    I said it already, kpj is either going to sink or swim with Ime because what Ime brings targets Kpj’s biggest weaknesses. So I’m very glad to see the respect that kpj is showing, if he’s willing to be coached hard he’s going to blossom.

    Say what you will, shooting wasn't exactly Porter's problem.

    Am I the only one who noticed Tilly having a hard time answering when he was asked how Stone has done so far? He really didn't endorse him per-se! He just said that Rafael was always around when he talked with Morey .... blah,blah,blah.... straight answers...blah,blah,blah! The honeymoon is over for Ralphie, time to put up or shut up!

    Go Rockets!!!

    "I resent that. Why, at my restaurants we use the finest ingredients purchased at Aldi's and Food Town ....if that isn't commitment, well, maybe we WILL move the team to Louisville, Kentucky after all!"

    I straightforward hate the political correctness and cancel culture. It is so bitter and hateable to be asked about something you want to be forgiven and forgotten at the first few questions when you are excited to be interviewed for your new job.

    Just let me man work jackasses.

    On the one hand "we dont have bad shooters"
    On the other "we will spend some money on finding shooters"

    Ime is going to fit right in!

    Clearly The most important thing up next: Draft Lottery. Huge tell sign of what general direction this will all probably shift towards once the pick spot is revealed

    Y’all think they are replacing Sengun but the only thing I got from that was we need to get ready to welcome Cam Johnson.

    Give him a fat contract, take BPA at our top pick, and let’s roll.

    He said he wants high energy coaches, wait till he meets Lucas after him doing a few lines in the restroom.

    That was great, feel very confident about Ime, he handled that very professionally, candidly and with a nice dose of humor. Love the charisma and how he commands respect. Tilman was solid too, I don't understand the hate or ridicule, I loved his explanation of the phases and forgiveness. The only negative was to me that it's basically confirmed KPJ is Tilman's pet project. For all the negativity I felt towards Tilman, for the longest time I've been saying he's much better than Leslie to me.

    Very excited about what Ime can do for this team and high energy coaches feels like at least we don't have to deal with the incompetence of the dinosaur Hollins while a good chance we keep Abdelfattah, who is known for being upfront and he seems quite energetic too. Lucas might stay just based on his energy or what feels like being untouchable given he's part of the organization for so long now.
