    I want to see Green take one charge, pisses me off when he just watch the wolves do layup drills in his grill. Where's the pride man

    Anyone blaming ONE player is just not being honest.

    This team is THE WORST DEFENSIVE team I have ever seen - top to bottom - and it is why I want to see defensive improvement more than offensive....all the players can score some....but KPJ has been AZZ tonight, Green has been AZZ tonight.....and they both seem to not care on D.....where is the ****ING ACCOUNTABILITY?

    Bench em - play the G leaguers.......tell them NO ONE has a spot guaranteed if you don't play hard.

    The players are not being held accountable and that stops at Silas....HE IS AZZ !

    When Silas runs an offense that features him or KPj passes him the ball for an assist.

    When Galen gets a rhythm its over, but you cant with all these knuckleheads in the lineup.

    Rockets start 4 bench players and a 175 lb rookie.

    We don’t have the best players for defense, but there is no improvement, no adjustments, what’s the deal?

    I remember watching the Rockets playing the Clippers back in the late 90s (with Barkley posting up Keith Closs over and over again and scoring at will) and wondered how a team could be as bad as that Clippers squad.

    And now I know……

    At this point I’d rather see Nix, who at least shows some floor awareness, take KPJ’s minutes and just cut the latter. He’s not only not a PG - he’s not even an NBA player. That 50 pt game was a bigger fluke than a Corey Brewer’s.

    Well that is part of the problem - usually your VETS help lead like....WALL, or EGO, but neither cares.......so this is what you get, guys trying to lead who have no business leading.

    The team is a ****ing mess, top to bottom...hell the org is...... I have been a fan since 1972, this is the WORST team they have ever had....and the furthest away from doing anything......

    Steve's best attribute is being a nice guy. Unfortunately for us, NBA head coaching positions require a much different skillset

    He's paying somebody 40m for literally nothing, I'm not buying it.

    Minnesota are just too good. Some people talk on here as if we are a great team and talk as if the other team are no good constantly

    we are rebuilding and it shows
