Bickerstaff lineups, rotations and minutes are horriable

    I am tired of this bull****. JBB needs to shut up and leave Rockets.

    We have no bench to speak of. The dregs, the absolute dregs.

    We might as well play them and at least showcase value. We have a late lotto pick, every loss makes it better. If we can get someone to take our cash then we will want those young guys to (a) have some experience and (b) have some value if we find ourselves able to trade young talent for a solid vet

    Is there anyone remember that Morey hired Bickerstaff during the period of Rockets rebuilding....

    I think JBB is a good selection when your team want to rebuild. He can help with lottery picks....

    Lol, McHale was bad, but... I don't think JBB could even get close to where McHale got the Rockets. ****ing JBS can't even run a real rotation.

    Morey knows this season is doomed, J.B. will not get an extension and then Chris Finch will take over next season. When that happens, Clutchfans will blow up.

    I honestly just cannot believe what's going on with this team.

    We can't defend anyone although our head coach was our defensive assistant.

    It's simple: JB is so over his head. Ethical thing for him to do would be to go to the NBDL and hone his basketball insight.
    Nahh, it's hopeless.

    THIS. They pretty much fired MCHale because the defense sucked with Howard in and out of the lineup then hand the reigns over to the defensive head coach and the team has no consistent rotatations while the defense really didn't get much better. I hate to say this but the team would be better (at the moment) with McHale over JBB and that ain't saying much.

    Feigen tweeted last night that many basketball guys around the league have very specific reasons why they think J.B. is doing a good job. So is it really just the players?

    I think he's a good guy. Good friend, maybe even a good motivator. But he clearly has many faults on the coaching front that some of the players/friends could not care much about.

    Well maybe he doesn't want to lose the group and cannot totally change things around. It might be different when he has a camp with the group and can put in his own vision etc. Or is that just wishful thinking?

    There's always hope, but the many head scratching moments he has doesn't give me much.

    I love how he called an out of bounds play, and we ended up having to a use a timeout cause we couldn't get the ball inbounds.

    Listen, one fundamental thing for out of bounds play. All four players need to be looking for the ball, it's not really anything "magical" when the ball goes to Harden. All 20,000 in the gym, the coaches, the other players already know.

    You got to think a little deeper than that. Everyone should show, everyone. If the play can't work to perfection, credit the defense. Just inbound it and reset the play.

    It's extremely frustrating watching our out of bounds play and everyone's backs towards Ariza. The poor guy is also like wtf is going on here.

    I think the possible answer to the Rockets problems is to extend Bickerstaff for another three years, so he has the job security and can coach knowing he will not be held accountable during the season. The guy has obviously possibly done a fabulous job, the rotations are on point and Lil B is having a good time. Why not just extend him, just might make sense at the moment.

    Are you not a Bickerstaff fan at the moment?
