    I believe the Rocket’s management do not know what they are doing. I have lost confidence in them. He need a pass first point guard, pure shooters and actually play our draft prospect. We have a very athletic team but no shooters. We are last in FG%, last in turnovers and last in assists. We need to play Sengun for 30 plus minutes and run some offense through him(Sacramento Kings), play Christopher every game, bring up TyTy and be our Point Guard, play KPJ as our SF or 6th Man NOW! Trade Gordon and Tate yesterday for shooters.

    We do not play like a professional NBA team, we play like a AAU team. I do not know if the management knows how to develop or establish a real NBA team. We need a new coach! Put Stone on notice. This hurt for die hard Rockets

    And which NBA team have you ever worked for?


    Fact of the matter is that it is very possible our staff don't know what they are doing. However, they still managed to get employed at that level, which you never did. So more likely your ideas are whack than theirs are...

    No team in the NBA plays their young players more than we do, none.

    No memes, no gifs, no thanks.

    This should be merged with one of the many Fire So and So threads. Here's some jello:

    This lacks all context.

    I guess fans can see with their naked eye what's wrong or what is going on.

    You don't have to be a rocket scientist or professional even to see problems.

    My best guess would be that they indeed had a plan but that plan was flawed or isn't working other than hoping for Wemby at 14% odds.

    Maybe the plan is
    14% Wemby
    14% Scoot
    10% breakout potential from young guys
    12% huge amount of cap space
    40% patience
    8% contingencies
    2% asset availability to trade for a disgruntled star


    Fact is that we have (by a very large margin) the most minutes and responsibility on players 21 and under in the league. That = losing and inconsistent performances.
    2023/4 has always been the target year (owe our pick and have max space) - this year is judged on next year
    Shockingly young guys don't learn everything they need to learn from week to week


    (** I say all this as someone unconvinced Silas is the guy.)

    Fact is several of other young guys in the same draft class are looking better, I think that is really what's bugging most of us.

    So this young guys don't learn is sort of moot.

    Our learning environment is just not that good compared to OKC for example. I know they have a 24 so called superstar at their hand bleh bleh, we have 22 year old KPJ bla bla....

    Excuses over excuses sought.

    I know more about bball than this. Do you know about nba franchise? Do you have a business? Are you employed? It’s easy to draft Green and Jabari. We did not receive any legit player from the Harden trade. Gordon needed to trade yesterday. The draft picks from Brooklyn picks are going to be bad picks for us. No trades. That’s why I gave my point, the blind is leading the blind

    We do not play Christopher, a draft prospect. We really do not know what we have in Sengun because we are not playing him over 30 minutes a game. We are playing Tate and Mathew and they are not part of our future. TyTy is not even playing on the team, the guy is scoring more than 53 points with the Vipers and we need a real point guard on this team

    Why is this so hard to realise lol.

    look at us V the kings for example.

    do we have a player as established as Sabonis?

    we have Eric Gordon lol

    Half the roster was playing what, 30 college games as a season and now are in a 82 game season where they travel 50% of the season and wonder why 19-22 year olds are so inconsistent, it’s almost asif they have never watched NBA before.

    Amassing talents without giving up one or two in trades will get you this.

    Draft picks riding the bench with no hope of minutes.

    The horse is dead. It’s a carcass. It’s beaten to ****ing death.

    They could fire Silas, cut KPJ, cut Nix, trade Gordon, play Sengun 48 minutes and run the offense through him, they’ll still suck.

    They sucked last night, they suck today, they’ll suck tomorrow, they’ll suck the remaining 40 games, and probably suck again next year.
    Rockets are no different than @Jontro ’s favorite adult star. They suck and take it up the ass on a nightly basis.

    Check back in the summer to see where the ping pong balls land.
    And check back this time next year to see how they’re doing.

    Ahh who am I kidding?

    What about the draft picks that are playing 30 minutes per game? Sengun is playing 28 minutes he came from Europe. His up 6 minutes per game? They don’t want him to burn out. Going from playing Turkish league to playing 82 games.

    It’s like people don’t even want to add context into anything on this forum.

    What I said.

    You have minutes only for certain players.

    Didn't think my sentiment was wrong.

    How do you expect, 6-7 guards to play when there is only 96 minutes at the guard spots?
