Hope Fred’s alright.
Twenty point lead, jesus
We had a 20-pt lead at one point, youth is gonna youth. We move though, I’ll take no more nights of having to hear Doris again this season!
Unfortunate the Sengun triple-double was for naught, but that’s our DAWG.
Has a career night as the number one option the night before, and makes a triple-double on 43 minutes in a B2B as the number one again.
Who let tate cook bruh
If Alpi has people hit shots consistently, these triple dubs will be on repeat.
Well I turned on the game in the late 4th right when they choked the lead so sorry for cursing us
Off season goals:
Sengun practice practice practice his free throws
Find a real starting shooting guard (Cam?)
Make sure Adams recovery goes as best as possible. We need that defense rebounding big.
I’m so glad Rockets dont have national games so I don’t have to hear Doris Burke anymore.
43min is tough. Could have ended better if it wasn’t a B2B.
Too much talent and experience on clippers , rockets fought hard and it was a close game . Don’t get mad for this loss
FUKKKK DORIS DUMB ASS DONT EVEN KNOW HOW TO COUNT.
FUKK THE REFS ALL MY LIFE, BETTING ON CLIPS,
AND FUKKK! WE HAD THIS SHIT. MAKE YOUR DAMM FREE THROWS. I FELT CAM SHOULD OF STAYED IN THE 4TH.JALEN GOOD BUT BAD AT THE END. GOOD GAME ONA B2B BUT FUKKKK WE HAD THAT SHIIIIIT
Ime needs to give Jalen a red light from three. Just drive, every time. Who cares if its predictable? Once teams start playing him like Ben Simmons then start shooting again then.
Also stop playing that walking piece of garbage Tate. If guys are hurt then shorten the rotation.
Ime let us down this game. Every time Cam gets hot, Ime pulls him. Cam should’ve been out there in the 4th. Not saying we would’ve been able to stop a hot Kawhi, but Cam would’ve gave us some better spacing and shooting.
I can’t understand how it is possible to play perhaps (collective) best game of the season in the first half and then play as badly in the second half as they play in the away games.
Fatigue in 2nd half possibly attributable to b2b
ngl the 2 in and outs in a row already let me know we were gonna lose 💀
but this felt like an experience thing more than flat out losing because you suck AND the clippers dream trio playing good? im not mad at it
37.5 % FT, wt actual f Alpi
Team doesnt know how to win yet. Plain and simple. Too many mistakes down the stretch & no, it wasn’t just one guy. Multiple players contributed to the collapse. Learn & grow.
Have never been a fan of Houston sports in general but what your team has in terms of young talent is fun to watch. I have recently especially been high on Jalen Green and Jabari Smith Jr, and it’s always good to see teams go out and get veteran leadership that can contribute on and off the court, like your team did with Jeff Green, FVV and Dillon Brooks. Sucks to see a great game from your blossoming young big man get ruined late by questionable officiating.
# Clippers shot 55% from the field & put up 42pts in the 4th… FORTY TWO POINTS FML
Jabari needs to bulk up. He can’t get boards for gods sake and he got shoved by Kawhi and George who are 4 inches shorter than him.
Mistakes were made for sure but this game was more about Clippers deciding to not miss a shot than it was about Rockets. They are too stacked and if Kawhi can manage to stay in one piece they are going to be champs. No shame in losing to them, even with a 20 point lead.
It’s a shit week. First Texas hoops, embarrassed by the Aggies, and now this.
Damn, really wanted to post:

Sengun sold a master class by Sengun smh
How the hell was Bari -20 lol I know he was getting cooked by pg but damn
It was clear that the moment they closed the gap we would lose the game, you could see the team falling apart just based on their body language. Not the first time and not the last.
Mentally speaking, this team is still too weak and incapable of overcoming adversities.
The obvious result of being an extremely young and inexperienced team.
A typical L that serves as a lesson in maturity.
Good game overall against a real contender, can’t complain.
Man, I wanted the team to learn to count to three 🙁
Disappointing given how this was a winnable game, but the Clippers’ experience were on display right here. Their team knows when to push the pedal when needed and they did.
Not gonna bother playing the blame game but it’s a part and parcel of a young team. There are ups and downs and that is fine. I wish people would get that but I will always see people ready to burn and put the players on a stake.
I hope FVV is alright! Off to the next game, go Rockets.
Losses like this hurt the most
Same ol second half Rockets
