    Everytime I hear this guy talk it feels like he has been watching the Rockets for years and has not only an understanding of what needs to be done, but a measurable plan for the things that need to be fixed.

    We shall see if the talk matches the walk.

    you know what they say, one man's loss is another man's moral victory

    Learning lessons are great when we're trying to get some good young players. #thankyousilas - we are forever in your debt.

    What if it's a circle? :eek:

    Finally, I died on the right hill! I know yall see me screaming in all these threads

    I truly believe Rockets had play-in talent LAST YEAR. Ime saw the talent, that's why he jumped at the chance to coach the Rockets. I'm not even a millionaire coach, and I peeped it. Ime wouldn't say this if he didn't believe it. Pay me Rockets!

    Players run the league, the coaches/GM etc are like non article 3 corporate magisrate/judge, just there to monitor/ref the situation and say the right things and put those players in best situation to prosper and nurture egos

    The only way to see and know what you got is playing your young players, rather they add vets or not

    They only changed coaches while adding two more 20 and under players and to an already basically NCAA NBA aged team

    Ime is going to show what he is truly made of, players included

    It cannot be stated how horrendous Stephen Silas was. This is such an obvious thing for a coach to say yet Silas was incapable of grasping this.

    The barometer has been set. The Rockets have to be a 40-45 win team at minimum!

    Yeah, it's nice of Ime to say and I'm sure he means it to some extent butttttttt...

    Amen is getting 20+ mpg no matter what happens barring injury of course. It might not be at starting PG or whatever but he's seeing those minutes. The only way for guys like Jabari and Amen and other young players to improve is to actually play them and so they will still see a huge chunk of minutes per game.

    Lol. Everything in his body languagespeech/how he carries himself. He’s an alpha.

    aside from the stories reported and that I’ve heard… dude is a straight shooter w the “players already know it’s different, no handing out playing time based on draft position” - watch KPJ pout or Tari miss three layups in a row or Bari go 0-5 in the first quarter or defensive lapses happen and they’re getting pulled. The type to tell you straight to your face and then stare you down. They type to fk your girl if u act up lolololol.

    I believe the use of a strikethrough would be in order

    No way! You said play-in team last year. Every play-in team won 40-44 games last year, so obviously, with even more top level talent from the draft and probably more veterans this year, we should win a few more games than that!

    YOU ARE OUR LEADER!!! RIDE OR DIE WITH 45!!!!
