Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost and NBA Draft enthusiast Madison Moore (@MadManLeaks) to discuss the Houston Rockets 128-119 loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo, Damian Lillard, and the Milwaukee Bucks. The two main reasons the Rockets lost this game, encouraging sings offensively from Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun two-man game, Jabari Smith Jr. feasting in the mid-range, seven Rockets scoring in double figures, interesting lineup and rotation decisions by head coach Ime Udoka, hypocritical officiating and missed calls leads to Dillon Brooks and Udoka both being ejected at the end and more.

We were lit up by Dame/Giannis and the Refs
Nice! 💎💪🏽😉
1) they have more size than we do
2) Giannis and Dame can't be touched
3) we played well enough to win
sengun needs to improve his 3 points, he is putting bad name for european bigs
We just got out rebounded plain and simple we can’t give up over 20 second half points.
This game aganist the Bucks showed that we really need to get a backup big and another shooter.
Because as much as I love uncle Jeff we can’t keep putting him at the 5 and Aaron Holiday he looks like he might be coming back down to earth.Ime left him and Tate too long that’s the thing he trusts those guys too much Sengun and Jalen were finding there grove on offense by bench them and play them when the fourth quarter is half way over.
Plain and simple we need a better bench hopefully Stone will be able to trade for either a backup big or some shooting and if you have to trade Tate along with Landale so be it.
Because if we don’t make the playoffs or at least the play in this season will be a disappointment
Sengun hasn't been playing well since he did the podcast with Paul George. Did they put a strong laxative in his drink?
Can they just start Tari Eason?
Tired of the moral victories. Refs are trash. I would've walked off with coach.
Starting Tari as SF on games where rebounds and size are important may be the key.
Dame has always went hard against us no matter if its playoffs pre season or regular season he hears Rockets now all he see's is red lol
We have a back to back so i assume thats why we didnt get as much run from certain guys.
Holiday and Tate better 3pt% shooters than Jalen as of now 🤣 and around %58 ts in the squad as top3 shooters.
They may not hit the total of 5 shots in the game, but calling them weird line up is over-reaching.
We lost because of our lack of firepower and experience. Part of the process.
The officiating last night was absolutely horrendous. Y’all, I’m 25 years old and have been watching sports since I learned how to read. Never have I ever felt a way about refs or how they operate because it’s now an easy job and it takes a lot of mental fortitude and focus to do the job efficiently. The refs gave the Bucks WHATEVER call they wanted. They gave Dillon Brooks a foul that they didn’t give to Brook Lopez. They said Giannis didn’t commit a foul on Sengun, when he clearly did. And to top it off they gave Dill a tech for trying to save the ball. This officiating where Dillon gets picked on for transgressions he had last year is getting old af. I don’t look forward to playing in Milwaukeee again, but really, I don’t want to see those specific refs in our games anymore, straight up emotional af
Even though alpi isn't an amazing rebounder he always does a good job boxing out opponents to help his teammates secure the rebound. I feel like because Lopez was mostly at the perimeter Alpi couldn't do that this game and Bucks went crazy with offensive boards.
