    The rotations in the 4th are as bad as they come

    KD and Jabari turn it over 7 times in a row which leads to...

    Bench Reed, the guy with 7 assists and 0 turnovers. The pelicans announcers are in disbelief saying he's dissecting their offense all night.

    Amen, Jabari airballing on offense and this dipshit continues to keep our perimeter shooting on the bench for no reason.




    Every issue isn't "sub a defensive guy in"

    Its not a secret why we can't beat a single contending team and lose most close games. Enough is enough

    This is a clown thread.

    it’s also unnecessary as there is an official fire Ime thread

    Imagine b****ing about clowning while the rockets blew a 25 pt lead vs an active tanking team. You must be slow as ****

    And all for preventable reasons.

    All the reason more to get CP3. Eventual Ime replacement.

    100% correct, IME SUCKS as an offensive coach, he is CONSTANTLY outcoached by other teams.

    We will NEVER WIN ANYTHING with him as coach.

    Ignore the IME crank lickers...they don't have a clue about basketball either.

    Ime is holding this team back.

    As I said when we got KD. He is a coach killer. When things go wrong people will blame Ime. It was a stupid trade. Ime has gone from beloved to people seriously wanting him gone after just a few weeks with KD.

    Kevin McHale and Jeff Van Gundy all over again, a big name, lots of clap clap defense. Everyone loves grit and sandpaper until you're shooting the most long 2s in basketball while being stuck with 2 non shooters on the floor even when the team hemmorages points in the process.

    Adleman and D'Antoni had to be brought in to impose a good offense, and it looks like they'll have to do it again.

    I’m not going to say fire him but at this point it’s more than fair to start questioning him and call him out. He’s the one that wanted to trade young assets for KD yet can’t run any plays for him

    Ime isn't being fired lol. Players will be traded, acquired or fired before he does.

    Nah some of us were calling Ime out this off season. I bet KD starting to realize Ime don’t know what he’s doing on offense. Worst part of Ime is we let him wear the GM hat too like he’s Phil Jackson

    You will lose forever as long as IME is the coach he doesn't have it, he isn't smart enough to win REAL NBA games.

    Sorry, he is holding this team back from what it could be...

    He plays favorites like Adams who has ZERO threat on offense and is a 15mpg guy at most now, and he has Durant initiating when he can't do that anymore DURANT at this point is a finisher only not a creator.

    Ime is one of the dumbest coaches I have seen here, he has ZERO clue how to help his team win.

    Gaslighting people isn't going to work tonight Ime stan. GTFO

    I'm sure you loved the rotations, the inbound plays, the 3 nonshooters when we couldn't buy a bucket, playing holiday the defensive stopped and all the other shitty things

    The players quit on Ime in the 2nd half. This is the story of the game. It isn't about rotations or anything else. Somebody's feelings got hurt and the discord infected the entire roster.

    The Rockets held the Pels to 34% shooting in the 1st half. Then they shot almost 70% in the 2nd half. That only happens when a team stops trying.

    Not suggesting anything crazy here, but IIRC, during Don Chaney's last game, the Rockets led by 25 in the 2nd half, the players visibly quit, they blew the lead and lost. He was gone the next day.

    Again, this collapse was not about adjustments, rotations or strategy. The players simply stopped trying on defense and did similar on offense.

    My wild guess is Ime yelled at Alpi during halftime or early in the 2nd half during a TO. I don't Alpi has ever looked as defeated as he did tonight.

    Postgame interviews may give us a clue.

    A trade needs to happen. I don’t see how people object to trade for another player make/bucket getter in a Harden/Kyrie or Giannis deal. Like just do it
