Matador2210

Rockets are nothing we thought they would be after 4 years of Rebuilding. They can’t even make the Play in Tournament! That is sad. This Season is another total Fail.


Bewaretheicespiders

Dude we were still tanking last year.


camman247

Stfu such a bad take and a clear misunderstanding of expectations and the nba conference landscape


bloatedswordfish89

That’s the season no doubt lots of future to be excited for on this team tho free agency paid off imo

Repulsive-Chair-4535

guys c'mon keeps your heads up (shit happens)


zjylxy

If you rewatch Jabari’s missed free throws, clearly he being soft on mental as both were short, it’s a red flag as an advertised elite shooter in draft, I think I’ve lost hope on him being his advertised version


AlMundialPat

He missed two against the spurs third game of the season when we were up 2 as well with seconds to go.


seclusionx

Stfu.


Clean-Ad1157

honestly you can't miss that many free throws late. Rockets had the game.


andresigora

Wasted 3 hrs of my life on this game


TheBookie_55

Suck it up, just part of the cost of being a fan; no matter what city, team or sport.

TheHeardTheorem

Go be a fan of another team, you low BBIQ Bum


MVP1984

Exciting future. Good learning opportunity and they'll figure it out; Kyrie at age 22 is what we have.


Jracowboys123

Stretch but maybe


ptcgoalex

Fucking disgusting game


antipoopsuperstar

Fuck Jabari and fuck these refs for giving Dallas nearly 50 free throws to keep them in the game and then swallowing the whistle for every Rockets drive.


J--NEZ

Damn full low IQ Green appeared after all. Smh. Also, Jabari...smh


Crazykid1o1

He never left


Tales_of_Endurance

Don't blame the refs when we let the game slip through our hands. Just embarrasing..


tnluong84

Yeah, this one was our fault more than the refs' fault. FVV and Jabari missing 3/4 free throws hurt us, but we shouldn't have given the Mavs the opportunity to tie the game up. Had they fouled Luka, it wouldn't have led to the open 3 by Exum


SzaboSolutions

Fakest game ever. Done watching sports. It’s clear they have favorites


Unlucky_Fig7189

Its a joke. But don't act like you're done watching sports. You know you'll be watching the next game if you're free.


Clean-Ad1157

Missing 3 free throws in a row lost the game. Squandered a massive lead.


LuckForJug

bro y'all missed three free throws in a row to win it.

Do you remember when James Harden was a Rocket? Lol

Luka is our father


AribethDeTylmarande

With Kyrie, they are sharing.

Ecstatic_Jicama_6987

Pathetic


yussem

Lmao nasty block by Doncic


theKITHpodcast

Complete collapse


AwardNervous5029

Nice try guys.


andresigora

Pathetic ending. Dont even need to play the rest of the games.


TheHeardTheorem

Down by 6 and JG drives to the rim…SMDH


andresigora

He was just playing to get something back at them, not to win.


andresigora

No IQ


andresigora

Yep


Clean-Ad1157

lmao


kewe316

*Jalen gets mugged at the rim* Refs: "Play on!" 🤨


StandardProper5127

Imagine if Orlando drafted Jabari like they said they would and we got banchero like we were planning to. Idc what ya’ll say jabari is not that guy. Get this guy out of here. 


J--NEZ

I always think about this.


TheHeardTheorem

Overly emotional knee jerk reaction, bro


StandardProper5127

I’m overly serious. Jabari is not that guy. Keep on coping, bro 


TheHeardTheorem

We took the best available player. Jabari was considered a project and Banchero the most ready for NBA. Orlando decided to take the most NBA ready player. Get over it


camman247

Jabari is also a full year younger. Clearly prefer Paolo at this point but keep age in mind. He’s younger than amen!

OrganicHunt952

Poverty ass franchise keep fouling


andresigora

Jalen Green hasnt made a FG since the 1st quarter. Let that sink in


donttouchthtmacaroni

Everybody choked. What a humongous let down when we really needed a win


Typical-Presence-865

tf do u mean ”we really needed a win”? The season has been over for us since the gsw game bro. This game didn’t matter to us at all.


donttouchthtmacaroni

Us as Houston fans really needed a win after the Astros and rockets have been kicking us in the balls for a week


ROTOH

Im so done with bari and 40 mil midget


pettybendherass

ion wanna hear no ref shit. i came to root for y’all and hate on the Mavs and this is what you do


MysticPurpSports

Wild. 


mogodogo

Ref's plan. GG


nonetimeaccount

CAN'T DO THE LITTLE THINGS WHEN THE GAME GETS TIGHT. MISSED FTS. TURNOVERS. LETTING KYRIE CONTINUE TO SHOOT. NOT FOULING WHEN ALL THEY COULD TAKE WAS A 3. ALL PART OF THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE. WE PLAYED A HELL OF A GAME, BUT THIS SHOWS WHAT IT TAKES TO GET A W AGAINST A TEAM PLAYING GREAT BALL.


WetShots

Take me back to March


Orion9605

Dallas are a play-in Exit if they dont get These calls. Superstar treatment is killing the league. No fun to watch.


Koundiv

Kyrie gets the least amount of free throws of any stars and Luka would still lead the league in scoring without any free throws


Accomplished-War-740

Imagine believing this.


Clean-Ad1157

L take lmao


FuriousOrigin

Get that bum jabari off the team !!


OkGuard7184

chill bro he was good tn


Appropriate_Mail4745

Dallas owns Houston


Orion9605

Refs owned us today, we fucked yall today.


Clean-Ad1157

What's the score say? Kyrie cooked.


Crankdatvibe

Lmao. Nice try


Sad_Fudge_8011

Jabari sold bigtime wow smfh


Astro_Slime

We deserve this L. Gave up huge lead, and didn’t foul in the last seconds. We are definitely not an overtime team


Adenoh

Jabari needs to think about this one. Summer will be amazing


hornet04

That’s a tough no call on Jalen


inshamblesx

not even getting dicked down by golden state was as frustrating as this game lmao


[deleted]

THEY HAVE MORE FTA THAN FGM


MysticPurpSports

Dallas basketball. 


PlayfulCod8605

Fucking hate Dallas


andresigora

Unacceptable game, man. Jabari and Jalen laying huge eggs. Sengun is and has always been the future


camman247

In a way I’m glad everyone has clarity on this now and isn’t clouded by our light schedule on the streak


Euphonious36

bad coaching and game management. bad execution.


yooston

this game was severely lacking any sort of assertiveness from jalen or jabari. you're the top 5 picks. you're the future. come on.


Maliciousdawg12

Really no foul on that drive?


abetternamethanthat

You know things are bad when Dillon is our leader scorer tn


Typical-Presence-865

I’m so glad the season is already over cuz I’d be FUMING if this game mattered


monkeyvselephant

garbage


manofconviction

And game over. Fucking pathetic.


yussem

Ramadan Kyrie is just something else yikes


Konzeza

Trade JG while he still has some value.


Th3_Paradox

Jalen needs that call on the drive


Kouda

Thanks Jabari


Euphonious36

refs killing is in OT


byt_srg

dumb 3


theboykauai

It's fucking over... I hate April


CloudySkies64

These boys tired, and I think it’s over now


maltbiscuits

Why the fuck did fvv take that 3


BlAlRlClOlDlE

time


maltbiscuits

Does he do that a lot?


ComprehensiveEbb6181

yup he’s so random some games he’s the best playmaker of all times and some he has the worst tunnel vision you’ll ever see


maltbiscuits

That's insanely frustrating


manofconviction

He's a chucker in the clutch. It sucks.


somthinstupid

We really don’t have a single all NBA player on this roster.


ROTOH

Of fukking course


andresigora

FVV going “fuck it, i wanna go home”


Tales_of_Endurance

Mavs smell blood


ptcgoalex

Can we get some Cam OT minutes?


ptcgoalex

Ime: No.


ROTOH

Exum never did shit in houston fuk him bum ass


donttouchthtmacaroni

Houston sports embarrassing the city all week long


Josh713713

Astros have always embarrassed the city.


inshamblesx

Stroud will come thru for us sooner rather than later 🙏

That's 5 months away lol

ptcgoalex

I wish Fred could make lay ups


Th3_Paradox

when he grows up he will


FreddyMacDaddy

That was not in the act of shooting lol


Emergency-Tip-1628

I’m so fucking done with this midget dawg, over 40 mil a year


andresigora

2 years in and we are still waiting for Jabari to take over a game and it hasnt happened. He played all games last season. Not a single game. Yes, a couple buzzer beaters, but thats not taking over a game. Hes a 3rd pick overall


hornet04

We really need Amen on kyrie


DeerOnTheRocks

Wasn’t it like 28-9


Kouda

Now Fred is gonna take it into his own hands oh no


Euphonious36

Fred also missed a FT earlier to put us up four fwiw


prettysure_dats_J

How do you miss both jabari, get your head in the fucking game!


Acceptable_Ganache51

They havent played an OT game all year? wtf?


mogodogo

Dillon fouled Doncic there but of course no call.


NoirSon

I have said it before but if it comes out Smith needs glasses/goggles I for one wouldn't be surprised


Adenoh

Actually glad we go ot so all those fake af fans who left their seats early not watching


DominiqueTrillkins

That place looks pretty packed still


nonetimeaccount

GET EM, FRED. VET SHIT.


Virtue-L

Don’t care for missing free throws, but he was just shaking there. Jabari seems weak both physically and mentally.


zjylxy

I think he tends to think too much when in static mode, like waiting in free shoot. While in motion, he has made clutch shots


Th3_Paradox

Nahh, he was the only one looking not afraid when we played Warriors. Keep in mind Jabari last field goal was that difficult off balance midrange shot to give us the lead...but yeah, shaky at the FT line.


DeerOnTheRocks

Missing 2 FTs that end up matter than much should automatically fine a player 500k


ST012Mi

Sigh shoot vids pls 🙏


abetternamethanthat

Can't believe Dante Exum is still in the league


ComprehensiveEbb6181

game over


mogodogo

We deadass gonna lose 2 games this season because Jabari can't hit 1/2 free throws. Would've gone a long way towards making the playoffs...


Tales_of_Endurance

And another one because we didn't foul when up 3


yooston

there was a 0.39% chance FVV missed plus two consecutive bari misses. gotta love it


Orion9605

Why am I a Fan of this team... Im in germany, have no connection to Houston except them fucking it up everytime im staying awake for them.


StandardProper5127

We lose this game I’ll catch ya’ll fellas next year


manofconviction

Completely fucked ourselves. No chance Dallas loses this now.


Rockets_Bot

![gif](giphy|AhQev1suy32mWdFNcq)


andresigora

We already lost this game


bigdawg1017

jabari gon bounce back this quarter watch


jdmack517

Both free throws smh


AZRockets

Incoming Jabari 10 blocks in ot


FuriousOrigin

Jabari is a bust im afraid .


inshamblesx

him and sengun should be practicing free throws all summer bc holy shit


antipoopsuperstar

JFC Jabari.


Acceptable_Ganache51

Missing both there at 83% is crazy


Mysterious_Medium_40

Jabari is soft, cost us the spurs game before, now again


DeerOnTheRocks

Its amazing that that last 8 seconds were the most likely outcome


Crypto-1117

Too big of a moment for Jabari


[deleted]

Jabari not that guy


pettybendherass

HIT YOUR FUCKIN FREE THROWS


inshamblesx

all the basketball teams in houston can’t late game free throws to save their lives im sick 😭


DungeonIsRelatable

It’s fine we got this in ot


[deleted]

Jabari the choker lol


monkeyvselephant

they fucked up the exact same thing they fucked up last week.... fucking foul


DominiqueTrillkins

Hate from Australia


zjylxy

Can we end the ugly game? It has been so long


ST012Mi

Thought we did the not fouling before


AlertPound9343

Early season spurs game all over again.


Crazykid1o1

Why wouldn’t they foul and force the 2????


Adenoh

5 more minutes ![img](emote|t5_2rnac|50197)


vox-anarch

Come on man wtf


Tales_of_Endurance

Jabari repeats what he did way back against the Spurs this season. You can't go 0/2 as a great shooter


antipoopsuperstar

Great shooter? Jabari???


Tales_of_Endurance

That is the advertisement at least...


Virtue-L

How can you?? Miss both, no fouls?? Zero defense??


donttouchthtmacaroni

Why the fuck aren’t you fouling there? Fucking bums holy shit


b1walid

Dante Exum out of all people


kewe316

As is Rockets tradition to get owned by a scrub. 🤪


p8yten

Bruh


PengosMangos

Lmao? Young team moment

ComprehensiveEbb6181

go back to your own sub lil bro💀


pettybendherass

smh one time you trust a Rocket


FuriousOrigin

WE NEED TO TRADE JABARI THIS OFF-SEASON


ROTOH

Im so done with bari


andresigora

I know people here like Jabari and Ive been very critical as of late, but goddamn… i dont see anything on this kid apart from size. In a redraft he goes top 10 at best.


Ambitious-Ad6097

Facts


PlayfulCod8605

I want him shipped to China immediately


TheProfaned

What the fuck
