    It’s a franchise that holds nobody accountable….from ownership, to the lawyer/gm, to the coach, to the players. Tari Eason can average 5 points a game since the deadline and continue to be the dumbest player in the NBA and have a secure starting job. Stone/Udoka put together this all defense roster that can’t hit an outside shot but for KD and Reed….they are sent out together after yet another trade deadline of zero help and play the fans as fools. Rockets ownership clearly doesn’t care, so why should we???

    It's actually hilarious people blame the players before placing a whole heap of that blame right on the coaches doorstep.

    The guy who doesn't know an adjustment to save his life.

    The guy who literally gameplans for his players to be exposed to their weaknesses for 99% of the game (the entire sports world kind of does the opposite to this, strange how the Rockets employ the one guy who bucks that trend).

    The guy who watched a rookie literally dominate defensively and cause legitimate superstars to fear him picking them up..... into a nobody on defense for 7 of every 8 games in his second year.

    The guy who literally stunted - every - single - one - of - his - young - players.

    And then have the audacity to complain about a C's rebounds when he's literally defending on the perimeter just as much as the guards hahahaha.

    One day I hope they actually begin to piece two and two together and develop some semblance of an idea of what they watch on the basketball court. Clutchfans would be a much better place.

    I was doped into believing the lineup flexibility crap. It’s nothing but. Pure lineup rigidity, unimaginativeness, incompatibility and inconsistency.

    A lot of people have paraded Udoker-ball around so much while Mazzulla-ball was winning.....

    I stand by MAZZULLA. Dude is even younger and more of a genius.

    Not calling for his head BUT I’m getting impatient.

    How as a coach can you not figure out how to counteract when they double KD?

    Mind boggling.

    Ime is hurting this team.

    He has cost the team at least 10 wins with his inability to counter a simple Jr. High level double team at the top of the key.

    All the Ime apologists will be out in force tomorrow. If this game didn’t convince guys what a bonehead he is, nothing will.

    Where is Tito? Where is the cowardly Houston media? Why should Tito eat an extension when the bucks keep rolling in? I’ve watched or listened to 99% of Rockets game since 1987, even after moving to Tennessee 7 years ago. If the Rockets just run it back next year, I’ll just save my money and watch the national games and box scores. The fans need to start chanting “fire Ime”, “fire Stone” chants every game.

    They may not even be first round fodder. We'll be play-in fodder at best. Right now, OKC, San Antonio, Denver, LA Lakers, Minnesota, and Phoenix all seem like solid bets to be better than us if nothing changes. If Butler is healthy next year, Golden State could improve. Portland is getting better. New Orleans could be good if they can stay healthy. Hell, even the Clippers have gotten it together after that disastrous start. If that momentum carries over into next season, they could win 45-50 games.

    Legit might be the worst offensive coach in the league right now.

    Last night was a masterclass in how to not play basketball. The entire franchise doesn't know fundamentals you learn in youth ball. The film from the 2nd half should be a laughing stock for other coaches and guarantees a first round loss in 5 games. This was against a bottom 10 defense.

    It should be a fireable game. Just shocking to anyone who knows what they are watching. Insulting to any athlete's intelligence and pride. GTFO.

    No offense to Chuck Hayes or Ryan Bowen, but imagine if Ime had to work with those two on this team...we'd be lucky to score 60 points for the game. Can't believe I'm saying this, but JVG was a better offensive coach than Ime. This is f***ing sad
