Score was 66-43 with 6:28 left in the 3rd
With 6:49 left in the 4th it was 76-73

30-10 run and didn’t even really get hot from the field

udoka gotta have a short leash with Jalen next game. If he can’t contribute bench his ass

Vanvleet huff too but idk what the solution is
 
I'ma break character for a sec. I didn't see all the game but I did see most of the first and some of the second

Not sure how much Houston has played the Adams, segun, and Smith lineup but that might be something to explore at various points cause Adams was killing them on the boards in the minutes I watched

If Smith can keep them honest with the 3, that might open things up for sengun as well

You got a thing against Houston? It's funny to see the Rockets fans acting hopeful about the 1st round, while Dubs look at them as a stepping stone lol

Niggas lost game 1/home court as the 2 seed

Houston and Nola are in the same division so it's gonna be on site for the foreseeable future.

Can't afford to have Jalen and Fred at the same time killing us

More Tari and Bari....need to get Amen into some post up against Steph

None of this surprising though we've been surviving off great defense, transition buckets and offensive rebounding while severely struggling with our halfcourt offense all season

This is on Udoka too....he has to get creative and make some adjustments on that end, coaching has to evolve in the playoffs

Just one game though, we will shoot better
 
I don't think there's much to stress about.

I think it's likelier that the Rockets keep gsw under 100 than it is for everyone to shoot this bad every game. Granted it's a young team and it can happen, but I don't think it's cause for concern yet.

Just win the next game. The warriors will get worse as the series goes on so the Rockets need to make this into a long series so winning the next game is crucial

Think Reed or cam should get some burn? We need MFs who can knock down shots.

While in my mind I'm like why not, they can't do any worse than what Fred or Jalen are doing...but ultimately both of them fell out of the rotation with a lot of time left in the regular season, it would kind of be unfair to just throw them out there now and expect much

I think we're going to ride with these 8 guys and maybe Aaron Holiday if we get into foul trouble but he won't provide much if anything

Obviously we want to win but if we don't we need to make this as long of a series as possible and continue to collect data and evaluate....we might lose but we'll know exactly what moves to make this summer.....we just flat out need better offensive players and a better offensive scheme so we can generate easier system buckets

You should be more concerned with the likes of the Kings and Hornets....thats more of the Pelicans league, not 50 win playoff teams

I bet y'all have a similar path as the pelicans when they won 49 games and lost in 6 to Phoenix

Y'all been flying you close to the sun this whole year

I'm trying to get you ready for the let down brother

I understand as a fan you're an expert on let down and failure but please don't ever compare the Rockets to the Pelicans
