Youth mistakes compounded but still proud. Don’t like this type of streaking though. Pls beat the Warriors tomorrow night! We are trending the right way as a competitive bunch. Good night!
Tough L’s but we can play with anybody. Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers all have HOF’s and we’re right there with a young team.
Two heartbreaking losses in a row. But this team can hang with anyone.
God the angle of that Brooks heave combined with the commentators excitement, thought it was going in
We hustled hard these are the games we’d be blown out in last season, refs not favoring us on the road and a superstar player going nuclear dissapointed with Dillon on the last play but the Landale minutes really really hurt us
We’ve yet to win an away game.
Lakers had 29 FTs to our 10.
Jalen Green is so frustrating man. He HAS to play better.
Man I wanted y’all to get this one, just came up a little short
Sengun is generational though, you guys got a good one
You just need more out of Jalen Green man…
Get Sengun some help
Why Dillon? Why? Just let Bron shoot a dumb fadeway. WTF!!!
Jalen Green basically stood around the other half of the 4th quarter. Extremely disappointing.
Fucking hell. Jalen Green…step it up. Our team is fun to watch though! Onto the next one
JG step the fuck up man.
Pros: This team plays real defence. Sengun is becoming an all star. Fred and Dillon are net positives. Bari’s struggling on offense but he is generally very good on defense
Cons: bench not so good apart from uncle Jeff. Jalen is still not getting better.
Bari and Jalen are breakin’ my heart man.
Backup center who can defend would improve the team significantly
Alpi carried the team on his back. We could not do anything when he was off the floor.
I don’t think Jalen green deserves to start at this point. I said this in the game thread as well but it is EMBARRASSING how much better Sengun is than him despite Jalen getting more playing time.
Tough game. I think Houston couldn’t afford to lose Alpy due to foul trouble. They dont get elite offensive production from anyone else.
Bad mistakes at the end cost us this game, but damn Sengun going at Lebron for a clutch shot, FVV icing Reaves at the line, This team is so fun. This would have been an automatic loss last season, but we were incredibly competitive tonight. The future looks bright
Bari and Jalen… Get your shit together soon. Cuz tari and amen look more promising at the moment.
Jalen Green cannot be a non-factor this often. Hopefully more distance from Silas’ terrorism will help
What is Jalen Green Doing? He was invisible today. If his 3 is not hitting, he fades into obscurity.
6-5 WITH 3 LOSSES BY A HAIR THAT WE COULD’VE WON. THOSE WILL COME WITH TIME AND EXPERIENCE AND FAMILIARITY
ALPI IS HIM. NOTHING ELSE TO SAY
JALEN NEEDS TO STEP UP. THIS TEAM CAN WIN A LOT OF GAMES IF WE CAN PENCIL HIM IN FOR AN EFFICIENT 22 A NIGHT. HE’S GOT TO BE BETTER BECAUSE HE’S THE GUY THAT SETS OUR CEILING.
DILLON BROOKS IS UNDERPAID.
WE NEED CAM TO BE READY OR AMEN TO BE HEALTHY OR TO GO BACK IN TIME AND SMACK SOME SENSE INTO KPJ BECAUSE WE NEED A WAY TO MANUFACTURE POINTS OFF THE BENCH
I DON’T MIND IF BARI ISN’T SCORING 20, BUT 5 BOARDS AND NO BLOCKS AIN’T IT.
FUCKING BIG UNC HOLDING IT DOWN FOR NOW
TOO MANY DUMB TURNOVERS FROM EVERYONE TONIGHT. THAT’S HOW WE LOST.
NOT THAT THE FT DISCREPANCY WAS ANY HELP. LA TEAMS REALLY GETTING SOME NICE WHISTLES AGAINST US.
WE HUNG TOUGH, WE NEVER QUIT, AND WE HAD A CHANCE TO WIN. SO HAPPY WITH THIS TEAM RIGHT NOW.
STAY TIPPIN TIL TOMORROW
We will go 0-3 after Warriors game tomorrow. And that’s okay. Just keep playing
Jalen Green just getting his cardio out there
It’s absolutely insane how many cant acknowledge that Jalen is struggling
1 min left, tie game chance to take the lead, post up Sengun
23 seconds left quick 2 situation, post up Sengun
11 seconds left chance to tie the game, post up Sengun
Last 3 possessions all went to Sengun, that is very encouraging from the coaching staff
Jalen needs to step up. I’m fed up with the excuses for him. He’s in his third year. Sengun is killing it. They are comparing Jalen to DBook and I just don’t see it anymore. Book was a 25ppg scorer in his third year.
