Rockets getting humbled. They sure could use a dynamic veteran shot creator...

Rockets exiting early would be so good for the Bucks.

The Rockets having offensive issues? You don't say.

Hield's always been such an unserious player. Instead of grabbing the loose ball he just dribbled it out of bounds.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. We could use a lot of things, though.

That one almost hit the ceiling before going in. Steph is cold-blooded, boy. One of the best to ever do it.

VanVleet sucks
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

If we'd have gotten Jimmy we'd be finals bound. Don't care what anyone else says.

Wow, GS dismissed that comeback in a heartbeat. It was four points like 15 seconds ago.

Yeah, he’d have been our second best player while being our third option offensively. He would have given us a massive boost.

Bobby Portis is the gift that just keeps giving. We'll never know what could've been had he not had the looming suspension.

Steph/Jimmy in a close game in the playoffs is just too clutch.

Podziemski, the pride of Greenfield. The guy's so good. He's ubiquitous, plays way bigger than his height. We could use a guy like him.

Golden State are real contenders fo sho. And if they pull it off, that would put Steph on the Mt Rushmore of bball.

Podz is another guy I wonder if we could've bought low on. He was pretty horrendous for stretches this season, but he's been awesome of late.

Atkinson should have been the hire.


Imagine drafting a guy like some random dude named Sam Merrill. Would be crazy to just give that up.

Two times we had a shot at getting him and failed. This has been the biggest mistake of the Giannis era.

we got two years of Grayson Allen in our core years for a guy who didn't do anything for years later.....after he was waived twice. it would have been crazy to keep him. if you would've said we missed the opportunity to pick him up twice as a FA....sure. but passing on a win-now trade to wait four years for the guy to be playable is insane. like even now he's a solid 19 mpg but it's not like he isn't replaceable. Hell a vet min like Beasley is just as good
