    Please help us help you bring back the prominent dark bags under your eyes that show you are accomplishing greatness through your sleepless nights of yore. We yearn for the days opponents routinely scored under 110. We need your evil genius of fanatical defensive ways.

    They're treating him like he's James Harden.

    MDA would be playing Schroeder, he doesn’t like kids

    Shook, stop copping pleas for Stone! Stone is in charge

    if Stone wanted to, he could demand that all the vets take a seat on the bench…Or better yet, how about he stop constantly acquiring them?…I mean, is it not in his best interest for the kids to develop? Instead, he’s at V-day dinner chillin

    How long is this PR campaign for Stone gonna continue on the GARM?

    I just think the personnel is simply not there. While most teams in the league build their teams with strength and size we are still rooted in the old Morey ball vision of small ball. Our players are shorter, smaller, and can’t shoot on top of that. I mean really. Who do we have? Two erratic guys most teams stayed away from that are supposed to be center pieces. 3 rookies. Great all around rugged player in tate who is under sized playing the 4 and only flaw is can’t shoot. KMJ can’t shoot. Nwaba can’t shoot. Schroeder can’t shoot. Matthews can shoot but poor defender and can’t dribble drive effectively. Who do we have? While I don’t think Silas is a great coach I just think it’s personnel or lack thereof that is responsible for the current state of the team.

    I just took a look at all the transactions he's made, he's been ridiculously active shuffling G-League level dudes through the end of the roster but it's hard to find a trade that you would definitely count as an absolute W.

    Josh Christopher and Alperen Sengun were solid picks, jury is still out on Green and Garuba can't really be judged.

    Was the Wood deal a good trade? I freaking hate Wood so I say no, but on paper it was an OK deal. Everything else he's done has been absolutely mediocre

    Giddy had 28/11/12 on 50% shooting 22 shots. Kpj and green combined for 18 shots. Rockets need a direction and need to make a decision who’s development means the most.

    This has been my biggest gripe as far as the Development of Green as a #2 overall pick.

    In the starting 5 he gets the least amount of touches. KPJ has shown improvement as far as his scoring and assist numbers, but he was allowed to hump the basketball for half the season to the detriment of everyone else. Same with Wood.

    Tate and ego are even getting more touches.

    This season should’ve been all about young player development and letting them have their growing pains.

    And green shot the ball well!! One of those games where he could have been targeting 30 if he has the attempts

    actually it makes all sense in the world if you realize that players' agencies own our team....
