...getting timely buckets at critical times. Hoped we'd have figured things out by now. But Closing of games or our inability to, is gonna lead to some crushing defeats in the playoffs. But guess its just something you gotta accept going thru the growing pains with a young team like this.

I know Fred is a great guy and we need him. But his fucking jumper is so hot/cold (usually cold) and he got picked on defensively in the 4th quarter. We didn't double and Luka/LBJ ate him up.ย ย 

I hate having Brooks and FVV on the court together at end of games. Jalen should have been in for FVV in crunch time last night, especially considering it was a back-to-back.ย

Give me a fucking break. This is delusional.

Green fucking sucks. He's still the worst player (on/off) of the Rockets regulars. 4th year and there has been no real growth in his game. Still upside down on his ORtg/DRtg.

He has made steady improvement the past 2 years and is shooting better now than at any point in his career. I can point out a bunch of stats and lists he is in rare company for a SG at his age.

Did think it was odd that Ime chose to sit Green the last 3/4 minutes last night. May have been looking for better defensive matchups. Did he mention anything about it in his postgame presser?

he absolutely should have been in the game.

This isn't true. His best shooting splits are from his rookie season. I was hopeful this season, after he got his big extension that he would put in real work to reshape his body and get stronger. None of this has happened and he's just too weak with the ball and his body to take contact on drives. While his 3-point shooting has improved, it's still below league average. This combined with his career low in FTr. means that he's overall the same player he has always been for 4 years. When added to his below average defense and basketball IQ you get the worst rotational player on your roster when you are expecting and paying for AS level production.

Too bad the Spurs are such a bunch of losers or Denver might be in trouble tonight.ย 

Denverโ€™s entire starting 5 is outย

Reed is balling and all the rotation players got the 4th off. Good to see.

5 for 7, all from 3 in 9 min is nuts. ย
