Why is Jalen now playing less than 20 minutes a game? What the fuck is this bullshit coaching?
Some next level chucking.
NAH. THEY DON’T DESERVE ANY POST GAME ENERGY FROM ME AFTER THAT SHOWING.
BETTER FINISH .500
Ime deserves the blame for this loss. Complete over-reliance on Fred and burned him out by the 4th, and simultaneously killed Jalen and Jabari’s confidence by sitting them for too long.
These games don’t matter. Why are we sitting our 2nd and 3rd overall picks for pretty much the entire second half? Let them figure this out instead of playing a bunch of vets who can’t create their own shot….
Udoka hates Jalen and Jabari. One of them is probably getting traded this off season
Ime and his stubborn lineups is horrible. Nobody wants to see Fred try to be Superman. If you are going to sit out Jalen You got Cam Whitmore a bucket getter. This can’t happen next year. Ime is too stubborn for his own good.
39 wins was still a good result but this may be the worst of quite a handful of mind numbingly dumb losses this year lol
I want my 2.5 hours back.
Me right now…
#FTJ
(And our effort tonight). What happened?!
Are we concerned with Jalen and Jabari for getting outplayed and benched vs the G league Jazz? Does Jalen need to become a sperm donor in order to replicate his March level of play? Could FVV build the Taj Mahal with those 4th Quarter bricks?
cmon win the last 2 games we can make 500
Thank you rockets and astros for ruining my whole day 😒
Jalen on any given night either makes me the happiest fan in the world or makes me wanna kms. No in between
The core 6 is now basically Amen. Ime has no intention on developing Cam, JG and Bari. Apli and Tari probably would be bench to if they were available. Closing out with guys that won’t be on the team is a few years and leaving the young guys on the bench 🤦
Jalen Green back to sucking :/
Sickening basketball. Actually hard to watch the last quarter.
Not just here to talk smack but that was genuinely just horrible by VanVleet. I used to actually like this dude until watching this game. Cost them the game singlehandedly. I’ve never seen someone so blatantly stat chase like that, I’d be embarrassed if I was him. Shooting twos at 15%? Go on Fred just keep ball hogging.
I would’ve rather seen one of the arena janitors take that last three instead of VanVleet. Dude dint hit a single clutch shot the last ten minutes.
I have second hand embarrassment for that dude.
did not watch the game
Was brooks better than Jalen green this game?
Should give a chance for green to adjust in game
Got one foot in Cancun already clearly
Rockets diamond, promising, sky is the limit young core against 5 undrafted bricksters and still lose😭😭
You just Lofton Jr’ed. Wake up to reality fellas
One team wanted to win and it wasn’t the rockets. Out coached. Out hustled. Out worked.
They took a dump on my ice cream sundae
First Rockets game I’ve watched this season and I have a genuine question. Why in the absolute fuck was Thompson not getting the ball non stop? That entire last quarter he barely touched the ball but the entire game he was dominating whenever he did get it.
Just mind boggling that he wasn’t getting it and instead we got to see VanVleet and Brooks have a mid off.
Man, watching this was just depressing. Jalen out there being passive and making sure why people still doubt him. Ime yanking our guys but letting the vets with the longest chain that leads to burning out. Overall just not a good game to watch and not the way you want to wrap up your season.
You guys still have two games to go. At least go out with a bang. Go Rockets.
Somebody needs to question Ime and his stubborn coaching ways. Who the fuck wants to see Fred and Dillon Chuck up shots ?? We should be developing our young core and giving them confidence to go into next year. No way in hell should I be seeing Fred trying to be Superman and Dillon bricking shots. They coudn’t buy a bucket and you have Cam Whitmore a certified bucket getter just watching in the sidelines. This is disgusting I’m tired of his bs.
I unfortunately only caught the 4th and didn’t have the volume on and assumed that Bari and Jalen were hurt. Turns out they were benched? I never want to see that lineup ever again in my life.
Even when dropping 42, FVV *still* can’t shoot higher than 40% 😪
lol
Ig our season was over anyways
Ppl laughed at me when I said Kenneth Lofton Jr. could be a good nba player.
Don’t worry guys this rockets team is definitely up next. Doesn’t matter that they didn’t finish above any of the non tanking teams. The jazz g league team is just underrated.
If this was the first game I watched all season of the rockets and you told me this team went on a 11 game winning streak I would have laughed at your face and told you to stop doing drugs
Wth is this line up ? The 3rd and 4th quater is basically FVV show. No ball movement, just watching FVV chucking shots and 4 players fighting rebound. This lost is on Ime.
Rockets got taught a basketball lesson by Grimace Jr and the Hamburgler. If not for Fred’s miraculous 3s it would have been a rout.
