The loss the other day was comical

This one however pissed me off

I thought the Pringles/Harden offense was a tough watch but it’s poetry compared to this

I legit don’t like watching this team play

It’s been this way all year. I kept trying to tell yall that back in November, and yall kept callin me a hater. Their identity was freaking offensive rebounds!!! Than shyt been ugly too watch.


It wasn’t the kd offense, it was the Stephen Adams offense. We started playing like that in April last year and Ime decided to run with that identity. It was ugly offense. We saw in the postseason that it wasn’t going to win us games in May.

The first game against. OKC this year to start the season was one the most ugliest game of offense I’ve ever saw. Kd couldnt even get the ball inside the perimeter. The offense couldn’t even run a set. We basically jacked up shot at the end of the shot clock and depended on Stephen Adams to get us a second chance opportunity


I prefer the way we played last year when we were trying to generate a good look and move the ball around. Whenever e actually got out I transition for some way buckets. When Jalen, Dillon, Amen , and Sengun attacked the paint and kicked out to the open man. We actually won games like tonight all the time last year. Now I don’t expect us to to beat any good team this year if they’re healthy. We better stay out the play-in because it wouldn’t suppose me one bit if they lost out.

Stoney needs to take away roster/personnel control from Ime and build this team the right way. Put Amen back at the 3. Get rid of of these defensive mind players who shouldn’t be apart of a regular rotation.

No team in the 2020’s should be dependent on Stephan Adams and FVV to be competitive. That’s embarrassing to even be typing out :francis:

So it would be fair to say the rockets rebuild post harden has overall been a failure
No they fukked it up with the wrong coach. They needed a patient developmental coach after Silas. Ime jsut wanted to recreate the Celtics but we don’t have no fukking Brown/Tatum.
None of the core got better. They’re stagnating under Ime. Whitmore said it want the lack kd paying time that cost a rift between him and Ime. It was the lack of direction. That’s why he kept asking in interviews what’s my role, what’s my direction. Jalen said something similar in Phoenix about their being a clear playing concept.

Amen isn’t improving and everybody is ready to pivot from his pg experience except Ime. Tari looks depressed out there and his body language onthe bench is terrible. Him and some got into it last week badly and Tari was cussing back at him. Ime only started playing Reed

fukk the Spurs and fukk the Mavs but you see how their franchises are developing there top picks. Stephon castle, in particular, had clear flaws in his games that were glaring. Look at him now. Ime’s coaching and philosophy (if he has one) doesn’t protect his players from being f exposed. It exposes them and leaves them exposed. Castle has shown more growth and development in a year then Amen throughout his career.

I’m positive that Wemby and Castle wouldn’t the impactful players they are now if they got drafted by Houston and Ime. And Wemby is a generational player but he’s had a ton of development and coaching up. Mark my words.IME. WOULD’VE. fukkED. THAT. UP.

That’s why I said trade Amen or whoever tk get Giannis. None of these young core players are going to reach their potential ceiling with Ime. He has that role player mentality. Thats why he loves playing Okogie and Finna Miss. if we got the number pick sure, Ime would give him minutes to see what he can do but that player better reach out to other greats to get better Because Ime ain’t developing shyt. And if he can’t play defense, he’s not seeing the floor for most of the night. Ime didn’t even want to play Reed but had no choice because Ime's offense is so inept and he needs Reed spark on offense

Watched a lot of the Rockets this year, KD has looked completely uninterested the vast majority of the time. Guy should've just stayed in SF and told Draymond to STFU

One of my gripes about Durant is he never seems to be aggressive enough with his shot. Yes he shoots high %'s but sometimes you have to just say "I'm better than you and i'm going to bend this shyt to my will."

The KD we saw in that game 5 vs the Bucks is the one i want to see all the time.

Bullshyt. I doubt anyone has enough time to watch a team outside of their favorite and realize someone has been uninterested half the time.

Everyone is gonna pile on KD which is easy and lazy to do. When the real problem is

1. Ime and his lack of offensive identity strategy and development of young guys. Should have let Reed run PG and get his lumps in throughout the season so he'd be ready with the playoffs around the corner.

2. The GM for not getting a PG after the FVV injury

Reed isn’t a PG. He’s your Seth Curry.
