    Cam looks good even with some rookie mistakes, love to see it. Looking forward to him getting a larger role further in the season.

    If nothing else, we finally have someone who cuts a lot for Sengun. Even if it didn’t result in much tonight, when chemistry builds hopefully we can get a star version of KJ Martin out there.

  2. splat_view

    we can’t take anymore injured, team won’t be competitive. I swear Rockets gotta beat the pistons

  3. Excellent-Cod-3430

    What do you guys think of Amen Thompson?

    I was high on him coming into the draft but today he looked like a bust. Should we consider trading him at the deadline with 2 firsts for someone like Dennis Schroder or Tyus Jones to bolster our bench offense?

  4. Turkiyebestcountry33

    Rockets needs someone that can shoot 3s

  5. WuziMuzik

    What the holy hell was that coaching job?! Udoka really does have a problem with offense shit!

  6. diffaadiffa

    Got killed on the boards and they shot much cleaner in the mid range. Just a frustrating game to watch when you see that happening. Our shots more often than not felt rushed or being taken from tough looks.

    Definitely a learning lesson at times in this game.

    Also, yeah that forth quarter from Holiday was annoying as fuck to watch.

  7. StandardProper5127

    Aaron played disgusting selfish basketball. And it wasn’t by mistake as well.

  8. dpatel211

    I’m learning that this subreddit cannot go one game thread without praising one young player and having the urge to shit on another young player as well… we get it. Amen is raw and has much to learn, Cam needs more minutes as well. But there’s no need to pit them against each other when they both are first-year players who are also OUR players man.

  9. dpatel211

    I get Aaron Holiday is trying to shoot his way into more rotation opportunities but he might fuck around and do the opposite at the rate he’s going lmao

  10. nonetimeaccount

    FUCK YOU ERIC, FIRST AND FOREMOST. LUV U, BBY.

    ANYTIME ANYONE QUESTIONS DILLON BROOKS’ CONTRACT, SEND THEM THIS GAME TAPE.

    REST UP, BARI.

    ALMOST WORTH IT TO SEE JALEN HIT SOME SHOTS AGAIN. PLEASE LET THIS BE THE START OF SOMETHING.

    I CAN’T WAIT FOR CAM’S FIRST 30 BURGER.

    WE COMING FOR THAT ASS ON FRIDAY, u/dmorey

    STAY TIPPIN

  11. Intelligent-Bid-633

    Holiday has no business shooting 13 times

  12. WestNo4177

    It’s a long season. I’m looking forward to seeing the development of this team and the radical individuals in this subreddit group. Y’all are completely unhinged and detached from our shared reality. It is hilarious, misery looks good on y’all! See y’all Friday! 🤘🏾

  13. Suns fan here, I just wanted to say, Sengun is SUCH a beast. I’ve never watched him play until tonight- You guys have a serious franchise player right there hot damn. I’m imagining it would have been a different game with Dillion Brooks. GG Y’all! Suns have needed a win desperately, and I respect your team a lot so it reignited some hope in my Suns there.

  14. ptcgoalex

    Udoka really quieted the COTY conversation with this one

  15. KDs_FakeAccount

    Ugly hoops tonight, at least Jalen and Sengun played decent. Cam got a burner, probably will get more mins with these injuries stacking up

  16. Anibunnymilli

    Aaron kinda killed us in the 4th. We weren’t gonna win but at least we coulda seen some nice Cam and Amen run time

  17. loved that “veteran leadership” in the 4th quarter from Holiday 🤡🤡🤡

  18. Anibunnymilli

    Cam needs to play with the starting unit. With Sengun and Fred feeding him he could be insane.

  19. I loved amens hustle.man. holiday really pissed me off though. But i mean i kno we ahead of schedule and our weakness are starting to hurt. But damm its like develop players or trade ro make the playoff cause i dont think we cwn make it this year. Not a know just we not there yet, greatly improved but not playoff ready

  20. AutographedSnorkel

    People really thought this was a playoff team…

  21. Fredderick Edmund VanVleet Sr.’s play style is not good for a developing team. Also he needs to pass more than shoot. He can’t shoot well or score at the rim well.

  22. BigTonyEnergy

    The undefeated DUNKSTRONAUT era did not last long. Keep playing with low energy to start games, letting teams gain confidence from three and play catch up from there. Wonder what Brooks and Bari situations are like?

  23. nonetimeaccount

    THEY MADE GERALD MAD AND SAD AND I DON’T LIKE THAT

  24. No chance to win when Sengun played bad (by his standards)

  25. fashionandfeetz

    Cam with an easy and efficient 12 points.

    What did Holiday do to deserve a green light like that?

    Overall ugly game. No energy. Felt like I was watching a game from last year.

  26. mrbones247

    Greta Van Fleet played great but Holiday was lacking.

  27. antipoopsuperstar

    Looking forward to reading all the hot takes here.

  28. Andermoon

    (As a Rox and Hox fan, I cannot believe the leeway Holiday is getting.)

  29. Poor game all round but hopefully we have an Embiid-less Sixers and Silas aided terrorist organisation Pistons to correct course.

    Hopefully Brooks and Jabari don’t miss too much time. Our defence has been bad recently and it’s painfully apparent how much worse it gets when they’re missing.

    Rotations were odd this game also, need to figure things out soon but again it’s a long season, more disappointed with yesterday’s loss though.

  30. rybres123

    horrible game to watch mostly.

    hope Bari is ok.

    for those impatient ones screaming for amen and cam…..the time has come, as we all said it would. these guys will get to play meaningful minutes for at least a few games it looks like. if they outplay the guys in front of them, they will probably keep these minutes going forward. this is the normal process young players get playing time on good teams – which is what we are now.

  31. JaTari_Wemba

    Guess Vegas is smart for putting the Rockets as the underdogs even w how well the Rockets played at home.

  32. StandardProper5127

    My question is who’s going to start over Jabari next game
