    Forget the last-minute play. Overall that is not what caused the loss. It is defense. Rockets defense simply stink. They are way too slow on switching and also often give up wide-open 3s. Tate played great defense early on but now even he sucks for some reason. If the Rockets are really trying to win games then the defense needs to change. Blame should be all on coaching.

    He’s undersized - truthfully he should come off bench and they need to play someone taller - a rebounder with Wood in starting lineups

    Need to bring back Bzdelik IMO.

    Or hire Kenny Atkinson as next HC.

    I agree. But Silas also loves the small-ball nonsense for some damn reason when we simply do not have that kind of shooting talent. Small-ball works when a team has shooters like Curry and Thompson, but Rockets simply does not have that luxury.

    Silas only plays the hand he’s been dealt this season - I believe Tate should play starters minutes but teams are simply just going big against us

    I think the, way the Rockets are, maybe Evan Mobley at the 2nd Pick would help the Team. If Rockets get #2 Pick.

    Of Course the 1st Pick is Cade Cunningham. He is 6'8

    I think Stephen Silas will get Fired, If the Losing Streak Continues.

    He really doesnt bench the Veterans who are Selfish.

    The Rookies and Young Players, that are unselfish are getting benched or DNP. The Players will lose Respect for the Coach No Doubt.

    Enough is Enough at some point. Tillman is Short Tempered. Stephen Silas is getting a bad image and Bad Karma in the Locker Room.

    how much his wingspan? Is his wingspan greater than andrew wiggins?

    Coaches around the league look at tilman and the current state of affairs/teams short and long term out look and then weigh their collective options. I don’t see many coaches lining up if the Job was available

    Justin Patton main Issue is he looks Confused on Defense, Always loses his man.

    DNP CD Until 3 Centers go Down again, which will happen with Keith Jones as a Trainer every type of injury is possible.

    I want the Losing Streak to Continue till the Trade Deadline.

    Why because Rafael Stone and Stephen need to Realize that Selfish, Greedy Veterans in John Wall and Victor Oladipo are not the Future, Young Players are.

    They are Not Franchise Players Anymore, They are Broken Rejects that got Dumped.

    The Rockets are the Only Dumb Franchise that wanted John Wall and Victor Oladipo.

    Stephen Silas wanted Victor Oladipo, Play Selfish John Wall, now you have a 20 Game Losing Streak. Congratulations Now You Are Fired.

    I keep hearing people say Silas loves small ball
    What is the lineup that would not be small that was available to him?

    Wood and Cousins together? No bench
    Wood and Patton?
