sorry to break it to u my guy, but that Bulls game was a 1 off people really believe on here that simple lineup changes are enough to propel us from being the worst team in the league…
Spot on! Few tweaks here and there and we’re in serious danger of finishing 66-16. That’s what the unwashed masses want. Do. Not. Give-in!
Competence isn’t going to translate to many wins with this team. But it will raise the trade value of EG and Wood. Don’t worry. There’s no stopping this tank.
actually the masses want them to lose and tank...i have yet to meet a rockets fan that is against tanking, well perhaps the @D-rock is the only one this franchise management and fanbase became giantpussy mentality BIG TIME i am afraid basketball gods will retaliate by making tilmen move the franchise to Vegas
2 -17 doenst mean anything...you can turn the season around and win the championship... wins and losses are all about nuances and mentality basketball is game of runs and momentums...80% of success is the right mindset.... and the difference between a close game and 20 pts blowout is only 3-4 possesions because 20 pts is equal to 6 posessions today...NUANCES had silas coahed warriors and played dinosaurus lineups in an empty toyota center(yes the crowd makes big difference too)..... they may have ended up with 2-17 record too...dont tell me its impossible when they were laughing stock of the league in 2 previous years with the same roster basically coaching makes the difference LIKE A LOT and i didnt mean to replace silas with another average NBA coach scrub but the real quality dedicated coaching dedicated to detail, nuances and excellence imagine silas BENCHING STEPH CURRY LIKE HE DID TO SENGUN..whats the record then?
Normally when people say "don't give into the masses," they're not saying you should do something even dumber instead. Misleading thread title.
I dont want to tank. They should be playing all of the rookies and young guys heavy minutes and trying to win but they will lose anyway and thats fine because we are developing them and rebuilding.
Wood can't stay healthy 12 games in a row playing quote unquote the "right way.". Silas gave in because of the reports his job was on the line. Will he stick with it? IDK, I guess as long as Wood can hold up? Silas is in trouble if he is counting on Wood to stay healthy and House to play as well as he did vs the Bulls.
Kudos, an actual thread on this site without toxic slander and hate. Didn't know it was possible for you guys. Coolio.
That is a legitimate fear. We should make sure we are a bottom 3 team that way we are assured at least the 5th pick and have pretty good odds of a top 3. Banchero should be the goal. Even if we have to trade Wood and some future draft capital to get him.
the delusion is way too high…Rockets and “win enough” should NEVER be in the same sentence Bulls game got people thinking the Rockets actually aren’t that sh*tty… Bulls already had their mind on Thanksgiving
His name is Duren and he is a clone of Dwight Howard. No shot but with elite defense and rebounding and only 18 years old. I’d take any of the three, Banchero, Chet, or Duren. I think Banchero is the perfect PF for this team and has the most flexibility to play in multiple roles. Chet and Sengun may be awesome together or may be a bit redundant.
Great advice for 2k. Terrible advice for real life. Losing has consequences. Building things is really difficult. Losing on purpose builds nothing.
