He’s last on the team in touches.

Nobody is giving him the ball when he’s open. They’re passing it to RJ and Ochai on fast break 3’s instead of GD. Darko gotta fix that.

2nd chance points against this team have been brutal. A lot of time.its not even due to size.

We have Cleveland next, which also have two big men’s, crazy.

I don't know why people think Darko lasts 25 games.

Give him time. Dick is one of those guys who's going to shoot lights out once we trade him lol. He's a shooter. He'll get it.

It’s not just the 3 bigs. Even their forwards are bigger than our tallest players. I’m amazed we’ve been able to keep it this close

It's almost as if they gave the team an obvious limitation so they'd have an easy add on mid season.

No center means everyone has to play bigger. This can lead to injuries but there's a development aspect to it.

Once you add a center and the forwards shift down a position. It should pay off.

Nice possession from Barnes there.

Yeah...the top 5 tallest guys in this game tonight are all Rockets.

Winning was also a slim chance and that's with a healthy Yak.

He's out of touch. He said we'd play defense, do you see it?

Bleh transition three from Quick, miss, HOU DRB, Jabari Smith scores on a drive after some decent pass-around from the Rockets. Ugh.

IQ can't guard anyone. even a bigger guy drives right by him.

Ingram has some horribly nonchalant passes

Especially with Ed around, he's going to last another year or 2. Only way he gets fired end of season is if we don't make playoffs. He's got one more year next year. I think Darko will try his best this year to make playoffs and win some games. If he makes the playoffs but doesn't win a game, he won't get an extension in the coming off season, and he will play next season as a lame-duck coach. Because Ed is that cheap.

This Houston team is really good. The overreactions can chill tonight. At least we battled, for now at least

I miss our prime Lowry

So much more impactful than any point guard we had in awhile.

Post #319 » by **tsherkin** » Thu Oct 30, 2025 12:02 am

Kind of a BS foul on CMB, and he's got to be frustrated. Scottie had a nice jab step but CMB couldn't handle the pass. Then Ingram threw it away and seemed to blame it on the rookie. Rough sequence for him.

EDIT: We look AWFUL right now. Throwing it away all over.
