    It's the players right now. We saw this stretch last year when they were without Fred. They need an actual point guard to set everyone up. I watched Capella open several times on rim rolls for lobs. No lob thrown. I know he's not the Capella of old, but still. Hell, even Kd could go get a lob. When they get pressured full court, you got guys not coming back to get the ball. It's like they run down the court thinking they still have Fred out there. Jd Davison needs his shot. He's the closest thing we have to an actual point guard instead of these combo guards, that are forced to play point guard.

    This team lacks the talent to overcome having a horrible coach in ime

    This is what a natural point guard looks like. I know it's the g league or summer league but this kid has good vision.

    “They were hoping the young core would develop more shooting”

    Yea no schitt lol, I’m sure they’d want them to develop more bricks. Why are you arguing for the sake of arguing.

    The rockets knew the benefits with their personnel decision…and likewise knew the risks. It’s not a surprise they are dead last in 3 pt attempts too (in 2025)

    This is literally a discussion board…. This thread is coincidently about whether it’s the players or coaches fault… Do you know where you are?!

    Get a better argument instead of one of some spoiled child…

    Some child who can’t cope with the reality that we had bad injury luck and our young core hasn’t developed to the point where we are a true contender….
