We need to change this losing Culture of this team. Should we fire Silas and hire Ime Udoka?

Houstonians don’t care enough about basketball for it to matter.

 

Yeah the Nets gave the rockets what they did because they wanted Stone. It was Stone who they wanted all along to play for them. The same folks continue to cry, bittch, and complain yet don't know half of wtf you're talking about. embarrassing

 

we are 100% better off then if he had stayed. After the russ trade, our window was completely closed shut AND we had no future assets. We would be COMPLETELY hopeless if not for the harden trade, with no future to speak of

 

All these ppl crying about changing the culture, changing the winning ways, etc...
Do you guys even know who we have on the roster?
We're nothing but the youngest team in the league with a few guys with good upside & potential. That's all we got!

if we had legit all-stars players & a nice group of role players and we're not winning then your cries are valid.
Right now all we could do w/ this roster is let them play & learn from their mistakes.
I'm from NYC and the knicks are a perfect example of never model from, 15+ years as the bottom feeder & still got no players to show for it.
At least we got Green, Senguen, Smith, KPJ, Eason, Martin Jr.

For this year, I'm all good w/ letting the young core play & develop as much as possible while we aim for #1 pick again. I know it isn't guaranteed but its better than fighting for 10 & 9 seed which basically means the purgatory of the NBA.

For a team in its 3rd rebuilding year, we really do have some promising pieces.

They're no closer to winning now than they were with Harden. In fact their odds are even worse. so who cares. you literally continue to b**** everyday about the dumbest stuff that is in reality part of the process of a full rebuild. don't like it? stop watching then cause its not going anywhere anytime soon

 

It's so sad how hopeful everyone is based on some future draft picks. What makes you trust they'll do anything with those picks when they can't even hit on the high draft picks they've already had? Joel Embiid created an entire generation of losers with his "trust the process" comment. Sometimes the process is you just continue to suck.

 

Sure, the rebuild might fail. But at least there is hope now, there was no hope when the russ trade was made and the window to compete was shut. There's no difference to me between 20 wins and 40 wins, i only care about a chance to compete for a title. We have a far great chance of a championship today then we did 3 years ago.

 

Who's to say we didn't hit on our picks? Way too early to call it and it's not like we passed on the true ready made stars of the draft. We had no choice but to draft where we were. You wanted Mobley, we likely don't get Alpi. That maybe changes the pick this year and we'd be happy with an Ivey or Matheruin OR maybe they'd be shooting poorly and playing inconsistently in this same trash offense with KPj as their point? We don't know what they have yet in Bari, but Green is not a miss as you allude to and Bari is still showing high potential as a defender despite his poor shooting.

What's sad is thinking a 14% chance at winning and landing the next biggest star that is unanimously praised is not worth it somehow and you'd rather what? Trade away our young guys for some vets? Because that is the only way were winning...haha..40 games? To fight for a play in? What is the purpose of that ultimately? Short term satisfaction? The mediocrity treadmill is what is sad. I get the idea a lot of you guys think we're tanking. We're not. We just suck because we are super young and poorly coached, and we threw vets out there before and still sucked due to poor coaching. Our "process" is completely natural. We didn't trade away our 26 year old all star the moment Wemby was available to be drafted next summer like SA.
Did the Pistons and Magic hit on their picks? Because they are right there with us as the worst teams. We're not playing gleague players 40mpg like those Sixers and people forget Embiid missed almost 3 full first seasons and they drafted a bust in Fultz at #1.

Make no mistake. This isn't a year where you might get a Fultz at #1. The hype is getting big for a reason the same way it did for many of the NBA's greatest of all time. The worst comps are Ralph Sampson because of unpredictable injuries, otherwise he's a HOF top 20 big. The next worst similarity is Oden(KD also super hyped that draft and Scoot is getting respect at #2 as a normally #1 prospect), also because of injuries but also because he just wasn't nearly as good as he was being hyped(next Bill Russell). Neither of these past 2 drafts had a prospect the caliber of Wemby. Draft Classes have tiers. Just because you drafted Diop and Wagner in the top 10 in 01 and 02 doesn't mean you say we didn't nail it, so let's fight for mediocrity in 03 because the LeBron hype is just hype and nothing more and he's got the same chance to be another Dejaun Wagner.

If we can get 35 wins, we can steadily improve by 2 games every year until we're getting swept in the playoffs by double digits! This is the road to mediocrity! Who's with me?!?

 

Yall had more standing when it was 0-0 record, We're literally too far behind for your mediocrity pursuits even. Get the best coach in. Make a stellar trade. We still have a struggle and fight and unlikely odds of reaching .500

Thank goodness Stone knows better b/c that JVG mentality can set your franchise back a decade. Coaches want that because they're fighting for their job. Fans should demand championships. Plural. "Those Houston Rockets haven't made the playoffs in 5 years, but i tell ya! They are tough play in opponent! They're not giving up that 8th seed without a fight!"

 

It’s a big if. “The Process” doesn’t always end up like Philly, it mostly ends up like Orlando and Sacramento.

 

Silas is just a bad coach. He has no in game coaching ability and looks lost and confused most of the time. Rockets will be up by 10 and the other team will make a run...he will make no adjustments. just sit there like, oh well! Rockets has very good players. They are just a bad team and that starts with the coach.
