TF: Shut up and listen--Rockets Immediate Action Plan

5 stars for the title... but I suspect things are going just as planned for Stone. Silas has commanded the tank admirably, wittingly or not.

It's frustrating I know, but keep your eye on the prize...

 

Yall smoking too much if you think any amount of change this year will make us a good team, this year.

 

Stone is crushing the draft; so let’s not mess with that.

 

The great thing about the OP’s recs, they are all necessary and yet still compatible with the tank. Lucas and TyTy are not gonna fundamentally alter the tank, but they will better the team. Same with moving EG. He doesn’t want to be here and I’m tired of watching him hobble towards the rim in an attempt to draw cheap fouls. His game is now about tripping over himself and parking lot shots.

 

TyTy is not that dude, so please stop dreaming lol. He doesn’t put enough pressure on the defense and can’t shoot right now.

 

It’s hard to disagree with this. I’m sick of them constantly losing with basically no improvements. There needs to be change. They’re getting stagnant.

 

How does John Lucas change anything dude runs his stuff behind the scenes right now and it aint working

 

No guys if we just fire Silas it will make the Worst Young Core in the NBA= good

 

So the plan is to fire the coach, make the starting lineup worse and the bench unit better?

How would this be any better than simply waiting till the end of the season to fire Silas and keeping the best players starting (after dumping EG obviously)?

 

When he managed to take 3 on 1 break in the 1st half and instead of passing, get a bailout foul and then miss 1 FT i knew he's a perfect fit for this team

 

talent infusion is never solution to being a bad team...everybody is talented in nba...its the coaching or management of talent that transforms bad teams into good ones...

 

your steps are being too specific altho i agree with mayority of them, i would rather they define general principles behind these decisions and work to implement them...

replacing silas or stone with another bb moron/ bot that will repeat the same ole dumb mistakes, perhaps just of another variety, is not the solution....

 

Exactly, that's great and you're missing the OPs point!

 

I get the whole tank stuff and all but as a fan of the team im tired of them constantly loosing.

 

tanking never works, just look at 76ers

if the counter argument is but they were never allowed to finish the proces then that's exactly my point...

at some point silver will intervene and youll be worse off than with legit rebuilding

 

He sucks lol

 

When it comes to the HC, I just don't see a point in firing him right now since Lucas isn't a serious candidate for the next HC anyway. So where I'm at is that I don't see a difference one way or the other. So if you want to do it, fine, I just wouldn't expect it to change anything. Certainly not until next season when they bring in a real coach.

As to the lineup, sure Tyty is more of a traditional PG in that he lacks the skill to be a combo guard....and he "takes care of the ball" better in that he doesn't really even attempt to do much....but you need someone on the team who is capable of actually creating for others and Tyty doesn't really do that either.

You'd basically be taking the best guard on the roster and bringing them off the bench just to do it. It would be similar to suggesting we bench Green for Mathews because shooting guards need to be able to shoot and Green's 32% from 3 isn't acceptable. While you could say that and technically everything about it would be accurate, it still wouldn't be an argument that would convince anyone because obviously there's more to it than that. Your argument for Tyty over KPJ is essentially the same thing.

I think it's best if we use the rest of the season to see if Tyty can become even a backup quality PG, he's shown he's better than Nix....but he still hasn't shown that he's a quality backup PG just yet.

As to KPJ being the "leader/face of the team....this team doesn't have one. No one on this team has earned the "franchise" role. It sounds a lot like you want a player benched because you are afraid they are upstaging others by outperforming them.....and that's just weird.
