    As bad as JG and Bari played, they still made mid-30 percent behind the three-point line. I won't call them busts just yet, but I'm very discouraged that they don't trust the team. Every people have bad shooting nights, when you are cold, play defense and feed your teammates, made a few easy baskets and maybe you will slowly get your touch back. You rarely see Spurs' players play hero balls because they know Pop will bench them. A good coach is very important because they hold players accountable.

    It's becoming clear that the biggest issue in the offense is lack of play making. We gotta look for a play maker next year and move kpj either to 2 or back up 2 or trade.

    Jalen and Jabari are not living up to their potential.

    Al P is very consistent: 15.5pts. 10 rebounds every game.

    Al P played with DJ Augustine and Schroder last year. Al P's chemistry with them was great / we watch them score of P & R plays a ton of times. Now offense is one man show, everybody takes turns, kpj and Jalen more than others.

    He certainly can be smart in some ways. Knowing basketball is something too general. Some people are good for assistant coach roles but not for head coach. Maybe he is that type. Or some coaches can function well with a strong group of players but do not well weaker players, Ty Lue for example. For silas, whatever the reason is, he is doing a terrible job. He seems to be fixated on some plays and players. How can Tari not get more minutes? How can you put up with Nix? Gary? Sengun is not used with playmaking, at all, how come? We get no corner threes? no ball movement, as well as no player movement? Set a screen and expect Green or KPJ to score? really, that's your gameplan? It might have worked with luka or harden but it sure won't work here.

    The rockets took the bait, when teams see that the Rockets are being competitive and might try to win a game. One guy will try to bully them and they take the bait. It’s a mental game, they get frustrated and lose focus on winning the game. I do not want this team every year looking forward to the draft and never get better. Our players or not growing right now and we are not getting better.

    Loser mentality… knock knock you don’t even have a PG. even if you had brought Hakeem back, he would have been used like he is DeAndre Jordan.

    nobody will chill if you got no system. Regression is inevitable under Silas. Don’t you see how Green plays just for Hero Ball?? What kind of guidance is that?

    Sengun is a good player I do not know why people say he is small, he is not a dominating center in the nba but he is only 20 years old. He is a good center who is averaging 16 points and 10 rebounds and if you feature him little more in half court settings he would easily average 20 and 10 each night. We need to include Sengun as our core players and not just Green and Jabari.

    I have a feeling we will see this stat sheet of 109 scored points a ton this season.

    Deja vu.

    Let’s all accept that he is too freaking selfish and just plays for himself…

    We have improved in certain area such as free throws, team rebounding, and turnovers but we are terrible every game in team assist and inefficient field goal percentages….every game. Solution? We need a new point guard and slow down with this iso ball or hero ball and pass the ball more to get a good shot. Head Coach need to bring more discipline on these players.

    Alp has been the scapegoat of this team while ignoring a non existent backcourt defense…

    imagine judging him on a roster that is young and rebuilding

    Easy to say that from a chair, also easy to expect 1 or 2 year players to have a smooth game style already in motion

    Silas’ burner account. Don’t you feel a bit of shame that you can come up with that kind of bulls*it??
