Yes which is why im so encouraged.   FO has basically drafted  4 SF types in last 2 drafts (ZW, Roddy, Jake Vince) and took fliers on 2 more ( Culver, Josh Jackson) and traded for another in Winslow.     They clearly are trying hard to resolve the issue.  

The SF position has been the issue for us across two different cores lol remember the Tayshaun Price/Jeff Green days?

Why are the nets wet?  Does the Toyota Center have a leak?

I'd say from Houston fans crying. Rockets have taken 76 shots tonight. 50 of them have resulted in a rebound for someone.

Yep but Tayshaun would be a Godsend for this team.    His skillset would be perfect with our Starters.   Frustrating that we are like 0 -8 so far on finding one.

Jesus Ziaire looks bad. Remember when he was a competent playoff rotational wing

[GrizzTigerFan 0]

Dang shouldve known Ziaire was gonna struggle after coming back from his injury.  He as gone back to wearing a tshirt.  SL Ziaire was confident enough to go without one.

We're running out of time to blow the lead but we're still working on it.

Got the win.  Had to have that one kicking off this road trip.  Hopefully Bane and Brooks can keep up this offensive production

Lordy… if Brooks can get back to shooting threes…the West will get interesting.

Dang Lakers are winning.

Good win against a bad team. I’ll take it for sure.

Ziaire is so cooked mentally. Awful body language.

Turns out not shooting bricks is an effective tactic to winning nba game

Hey, he was just as successful as Luke Kennard on one less shot in 15 minutes less playing time.

That is one way to look at it.

Gator arm Bane was team rebound king tonight with 9.

Got to say I was happy for Dillon.  4 of 8 from behind the arc.  We needed those 3s.  The first 2 for sure were needed in the first half.  He seemed to play under control and Pete remarked how hard he has been working with one of the assistant coaches before games during shootaround.  We all know his defense is needed.  But when he can hit 4 of 8 from 3 and get some of his midrange jumpers and some bunnies, he can be very valuable to the team. Thought he did well tonight.

Did Pete or Brevin say something about Des and gator arms? I have no idea what prompted all this.

Go to the previous page about fifth post or so.  RDK was responding to your query, I think.

Rockets could have the most losses in the league for 3 straight seasons. While just prior to that, there is a stat somewhere that Houston had the 2nd most wins of any franchise during Daryl Morey's tenure. 

And with all these top picks, they don't have much, imo. They are probably going to end up over-paying Jalen Green a year from now. #1 pick and scores 20 a game, but he's no max player. Sengun is good, but more of a 3rd guy. Jabari is a disappointment for a 3rd overall pick, the kind of guy you don't even notice much in a game and then are suprised he has 12 points and 6 boards. 

What a mess. If they suffer the trauma to get Wembenyama, then it's all good. Otherwise, time for the front office and coaching staff to change. Bad ownership doesn't help.

Maybe they should try to pay for one?

He was never a competent playoff wing. His stats are slightly worse than in regular season. The only reason his FG% isn't awful is because he gets a free oop or two per game, though now he's having trouble converting that.

Having said that, he looked awful tonight. Probably comes from playing in G league and expecting there to be zero resistance at the rim.
