Wasn’t able to watch the game cuz my direct TV was acting up. But seems like we put in a good effort with Same 4th quarter results. I don’t mind losing, if we’re at least competing, also it helps with top 10 draft pick status. I won’t fear losing if we can draft fears at 9, a pg archetype in the mold of ja morant/Westbrook/pre injury drose. Or even kasparas, whose in the mold of Haliburton.
at this stage in the season the higher the pick da better
Yes sir
ty bam nada and still had chance to win.wiggy ware 2 best players,id like to know bams 4th qtr #s.with jimmy they were nothing w/o jimmy pretty much nothing.
Either way, there 4th quarter numbers are helpful to getting us a higher pick, gotta hope they be better next season.
No thank you on kasparas
Just in option, but I do want fears.
playing dunc is just dum sorry i like the guy does good commercials but that defense kills us night afte rnight so fn obvious to me
coach needs to nail jjj dunc love to pine there just to unathletic.i dont mind seeing terry if he doesnt shoot at least he can guard or even pelle
uh who was guarding van halen tonight
Eddie was shredding. He told us to Beat It!
beat its michael jackson how bout jump
Van Halen played the lead in Beat It. Of course, also Jump, Panama, Hot For Teacher.
wow did not know that 30 panama hot for teach bball related?jump,how bout unchained(keshod)
Groundhog Day. Same story, same result game after game lately. But, respectfully, these losses don’t upset me because I feel very strongly about how important retaining the draft pick is. The fact that it would be a top 10 pick the way things are going makes it even more important. Having 2 first round picks, including one top 10, could really help get this team back on track
Yes, that is my hope too. I also have some hope that we can use some recovered salary to acquire someone, but it’s complicated because we have to offload some players and I wonder if any of the players we can live without have much trade value. So,yeah, like you, my best hopes for this team getting better are from the draft.
Are we the best three quarters team or not? 😬😥
no maybe the best 1st qtr team
We were up by 11 in the 3rd. And then I blinked.
this team with ware and davion and gsw jimmy would be a dangerous team
They took Wiggins out for Highsmith????
yeah also ware was out waaaay to long to
only guy i wouldnt trade is ware everybody else should be up for grabs
Been saying this as it’s probably the heat best approach to righting this ship.
Mitchell is a keeper. I know he can’t create on offense too much, although he does have some offensive ability, but he has some really strong skillsets, what a motor, and there is almost no better defensive player.
He is a lot of fun to watch, active and goes 100% all the time
like his skillset wish he was a tad taller but could be our starter.next year.need a jalen green two way athlete
Thank you! People have been weirdly dismissive of him and I really think it’s just because we’ve been losing. Like why would we not want to have him back next year?
And he’s the right age at 26, when players often are at their peak for the next 3-4 years.
played good for 3 qtrs.bam in 4th useless his whole career.ty gets locked down in 4th gets little tired
sad sad sad
tys worse game of year
tys d #1 reason 4 loss
He does nothing good but score sometimes and should’ve been off this team long ago
agree dont think u can win with him.when he got hurt few years ago right before playoffs we made our great run
Déjà vu all over again
I like the make up of the Rockets. This is a good model on how to come back from purgatory. And their coach is one of the better ones.
And wow,,what an athlete Amen Thompson is.
lots down years 30 for hou .its hard to watch bad bballlike hous has been .at least the heat are competitive lots drama nail biting games im cool with that,i got the panthers for jewelry
wig inconsistent rc little above average gsw really misses him
They actually did like him a lot over there, and he was a big part of helping them win the championship a couple years back
rc they were under 500 and then jimmy arrived
I wasn’t talking about this year
4th qtr bam
i dont want to tank or do i
I don’t want to tank at all, but I don’t mind seeing them trying hard and losing because I am placing a lot of weight on getting that lottery pick. Right now, it would be the #9 and that could really help this team in the future.
That pick could be our salvation.
tys been the worse player tonight not even close
Smart time out by Houston to break a little bit of Heat momentum
coach is a bad boy lost the celts job inappropraite behavior
play ware play ware mor emore
brooks such a dirty player
they need to put the extravagant dressed lady in winners circle rc
She is an opera singer
Is she? I thought she was a fashion designer
Radmila Lolly is not your typical sports fan. Born in Moscow, she developed a passion for opera at a young age, eventually establishing a successful career as an opera singer
wares been much better than bum tonight
He has had a very good game
needed to play more mins
thats athleticism rc we dont have that
does pat tell spobot to play the 19 mil man
There it is
start of 4th every game we get wiped out with these sht lineups
ball game rc spobots sht lineups.ware needs to play 40 mins with this size adams shengun tower over little bam
ty cant hang with thompson what a mismatch
dunc d at its best wtf is he doing
Go zen by repeating (maybe) only 12 more games
What are the odds that Houston has a double digit lead with four minutes to go at this game?
Oops, could be by the 6 1/2 minute mark
r u kreskin remember him
Wasn’t he the guy that used to make the spoons bend by rubbing them?
put ware in bams too small
mistake not having mitch on van halen all game
We are the new Groundhog Day fans
ty ware wig put there ars in dumbot
to to f u spobot what a sht lineup
to new lineupi
put ware in were too small
mitch wig ty bam ware need to play together at least 10 mins in 4th.we need a w spobot
why the f is dunc out there vs these athletes sposcratcher rc
He’s in there to keep your blood pressure up
im on blood press medicine as it is but sports dont raise blood press its just sports
Hard to know that from some of your comments that are so angry
mitchells super quick
steven adams strongest guy in nba
Starting to see Ware get comfortable. The Bam/Ware combo can be really good by next season.
does his best work with bam on bench
But they’re also learning to play very well together too
its our future better
ware adds 10 -15 lbs watch out next year
davion impressing
Hey now, a couple of games ago you were basically getting rid of him. Glad to see he’s out of your doghouse now.
yeah hes earned it you watching him ball out.defense offense ball handling total package
I’ve been in his corner since we got him
im there now
needed to start davion on van halen
look at these athletes wow strip city
10-0 run
