    How can it be March, and we have lost so many games by not changing tactics when they blitz Durant?

    HOW ****ING STUPID is our coach?

    How stubborn do you have to be to watch us blow lead after lead with a simple trap on KD, how many fumbled balls, poor decisions, bad passes do you have to see from a 37 year old aging player before you try someone else?

    How can it be MARCH and we are doing the same dumbass ****????????????

    WTF are you doing STONE - you are the GM - sit IME down and show him a Jr. High playbook where a player flashes to the high post with cutters on the baseline?

    And someone for the LOVE OF GOD, tell KD he is 7' tall and you don't need to bounce pass over guys 6'5" tall just throw it above their head.

    Just flabbergasted that the same way we lost earlier to New Orleans, Sacramento, Golden State, Utah etc.....is still happening today.

    If Ime is REALLY this incompetent, and I think he is......how many times will Tillman watch these collapses before even he has had enough?

    It is the IDES of MARCH - and the emperor has no clothes.

    Et tu Ime?

    How many threads are you going to open to say the same thing? We get it, you don't think Ime is a competent coach. You don't need to open yet another thread to say the same thing you said in literally every comment for months.

    At this point you mind as well create a bot that regurgitates the same points over and over for you based on the previous night's game results so you can take a break from being so "pissed".

    ....or have you done that already?

    I dunno, maybe one more.

    Look, I am just shocked that it is March, and we still do the same stupid thing.

    The definition of Insanity is trying to do the same thing and expecting a different result, right?

    Hello Ime !

    DD

    PS. I don't start all that many threads, but last night - just really pissed me off.

    Anyone who is expecting ime to be more than a nonfactor at best is delusional at this point

    regardless of the coach, you will rarely see an offense look good without competent PG play which we simply don’t have

    even Mike D’Antoni was cooked without a PG

    Insanity - "Watching something over and over and expecting a different result"..

    I envision that coaching philosophies are hard to adjust on the fly.. Especially when so much time, effort, and energy are put into it over an offseason.. These coaches tend to sink or swim with their philosophies.. But IMO, in- game situational adjustments shouldn't be this damn hard to figure out when you have capable professionals... Either it's harder than I think or these coaches would rather live with results regardless.

    I’m actually not pissed


    Adjusted expectations a while back.

    this isn’t surprising to say the least

    Regardless of the coach and/or the PG, you will rarely see an offense look good without a good looking offense.

    There is no way it is hard, we literally implemented new stuff after every game when I coached - and players adapted.

    This is just dumb.

    You can easily adapt to what teams are doing on the blitz, would literally take 15 minutes to implement...at the most.

    I'm going to be pissed if we make it out of the first round after reading so many "easy first round exit" posts....


    ...ahhh - who am I kidding? We are definitely out in the 1st round and KD will say this loss is "on him".

    bro we are a play-in team in the west. Despite the current fraudulent record, that’s what we are this yr. We will finish 6th or 7th.

    Bad roster construction, bad coaching, and a little bit of bad luck all catching up to us.

    It’s like the coach and GM are doing this on purpose.

    Ya'll gotta disassociate yourselves this season. It's too hard to watch if you don't

    Here we go...Jesus .

    You have a youth movement with a proven GOAT. It's a difficult combination to mesh with in one season. And yet, despite the very bad crash outs, we're in the thick if it.

    The regular season doesn't mean anything. As rockets fans, we know that in the most painful of ways.

    While inconsistent , our guys have shown that they can beat the best teams. I'm not saying we're going to the WCF, but we're winning a series this year.

    Unless there is a hiccup in healing, Fred is coming back because he wants a chance to play with KD and his boy Reed. Fred is one of our main locker room leaders and he's part of the good , the bad, and the ugly.

    What needs to be reconsidered is the x-factor on our team. It has always been Jabari. He is going to get better and better, and regardless of his decisions, he is great for this team.

    Other than that, I hope Stone grabs a big and gives a look at Cole World in the event FVV can't come back (I keep hearing first week of April though)

    Love y'all.
