Not a kneejerk, this is the worst modern offense I have ever seen

    The rockets offense is summed up wasting 10 seconds gingerly walking the ball up letting defenses set up, force driving in the paint, Defense collapsing, and then kicking out some stupid fadeaway jumper by non iso-expert players.

    We have players that can't even ****ing shoot..yes that's you Amen (I get he's high energy/hustle and loved on here but you can't survive in the league like this)

    Yes I get it, young team...but the lack of discipline and smarts when it comes to things like maybe don't waste so much of the shot clock are inexcusable.

    This is going nowhere unless they wake the **** up and address it in the offseason

    What about the offense where Harden dribbles the ball for 22 seconds then passes to Ariza for a contested 3?

    If they didn’t have an elite defense, they’d win 35 games max. Even with just a good defense, they’d wouldn’t crack 41 wins.

    Ime is a great coach but the offense is pretty bad. It’s almost inexplicable. When I think back to the Adleman offense….sigh. But ime is my boy. Just think the offense is so so bad I’m almost shocked. Some of it is personnel but a lot of it is the lack of an offensive system.

    Fred VanVleet offense is slow the tempo which is giving a huge advantage to the older Warriors.

    The Young Rockets want Fastbreak points on dunks.

    Amen spends a lot of time probing the D and making ok passes to other people, but he should make more decisive moves and win his own matchup.

    And I don’t think inserting a KD helps the case without severely hurt the defense. But I don’t hink he would improve the offense that much without a real system in place

    How he keeps playing Amen is insane

    Jabari has been a lone positive and this dude will not change his ****ing lineup

    I mean wtf do you expect with Amen and FVV? they'll play off and double green. **** this coach, I like his attitude but he can't make adjustments
