What clicked exactly? Feels like something changed for him mentally.

 

If Lebron gets tired and they lose tmr..we’ll be creeping closer to them in the standings. Ham is in “save my job” mode at this point

 

Nice win. This Rockets team somehow found a way to let the Lakers came close. Sengun had the best defense on AD in the first half in his whole career. Bari came back with hot shootings and he must have been practicing his shots even when he was injured. Like most young teams including Magic, Thunders, we regressed a little bit approaching the all-star breaks. Our players maybe running out of gas a little bit. The most important thing is that we have already matched the wins last year at this point of the season.

 

Coaching was bad at points but with the main guys hitting everything we were frontrunning. When things get tight thats where you see what coaching is made of and Ime almost threw it away with his vet overdependence. Dillion and FVV almost destroyed us, meanwhile his dumbass sits Jabari Sengun and Jalen at the same time in crucial moments, not good.

 

He started reading Clutchfans and got mad

 

BOY OH BOY wut a wonderful game!
Thanks god those gold and purple fans in TC was being calmed down by rockets' well balanced game on both sides of floor, it's largely bc that we almost had our full lineup back.
this game spoke volume that:
1. How important a sg can shoot to a defense-oriented team;
2. How important a 6'11" pf with uber class of shooting ability would cover up alpi's weakness (rim protection) in the paint;
3. How important ime gives up his idea of ridiculously replying on old leg vets (esp fvv and unc jeff)
4. Cam gonna be our future if he keeps wasteing no time to improve every little facets of his game in coming seasons. He's a pure 'psychopath', big ego, ruthless, fearless hooper! Officially I'm a cAM Only fan.
Lastly, If rockets wanna prove to Adam that we deserve a berth in this playoff, stone gotta move quick to do something to our backup c and shooting before trade deadline as well as ignite a winning streak after all star break.
Tons of fun tonight!

 

Ime is a very good coach but he has his weaknesses and warts no doubt.

 

Genuinely curious. What would make you more happy. Green turning into a good player as a rocket or green getting traded.

 

Udoka gave him opportunities early in these games. More touches and playing more 2 man with Sengun. He’s also been more aggressive driving with contact.

 

Tarnishes his legacy.

 

Well, Twitter wanted him in China in his rookie year so.....I am thinking he is at least off X.com.

Totally agree with you, earlier in the season when the guys weren’t sure of the offense, Fred’s steady play and methodical pace helped them grind down the turnovers. Now that we have Amen healthy and JG’s ball security slowly getting better, I think he can take a step back because his lack of creativity sometimes stifles our offense (in my opinion).

We need FVV to be our leader, but we don’t need him to be our leader in 4th quarter shot attempts and we don’t need him to be ball dominant

 

Sit tonight out. The outcome for tonight must have been depressing for you tonight.
