Houston Rockets Heartbreaking Loss To Giannis & The Milwaukee Bucks: What Went Wrong?

49 comments

1. COMMENT: What emotion are you feeling after this Rocket loss?

2. They should have put Amen in Alpe spot on that last play. With his athleticism and finishing at the rim it could have been an alley oop

3. if I couch last seconds I took game Alpi Landele Adams I create caos under glass I never seen Ime try 2 centers in game WHY?

4. Lol this is why the Rockets need to make a trade for a veteran superstar…it will unlock their next step of playing cleaner basketball

5. Brainless performance from Alpi, he did everything so wrong, many people thought he got tired but this is not true, Udoka rested him the last quarter in the previous match like others. FVV's heroic performance didn't deserve to loose. All the team was on fire except Alpi.

6. Long story short , Rockets didnt deserve to win today. It happens. There are so many things if could have done differently regardless how bad we played , we could have another ugly win. That would be one of the ugliest of this season.
   Players side , Alpy's ball being blocked by yannis , Adams bad pass caused giving to ball to them , dillons wide open missing shoots , fouling 3pt shoot of DL etc. there are probably 20+ things we can talk about ugghh. Even thinking it hurts.
   Coach side, win or lose games still offense is terrible. Fred- Jalen even Reed keep shooting 3's recklessly. Get the ball shoot-miss. Again and again and until hit a 3. I really think ime should be mic'd every game so we can hear what he says on time outs. Some rotations man. Putting adams and jeff in while jalen fvv alpy was out? Who did you think will score meanwhile?
   We cant even talk about how bad (or lets say not effective) Dillon or bari played , bcos everyone else also played so bad. Anyways lets move on and and consider this match never happened.

7. Normal loss. The players are adopting to the new offensive system. We are still a bit unbalanced.

   PS: The last pass was overshoot.

8. I am really curious about one thing. When Bucks shot 3 open 3Ps back to back, Adams was standing in the paint alone while Reed defending the big guy next to Adams. What happened there?

9. Houston sucks generally at the very few last minutes or seconds since last year. I remember Jabari missed free shots and alpi as well. Jalen Green has not been doing much on clutch shots and brooks didnt do well last night unfortunately.

10. Madison explained extremely well what happened that pass from Fred. But there's no blame, don't forget the back to back and 39 minutes in legs

11. Even though we lost, I saw a sense of teamwork. In my opinion, this isn't a loss but a gain for the future.

12. Why would Alpy took 2 steps to the right when he was wide open beneath the basket? This is not NFL where you constantly need to assess the trajectory of the ball. It is easy to yap about the play after the game is done. It is just plain guys not being on the same page. If there is an issue on that play, it is an overshot pass but noone at fault here. This is a young Rockets teams and they will learn. You do not have find somebody to blame after every single game, yall. Houston fans are weird!

13. Throughout the game Alpi fought with Giannis and Lopez and got very tired and when he was out Milvaukee reduced the gap

14. The last ball that came to ALPİ fell behind, he could not get it, what could we do?

15. I don't understand why Tari was not in there closing! Dude had 15 rebounds! You don't think we could have used that late? And his D?

16. Closing seconds show the need for Tari and Amen to close games. Jabari and Dillon can start all the games they want and be given all the minutes in blowout games.

17. Madison comments are not right on the last position. Alpi actually pushes Yannis while he was also going to the other side but the ball comes to high over him onto the other side and can not catch it. Obviosuly a too high pass because Fred didnt expect Yannis going to the other side and passed the ball way too high. cant blame anyone really.

18. So sad to lose at last position. Great pass but unlucky result. 😢😢😢

19. RIGGED

20. Rogged.

21. on to the next one…

22. Just bounce back versus Indy. Bucks got lucky we just blew it. We should have protected the lead. Hope this makes them more cohesive. Go Rockets🚀

23. Never pull Tari for Brooks… They blew a 5 pt. lead with 3 minutes left. Tari was cookin them defensively.

24. Good game by the rockets everybody stepped up at different points of the game. Still think they need hierarchy. Haven't seen a team with no hierarchy win in the nba except for the 04 pistons.

25. I’m not blaming refs
    Rockets got to get some consistent reliable shooters via trade or this is going to be a recurring theme throughout the season

26. playoff = shoot.

27. Question. How come every time Sengun struggles, Sengun Stans want to make excuses for him. First when Grant Williams shut him down it was "Sengun struggles against small physical players" Then against Wemby "Sengun struggles against tall lengthy players" now they making excuses for him when lopez shut him down.. My point is if lopez shutting you down on offense, then why not shut him down on defense???? The truth of the matter is, Sengun is a good player not great, and he is shooting 45% from the paint on layups, abd this is our Big who dont shoot that many 3s… Why is your fg% so low shooting basically layups… lopez showed us why having a 3 and D center is really about. Having a plamaking center is overrated, i rather have a big who can stretch the floor and protect the paint. If im Stone, im packacking a deal around Sengun for Giannis

28. WTH is Madison on?? Freddy threw that thing up in the sky and it’s a lack of knowing your personal knowing ALP ain’t Wemby or Prime lebron catching those types of passes. Not his fault at all and it’s nonsensical and misplaced to place blame on ALP for that play.

29. The offensive hierarchy needs to be figured out. Dillon and Fred need to be kept in check, they take too many ill-advised shots

30. Very disappointed at Jabari.

31. “This sucks man” action Jackson … I feel you king

32. Klar ist ärgerlich am ende! Aber es passieren mal solche spiele. Wichtig ist das man an die serie vor diesem spiel wieder anknüpft. Weiter gehts 💪

33. Bucks fan here. Eason is a monster on d. Gg

34. Anger !!!

35. That was a HORRIBLE PASS by FVV .. The trajectory of the pass needed to be more towards the basket & in front of Sengun .. Sengun slightly overran the pass cuz even he expected it to be more towards the basket. I mean You can even make the argument that Sengun pushed off on the play & that's why he was wide open. But Man !!!, if FVV had just hesitated for a split second & not rushed the pass SMFH !!

36. I woke up still Angry over this game, SMFH !! .. (1) Dillon misses a wide open 3, then tries to play "Hero Ball" & bricks a mid range, (2) Sengun then tries to shoot a soft @ss push shot in the Lane, (3) FVV's bad pass cuz he rushed it, (4) and Jalen Green, Man, has to be the Closer for this team. At some point, Jalen has to look in the mirror & decide, "Am I 'Him' or Not ??" cuz if Jalen doesn't become the #1 Option for this team, I dunno what the Future holds cuz clearly Reed Sheppard ain't ready yet !! (and we got Cam Whitmore in street clothes chillin' on the bench)

37. Go Rockets!!!

38. should of could of would of seriously these things happens in games move on and get ready for the next game great game and go rockets

39. This is just one game. We are disappointed because the team is really good. This was an unlucky night and a good lesson for us.

40. "Lord have mercy" 😭😂😂

41. Sengun got panic

42. Still i couldnt able to get over the shock. But Houston is on the right way. Lose or win go Rockets 🚀

43. Just complete the WIDE OPEN play Sengun. Fred was obviously compensating thinking the Greek freak would contest the pass but he went the opposite way. If Sengun had nba level average athleticism he wouldve coralled the ball and won the game with the lay. Just make the wide open play, no excuses for Alperen

44. Go rockets!

45. If they called the out of bounds it would have just been shot clock violation.

46. Not too big of a deal, yes this hurts but we’re already way above expectations. Losses like this are bound to happen

47. Jalen still Inconsistent year 4

48. Segun not playing the same . He playing soft. just slam d ball!!!!!

49. We went toe to toe with a couple of HoFer's / a team geared to go for a championship. No fear. 1 point loss. Our offensive rebounds, wow! On a 7 game series, we win. This is a great sign. Great game. All positive here. I couldn't imagine us coming this close since the Harden era.
