    A coach early in the season trying to let his team figure it out.

    top 5 coach in the league.

    Maybe he should try to be a part of the figuring it out instead of just rolling the ball out and just throwing sh*t against the wall in regards to rotations.

    I am sorry you don’t appreciate success. The rockets are nowhere near this level at this time without him.

    The last Denver game demonstrated how teams have caught on to the simple Houston offense. They doubled KD while packing 4 players in the paint. The Rockets kept driving into the paint instead of passing the ball to an outside shooter only to miss the shot or turn the ball over again and again. Sure there were 3 bad calls favoring the Nuggets at the end of that game but the Rockets should have had that game in the bag. This is on Ime because his offensive system was exposed last season for its lack of outside shooting. His solution was to bring in a 37 year old KD who is unable to compensate for their lack of outside shooting as teams are doubling him to get the ball out of his hands. Once that's done, you only have Sheperd and Jabari and a few others who can hit occasionally. This is not going to be enough to carry them deep into the playoffs.

    Most remember he and a real point guard were brought in together to stop the tanking. The real point guard is on the shelf and here we are with new but ever so similar issues (Point forward as the primarily ball handler —> the names have changed.,.)

    Yeah. With any other coach they’d be 21-3 instead of 16-8

    How do you know that? The only thing he has proven is he’s better than Silas. What’s your definition of success?

    We are 16-8 and KD is supposed to be mr superstar we should have a better record without Fred and also Sengun has improved. Thats besides the point though we havent beat any top tier teams WITH KD, "Mr superstar" who I was told would make us way better. I would have just traded for someone in our timeline not KD and there would be no pressure for us to be good so soon. With KD comes drama and I told you guys this in the offseason.

    You sound like a braindead conspiracy theorist. Your coach wanted KD in the first place, this roster is literally handpicked by him.

    The rockets had 7 turnovers in the first 8 minutes, but that's a defensive problem since our coach said that the other day too.


    So glad we have a dude playing 4D chess

    7 assists with 0 turnovers in 1.3 quarters last game. Let me repeat again

    Pulling him was ****ing stupid. He was passing like he was tonight

    He plays an extra minute Pels game and it never goes to OT

    This is factually incorrect. I can provide specific data to suggest the complete opposite.

    its almost like this is exactly what we've been saying and pulling Reed for an occasional defensive lapse isn't worth killing the offense and KD

    Your thread aged well…..dumbest thread of the year. You probably were a big fan of Silas and want him back to replace Udoka.
