IDK if people and I think JJ knows this, the South Bay Lakers beat the Vipers handily.... They still got players that can play with no minutes ----- Knecht, Thiero, Timme. Knecht the Shooter is obviously on standard contract and available, the others cannot be played in the Playoffs due to 2 way contracts.
Us getting our heads handed to us is a good thing because we can’t / shouldn’t pretend that everything is okay and not make a change.
If pulling it out means Ime stays, I don't want them to. Sorry, not sorry. The clutch is burnt, the pressure plate warped & cracked and the throw out bearing thrown out. Time for an overhaul. I don't even enjoy watching this team.
I hate to say it but this is what my gut says. And to lose in 4 instead of 6 or 7 with our young guys playing very well and increasing their trade value
Ime has to gamble, go small, and put better shooters on the floor. Reed should start, if he doesn’t like Reed then Holiday should start. The Lakers will just dare Okogie, Sengun and Amen to shoot. If I am coaching I would even bench Sengun and go with Jabari at 5. I have no confidence in them but I have also been through the Clippers series in 2015. I know everything is possible.
McHale for all the hate he gets never put his or any egos in the way of team success. The come back vs LAC was led by the headband crew while Jim was on the bench most of the 2nd half.
This is brilliant. Why don’t the Thunder lose their series and make themselves even better this summer? We should just keep losing until we’re a dynasty.
Sometimes you have to take 1 step back to take 2 steps forward...in this case, we need to fall off the porch! You can enjoy mediocrity all you want....everyone knows with this current regime we ain't winning ****!
Just frustrated with them man. I think that if they made bad choices to begin with, then giving new choices to the same idiots won’t go well. Most likely outcome: they say that the only thing missing is FVV and we should run it back. Personally, I think we have to trade Amen or Sengun. Then we should wait for window to hire Budenholzer - a coach who has proven he can build an offense that suits a non-shooter. Before him, Kidd tried everything else but I think couldn’t ever get out of the first round. Budenholzer showed up and unlocked things immediately. We don’t have a Giannis but those principles are extremely valuable.
Same here bro, its super frustrating to watch the Rockets...Ime reminds me so much of Jeff Van Gundy, they prefer defensive players. I just remember how enamored Jeff Van Gundy was of Ryan Bowen...he was straight garbage! Got playing time because he knew how to draw a foul. No way our teams with Yao/T-Mac should've got bounced out the 1st round three consecutive years. When we hired Rick Adelman, we finally got out the 1st round! I believe this is the direction the Rockets will need to go, probably won't be this off-season though, but the sample size we have with Ime is not promising we'll win a championship with him as our coach
