Lol if you omit Amen's tip in the other night this would be the most comical and poorly coached team of all time potentially This mother****er still can't draw an inbound play
I gotta say, at least when James Harden went into drunk mode, it was usually during the playoffs. Durant, damn, he's been doing it all season. It's rough. This season has sucked. As an organization it feels like we have no hope either because we have a stubborn coach that isn't going to get fired and a lawyer that can't seem to figure out how to properly build a team. The fact that they never even tried to bring in a point guard is even worse. This season sucks despite having a winning record.
How. Do. You. Let. Them. Go. On. A. 15. To. 0. Run. In. Overtime. You had the game on a silver platter. This is on the coach. He’s gotta go. This is inexcusable.
We get to a point where we think we have won a game and just turn off. Alpy is prime suspect. Just stops trying, and starts posting up outside the 3point line. What gives? Nobody could stop him, just go get position and score the ball.
When the Rockets started running clock (which, as usual, precipitated their crash on offense), I wanted them to lose because I want Ime fired ASAP. It won't happen and he'll be back, but he needs to be put in a 500 °F furnace.
My favorite moment was Ime standing at half court like an idiot watching Alpi about to commit an 8 second violation and just letting it happen despite knowing the damn momentum was slipping. He hates using timeouts. I still can't believe this team has been unable to run a successful inbounds play all year long. How is it possible that they can't do it?
It looks like the rockets are collapsing in close games but it's more like the opposing team isn't playing as hard as possible until the end of games. The rockets don't really have good enough spacing or an elite playmaker to consistently get good looks against a locked in defense. That's really it. When we win it's just because we got up enough early that the other team folded or the other team just never tried defensively.
Let’s call a spade a spade. The Rockets role players/bench are just not good enough. Eason has regressed. Not sure why but he gives very little on offense. Shooting has disappeared and a lot of silly plays like throwing up wild shots at the rim. Sheppard is a developmental player who makes so many mistakes on both ends each game. His shooting has been overhyped and has been inconsistent most of the year. DFS well we all know the story here. Just not good enough. If they spend so much time developing Sheppard and letting Eason and DFS work through their struggles why not give JD, Tate, Holliday more time instead? It’s been a very frustrating year for this team stemming from a stupid trade that wrecked the roster’s chemistry and level of play. The level of play this year is nowhere near where they were last year. The intensity isn’t there. The edge isn’t there. The aura is missing.
i dunno. The sengun backcourt violation was stupid. The 3 pt play by slo mo was stupid. The Sheppard no defense on divecenzo cut was stupid. The turnover with amen diving out of bounds was dumb. And letting Randle hit that paint jumper last seconds was stupid. All preventable
