| A disaster of a road trip. Rockets I think will challenge for the playoffs. They got some young ballers |

Udoka is a good coach.

Yes, it does
This team played defense last year. They are obviously missing vando for the early part of the season.
It’s all about the Defense |
Putting all the hopes on 1 good player isn’t gonna change anything if players are playing for there next contract |

| Idk how much longer we can keep starting DLo and Reaves together. Teams know how to attack now with those 2 on the court. |

When is the last time the Lakers blew out a team like this?
ZERO killer instinct. ZERO pride.
Embarrassing.

That’s the concerning part the injuries aren’t the reason for the effort the last 3 games, this team doesn’t care |

| Expected the loss even before the AD news. At least I've made some money again betting against them. |

Not gonna lie I stop paying full attention to the game pretty early on. You know missing people and all that is not in anyone's control. But effort is and I've said it before and I'll say it again this game did not pass the vibe check. I'm not sure what's going on but the vibes aren't there.

| It must be bad if Castleton and Hodge are playing especially in a game like this |

I was clearly wrong 
The Rockets are over .500 for the first time in 3 years. That’s really surprising |

I think the AD charade really screws up the game plan and effort. AD wants to play it off like he is a tough guy who wants to play through discomfort so he pretends like he is going to play, knowing full well he will not. Then the players are waiting in anticipation and hit with a curveball 20 minutes before tip-off. If he would’ve been ruled out yesterday, we would’ve played better. |

I wish it is that simple
Although I would put AR on the bench and start vando and prince with DLO |

We aren’t very good right now and we better get our act together because the west is good enough this season where we miss even with this deeper team.
Once again we aren’t going to do well if it’s Day to Davis and Lebron is still counted upon as 1/2. |

These losses are far deeper than energy. Teams know how to beat us. We are constantly losing the Chess battle also, thanks to our head coach. |
