    Yes, the my turn your turn. Tari Eason never passed on fast breaks even though KJ Martin was on the opposite wing for a for sure alley-oop. KPJ and Jalen would pass to each other. I remember a game where they used the entire shot clock passing it to each other and ignoring everyone else. It was the definition of selfish me play.

    Develop a winning mindset and winning culture. Some teams never develop enough winning culture to reach the playoffs on a consistent basis.

    The your turn my turn always sucks and easier to down talk when it results to losing

    But the my turn your turn was very fruitful for Wade/Bron (Bosh occasionally got a turn) and their 4 straight finals trips and others

    When the Rockets won back to back it seemed like it was only Dream turn, sprinkled in with some Drexler during the second title run

    Pretty much all teams run that type or format with their best players, and its better to have a big 3 and strong 6th man (bench) to make that my turn/your turn work formula work for a deep playoff run, and it also helps if those high usage type of players are equally good at getting a bucket while creating shots for others to keep them involved

    It better not be Jock.
    Can’t be making disparaging comments about he’s new employer.

    He didn't make the trip to the World cup due to injuring his ankle before they left for the tournament. He is either in Australia or the US rehabbing his ankle, so it's not him

    Why on earth would anyone think this Rockets team is any better? FVV? Dillon Brooks? Ime Udoka? Ime Udoka isn't the one playing basketball, these kids are. Summer highlights are just Summer highlights. Everyone looks good in Summer highlights, even Ben Simmons.
    We're hoping Amen develops a shot. Kpj still hasn't matured.
    The man is not wrong. We have yet to prove that we are not the city in Texas where basketball goes to die.

    I'm an Aussie and that same team just got bounced early with the second most amount of NBA players on their roster behind the US, so like the Rockets the player and team are also trash.

    That title still belongs to Dallas, hopefully San Antonio tries to build around a 20 year old Wemby next year and shoots all their bullets like Dallas and New Orleans did.

    Glad to see he was not Josh Giddey. The only guy Rockets should employ when possible.

    Otherwise Down Under people are not famous for awareness and we don't care their isolated/self-important opinions.

    Why would anyone think the worst team over the last 3 seasons is trash? Pfff clearly the professional basketball player knows nothing.

    I know the OP didn't want to name names but that first guy has to be Joe Ingles.

    Who just signed with Orlando and he's talking **** about the Rockets being a bad team? Does he know who Orlando is??

    This is a bizarre statement. Who are you to speak for the world and say you don't care for the opinions of an entire nation of people?

    Also dude, Down Under people is not the preferred nomenclature. Australians, please.

    Around the World made an educated guess......I tend to agree.

    The Wagner brothers are making the jump ---- FWIW

    Maybe it was Thybulle, maybe no. Just sounded like a Jingles thing to say to me and it's clearly him in one of the photos

    Jack is in way better shape than Joe, didn't look like him to me.

    Jingles has the exact don't give a **** attitude to say something like that too. Jack White doesn't have the runs on the board to talk **** on a team. Neither does Mattisse in my opinion but Mattisse is a weird unit so it could have been him. Although the dude in the pic looks like Xavier Cooks to me and he definitely has no platform to judge an NBA team on.

    Whoever it was, this was the mystery Clutchfans needed this deep in the offseason. I love it

    Orlando is not that bad, finished the season off with 34 wins, Wagner is doing well at the world cup and Banchero gets some time with the US team which I think always beneficial for a young player.

    Kudos for being a good parent to your child @Cosmonaut! That trip opened your sons mind to the beautiful game of basketball and he will forever be a better person for it....

    As far as the Aussie giving his opinion, well that's exactly it, HIS OPINION! MY OPINION is that his opinion is full of crap!

    Having a coach that doesn't hold his players accountable and being under a tank mandate definitely promotes selfish play! I will put my Rockets up against his Aussie team any day of the week and and twice on Sundays!! This team is going to show a huge improvement from last year! They are not contenders, but they are not as bad as some IDIOT Aussie says they are... There I SAID IT!


    Go Rockets!!!
