Jalen Green has to play a lot better.

Nothing wrong with Sengun. He’s the best player


I'd say thats a problem. He's not supposed to be their best player.

He’s young though and will get even better especially his shooting which is the only thing holding him back. They would be crazy to trade him away

My god FVV is an absolute terrorist out there man. Move off him in the off season.

At least green is young.

I wouldn't trade him he's really good. I just wouldn't build my team around him. He'd be a good 2nd option i think.

Butler got some pretty good lift on that attempted alleyoop. I didn't think he had that in him anymore.

nba is a star driven league. when the rockets have stars then the fans will come. you cant sell this roster to a casual fan in Houston.


Even when Harden was playing there were still so many empty seats . The nba just isn’t as popular as some would have you believe

I think OKC is a terrible match-up for them, so they will likely need someone else to knock them off.

The Warriors have played them tough every single game this season. Quite literally the opposite of what's been happening this season.

They won't trade him. It's opposition supporters with hidden agendas (wanting their team to trade for Alpie on the cheap) that are implying it.

Buddy Hield is so bad. Horrid defender, low-IQ, and useless offensively unless it's a wide open 3. Anytime he's on the floor, you know the opposing team is going on a run.

Steven Adams cleaning the floor is the coolest. Come back to OKC big guy!

Amen has no idea what he's doing on offense.

The Warriors are getting manhandled on the boards. If the Rockets get some of these threes to drop in 4th quarter the game is gonna tighten up quickly
