@e2j4s79 @MrOptimisticHou The “young team” went 3-2 against a bad lakers team without their best player and their 2nd best player only playing in 2/5. Even w JG they’re winning another game.

@MrOptimisticHou I said that before the season! I was never on board with that trade. I was forced to accept it! Let a young team grow!
English
I know this an unpopular opinion but I think we get further this season with JG and Dillon Brooks

Meanwhile, you’d have to pay Tari Eason to come back, and likely do some pricy extension with Amen Thompson. All to throw them back into some non-KD, “low stakes” petri dish with a new coach to “find out what you have”. All due respect, this is a fucking TERRIBLE suggestion.

If I were running the Rockets, I’d change coaches and trade Kevin Durant. Get contending out of your mind next year. This culture needs a reset, and you have to find out what you really have with the young guys. Spend next year evaluating the core in a lower-stakes environment.

@AdamSpolane lol the Owner’s kid ain’t getting fired so I think the buck stops w the GM
English
The building of the roster was not done by one man unilaterally
jackson 🚀@rocketsjack10
@AdamSpolane Ime has his struggles but when will the man who built this flawed roster get some criticism
English
@AdamSpolane @NateDuncanNBA Hopefully there will be more media than just Jackson asking tough questions
English
@BohemianHTX @NateDuncanNBA I imagine Rafael will speak on Monday or Tuesday
English
The Rockets have not held media availability for players after the season the last few years, so I'll be interested to see if they make Kevin Durant available tonight
English
@RayOnHoops @RooshWilliams I agree.. but all those players are the kind Ime wants. Defense, hard nosed grind ‘em out guys.
English
@BohemianHTX @RooshWilliams I think his offence would be better with players that can actually dribble and shoot the ball. It comes down to stone and the injuries. Tate holiday Clint green DFS all need to be gone after this season. Okogie stays on the minimum
English
@JeremyIKaufman He’s got an OPS+ of 95 and is batting .219. By definition, he’s below avg. Hardly something to be upset about
English
Astros just wasting 2 years of Cam Smith’s service time should be talked about way more. It’s insane.
English
@StephStradley @74Astros @MrColeThompson @LiveSCS lol ok.. everyone is different. But… media types have a pretty significant commonality. They get paid to talk/cover the teams they’re talking about. That’s not a diss, but a real descriptive difference from fans.
English
@74Astros @MrColeThompson @BohemianHTX @LiveSCS Yeah. Because I know pretty much all the media members in town. They are all individuals. With different backgrounds. Just like fans.
“Media types” as a way to talk about all media is usually kinda fake talk to me. NBD

“You can’t be a dumber Astros fan on Twitter, than saying Fire Joe Espada”
-Matt Thomas on 790
Thoughts?
English
@RayOnHoops @RooshWilliams I think you’re right, however, do you trust Ime to build an offense to maximize the strengths of either?
English
@RooshWilliams Tough questions moving forward. Think the fan base knows amen and Sengun just don’t fit together. The choice is the front offices
English
@phins_aggies @Bjpittmanjr12 @RedNinetyFour Def possible. But I think we’re all naive if we think we’re a healthy FVV away from a finals appearance
English
@Bjpittmanjr12 @RedNinetyFour @BohemianHTX I think everyone will get 1 more year with a healthy FVV to see how it plays out
English
This is kind of worst case scenario. Got my hopes up only to get crushed. At least the sweep might’ve given an outside chance at Ime/Stone getting canned but we won’t even have that.
English
@StrawhatZack_ @RedNinetyFour @Bjpittmanjr12 I’m not in the room, so idk who’s responsible for it, but accountability has to happen. I think both leaving would be a Rockets gain
English
@BohemianHTX @RedNinetyFour @Bjpittmanjr12 Udoka handpicked roster. They both need to go then. Udoka didn’t want harden and handpicked DFS
English
@RayOnHoops @RedNinetyFour One would think you would run Reed off off ball screens instead of having him shoot over the switched big man, but… here we are
English
@BohemianHTX @RedNinetyFour I’d rather let Reed attack off screens rather then just the same play every possession of passing the ball to Sengun at the top of the key
English
@grawlsy @RedNinetyFour I get it.. but it wasn’t like a route.. it was close all game. Lebron, Smart and Kennard beat your “future” that’s been in the league for ~4 years
English
@BohemianHTX @RedNinetyFour yeah i obviously meant the first 47.5 minutes of that game
English
@RedNinetyFour @Bjpittmanjr12 I look at the full body. He’s been GM for 5 full seasons. During that time you tanked. And the extent of your success is a game 7 L against the 7 seed. At the end of the day, that’s on him. Ime not having an offense is diff but also worthy of firing imo
English
@BohemianHTX @Bjpittmanjr12 I think his argument is that it’s only flawed because he didn’t see any point in upgrading it (which is WILD in and of itself) but it’ll save him
English
@RayOnHoops @RedNinetyFour Reed is flawed, no question. But he barely played games 1&2. Ime out there running Tate. The problem is there isn’t an offense. Not that they aren’t hitting. No sets. Just PnP from 10 ft beyond the 3p line. No movement
English
@BohemianHTX @RedNinetyFour I’m a big Ime hater but it comes down to the roster he’s given. If Reed/amen can’t get it going your praying on Holiday Okogie Eason finney smith to give u something t
English
@grawlsy @RedNinetyFour Game 3 was one of the worst endings in NBA history. Teams were like 1700-1 when up 6 w the ball and 30 seconds left
English
@RedNinetyFour imo games 3-5 showed what this team could be if it didn’t have $100 million in dead money on the roster right now
English
@RedNinetyFour @Bjpittmanjr12 How is it 0 chance? The roster is beyond flawed. You might be right, but that would really be wild.
English
@LiveSCS @StephStradley @MrColeThompson @SportsMT @SportsRV Sometimes we forget fan is short for fanatic lol
English
@StephStradley @BohemianHTX @MrColeThompson @SportsMT @SportsRV Yeah but diehards are a little crazy, I don’t really care how nice you are if my team is killing me to watch
English
@StephStradley @MrColeThompson @LiveSCS @CameronSebek @SportsMT @SportsRV This is fair. But these jobs are extremely high paying, high visibility with high performance expectations. All the people discussed are probably amazing humans. But when the bar is a championship and it’s easily measurable, you cant overlook mediocrity.
English
@MrColeThompson @LiveSCS @CameronSebek @BohemianHTX @SportsMT @SportsRV I think most roast talk is poorly done and overly personal
Think most people talk about other peoples jobs too lightly, emotionally and without regard to some of the team realities.
