Boy Jalen Green is dumb. He makes Kelly Oubre look smart.

I love this team. Great win on the road without Embiid even if Houston was short handed tonight.

team is still missing something that I can't pinpoint but the vibes are good rn and I'll take that considering I was questioning if I even would watch this team going into the season lol.

I've never said a negative word about the Morris brothers.

Huge win, they are a playoff team right now and to beat them on the road without Jojo is big for this team as we never know when Jojo might be out for a bit. We need the confidence a game like this gives us.

I really thought this game was an important win, even though on the surface its not. Just need that confidence to win regardless of circumstances.

Lol exactly.

The team needs an upgrade or two. Where and what? I don't know, but it just does.

I badmouth 'em left and right, and have generally wanted Marcus playing no minutes if possible, but that guy sure did pull the bacon out of the fire tonight.

So we're winning without Embiid and that's a good thing. It's a testament to both our coaching and the talent we have on this team.
We straight up stole this one from them tonight, but a win is a win. We've beaten two playoff teams in a row without Embiid. I realize those teams were shorthanded too, but it at least evened the odds when we played them. Go find a way to beat Chicago now and get that one that we lost from them back.

A true backup center is one thing. Reed is not a center-- or to be more specific, there are a lot of guys he can't guard.

Reggie Bullock plays for Houston? Lol. Forgot all about that. Went from playing 30 mins a night in Dallas to DNPs in Houston. And Dillon Brooks was out. Still no minutes for him. He might want to negotiate another buy out lol

I'm at a loss as to why Jalen Green made the pass to Landale with time running out. It made no sense whatsoever to do that. Even if Landale had made the shot, it would have left about three seconds left on the clock after Houston fouled. I just don't know why he didn't just rise up and shoot the basketball. He had the angle, I thought for sure that was what he was going to do. I mean it's Jalen Green...The kid has God given talent, but he's got a long way to go before his basketball IQ catches up. We'd be in overtime right now if it weren't for him being stupid because I fully believe he would have hit that shot based off of the angle, the momentum and the shorter defender on him.
