    I wish he would have left him benched.

    Its like he realized he did something stupid and tried to bail himself out if Reed hit the shot, and if he missed he wouldn't look bad for it

    This guy needs to be boo'd

    There was that moment earlier prior to the game going OT when KD was clearly pissed at Ime for probably not calling a timeout to settle down and make a play to win it rather than going for it

    Just puts points on the platter, but he is really overrated as a clutch guy...

    it's absolute lunacy. KD spazes the **** out when he has to dribble or pass.

    A team's best player taking the most shots isn't that crazy an idea.

    The fact the coach forces a lot of those plays to develop beyond the 3 point line is the bigger issue.

    But that's not the point you're trying to make.

    Not calling a timeout when Al P got stood up on the baseline was stupid.

    Nobody on the court knew where to go and what to do. Ime is a bad bench coach. A number of us have been screaming it for 2 years. Now everyone seems to be catching on. The dumbest thing Stone has done was hiring Silas, the second dumbest thing was extending ime.

    The Rockets have too many bad decision makers in the lineup to run more motion. Jabari and Josh struggle with when to shoot, drive, or pass. KD doesn't move off the ball that much.

    How many wide-open 3s would the Rockets have if Harden was running point instead of Amen?

    No wonder they won. They have Borrego as their coach. He got the sorry ass Hornets to the playoffs and they were feeling themselves too much.

    Maybe it's just me.. But sometimes KD needs to stop the efficiency analytic bullshit and just go out and get 50 to will us to a win... I'd rather him left it fly from range than try and playmake in clutch situations..

    That will never happen. You’re basically asking him to be prime James Harden lol

    What else do you expect when your head coach's offense is just "Grab more rebounds."

    ime just needs an offensive coach. i hate when people on here will gaslight us and say Ime is good at offense and point to the stats of the rockets being a good offensive team. rockets is not a good offensive team.
