    Our offense is so freaking terrible. No movement. No actual plan. Just pick up basketball.

    The rebuild worked. But the team is not going to get any better. And I think it’s obvious.

    One of the worst games of basketball I have ever watched.

    And I watched that game against Utah where only 4 Rockets scored. This is up there with that debacle

    He's not selfish, has a great shot and has shown great flashes this year like the 8 3-pointer game - defense still needs more work, but a lot of players on the Rocket's aren't great defenders and do stupid things all of the time. He needs to go to a system/organization that makes better decisions than the Rockets.

    Our front office is mediocre. This mediocrity has flowed down from them and affected the whole organization. The on court product is the result of decisions made in the suites.

    I’ve watched enough basketball to tell you, not one player on this team has that superstar gear.

    Yeah I don't get the Reed hate. He's our least experienced player, he's hardly even been our worst player tonight.

    Ime's body language on the sidelines is AWFUL. That's not leadership at all. He's pouting and complaining to assistants. Grow up, you dunce!
