Your two “all stars” can’t make a basket in over two in a half minutes? This isn’t an anomaly either.

I don't care who is out. If you have that kind of lead with that little time left and you're an NBA team with Zion and BI, you should be able to figure out a way to get to the finish line.

They’re not really end of game ball handlers. Why Van Fleet took over. Not having CJ and Jose really hurt. They couldn’t get anything set offensively.

It's fricking bullshite. I agree with that. I think Zion disappeared because he was gassed. Him being out of shape cost us tonight by far. He's still good but he ain't God mode Zion yet. He can do what he did in the 1st q all game if he's fricking healthy. It's just gonna take time

The real question isn't being answered though... why the frick did Larry not miss the 2nd FT on purpose?

Meh. The thesis of this team is BI and Zion can win you a title. If that is true, healthy BI and Zion plus g-league roster beat the rockets more often than not. The championship duos win this game.

And why the frick is he out of shape? Cause he’s an entitled immature spoiled brat. The dude can’t get in shape yet we throw max deals at his lazy entitled arse.

Larry had a shite game. We keep him playing him at center and he sucks. I don’t understand why this regime forces him to play center.

That loss is on either BI or the coaches. It was beyond obvious they were taking BI away, so instead of forcing it to him up top over and over, let someone else handle the ball and run BI through some screens closer to the basket if you are dead set on getting him the ball.

If the coaches were too stupid to not come up with another play it’s on them. If BI wasn’t comfortable doing something else, that’s still on the coaches for not doing something different anyway, but would be another piece of evidence for BI’s poor fit.

I understand we can’t let him walk but there’s zero reason his arse shouldn’t be in shape.

This was a tough loss but rockets are fully healthy and at home. We were still missing a lot of guys and on the road. This was a competitive good game. They play like this moving forward we’ll be more than ok.

I agree. It's wildly infuriating. How the frick is the team not getting through to this dude.

I mean yeah, and he should've known to miss it on purpose but like... how is everyone affiliated with Pels in the Toyota Center not telling him to miss the second FT on purpose?

I don’t know, I think it’s because he had 5 fouls and they probably were scared the refs would call a 6th on offense

After watching the game I don't understand all the blaming BI. After he got his 5 the refs let Brooks commit murder I still can't believe they didn't call Brooks pulling BI down they called that twice on him early in the game and then swallowed the whistle. I can see blaming Willie those Seabron first half minutes lost the game and having Dyson start the sets at the end sealed it. Once JV went out Willie should have just run BI Zion pick and roll.

This rockets team is the jazz of last year. As the season progresses and they actually have injuries, they’ll fade. This team plays every game like the playoffs.

I think Seabron over Kira was smart. Not playing Kira honestly helped us.
