    We're not only the worst Rocket team of all time, we're the worst NBA team EVER...

    Seriously, someone tell Stone we don't need to tank this hard to get the #1 pick ever since Morey and his goons "balanced" the lotto drafts. Just need to be a bottom 6 team.

    Watching this is actually painful. Even the NO Pelicans fielding a team of actual g-leaguers are better than this team.

    ehhh making EG the pg is fair . But , the rest is bad .

    look at Tate fighting for a bigger role . He deserves one too .

    ego / Tate / house / Theis / wood . Then let sengun and green do things off the bench .

    if the starters play bad you will be down 25 with 7-8 min to go in the 3rd and then you just put in whoever . Give green and sengun the rest of the game if the pace slows down

    Mostly it's because he's terrible at basketball

    Let’s see who Sil@ss runs out in the 3rd.
    If House and wood are both in - it’s game over

    Thats why John Wall decided to sit this one out. Playing with a coach like Silas gonna hurt his career even more lmao

    The real question is what the **** did the Rockets coaching staff learn from ****ing being assigned playoff series to watch? What did Coach Silas learn? Did he even try to prepare for the upcoming season?

    It's almost as if he was still stuck in Dallas thinking Doncic was walking through that door. This whole bullshit of letting the team figure it out during the preseason rather than running real plays to get experience tells me he actually came unprepared. He must of been so busy with his fluff piece movie (I bet Tilmans cheapass made him produce and edit the movie) that he forgot about his coaching job.

    It's a total mind boggle that Danuel House still plays and that he has this Matthews scrub kid playing.

    WTF.

    Yea, and no one gives him a pick when he was guarded by an elite defender Dort. He could take Dort 1 on 1 (he did that once successful which created two FTs for Tate), but at least run some plays.

    They also weren’t running an offense when he came back. They went back to if you got it chuck it.

    This really does piss me off. Green was clearly hot to start the game, feed him, see how much he has to give. If he explodes for 20 or something points it helps his mental, builds his confidence.

    But freeform offense with no direction means any player can just ignore him being open for whatever junk they want to try. Coach could have come out in one of those TOs and told them ride the hot hand, lets try to get this guy going, lets run him through some screens and try to get Dort off of him and see if he could cook...

    But instead we get Ego and Tate taking up all the usage.

    He was on the bench until like 3 minutes to go. He’s not the lead initiator either. He’s actually had a great offensive game

    It's getting pretty close to malpractice at this point

    I feel like this team is just playing pick up basketball and everyone is fending for themselves

    Silas deserves to be fired just for not recognizing how good Sengun is, he is top 3 ROY candidate if he started and played 30mpg.

    I dont think EG at PG is good because he has the same mentality as KPJ. Green's handle is not tight but he will pass you the ball.
