  1. Good results so far, but the Rockets need to stay focused and not fold down the stretch and drop out of the #2 seed.

  2. Arguing with my friends that Christian Wood was a smart move for the Rockets 🤦🏾‍♂️…it was wild tryna see the silver lining back then 😂! It all worked out…shoutout to GM Stone!🫶🏾 #NotMissingMorey 👋🏾

  3. I believe the coaching will be the deciding factor in the playoffs.

    Udoka's lack of offensive tactics is concerning.

    We are also extremely vulnerable against 3 point dominant opponets with good shooters. Udoka choses to counter this type of teams by making us shoot more with our less effective shooters.

  4. As of now, three NBA teams have never won 50 games in a regular season: the Charlotte Hornets, the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Minnesota Timberwolves.

  5. I was saying that rockets gonna win 15 of last 20 games. 13 done 2 more to go . Yes i believe rockets gonna get 52W this season. My prediction still stands that we will win against gsw and clippers. We'll see.
    And already 50 win , clinched playoffs= Life is good.
    I want to give a shout-out to Rafael Stone. I didn't believe in him about many things but he proved me wrong. He did amazing things as a GM.

    @Jackson I remember how you were mentioning 'positive' things about rockets even tho we were keep losing non stop. All these times 17-20 losing streaks , painful . You were always kind and supportive to everyone even to Silas. So , many applause to you also . I can't even imagine how happy you are . Well deserved.

    Lets Go Rocket's! Release the hounds ~~!

  6. Yesterday was dooms day JG ? Now less than 24 hours later you’re celebrating 50 wins just yesterday. You were ready to trade our All-Star because he had a bad game. I’m not with Fairweather fans. I’m a Houston ride or die fan win or lose I bleed Rockets red so I was a little disappointed in seeing your reaction on your last show even though I understand your concerns you don’t turn on your starting All-Star center with five games to go in the regular season after 49 wins I understand you were upset and so were the rest of the Fairweather fans, but you gotta stay down for the cost. I’m gonna let it slide this time cause I know you’re a true blue Rockets fan, but don’t ever let me catch you again getting down on our best player just because LeBron James decided to play defense on that night. Go Rockets all the way to the finals, baby we believe do y’all remember that never underestimate the heart of a champion you’ve been warned
