    The other two need to reach 38 to get close to the same amount of respect, if any at all.

    Fresh blood on the bench is fine if it’s players you drafted and you want them to push the rotation guys for minutes. But if you are filling out your roster with undrafted 20 year olds, you really are getting garbage. These guys are pros that know their role, and it will be good to see them get a ring.;)

    It appears we just re-signed our best point guard from 2024-25.

    Thanks for your opinion, not fact.

    They lost because the A1 scoring option (that was inherited) scored <10ppg in 3 games during that series. That issue has now been fixed.

    Facts: He received multiple COY votes and now has the second best vegas odds to win the championship next year.

    Not many people share your opinion that he's incompetent given this team over performed based on pre-season picks. You can hate on Udoka, if you like, but "incompetence" doesn't seem like the correct adjective.

    rumors been circulating of evidence that Unc is the only known human to have made contact with aliens back in 1932

    the government needs to release the Unc Files

    Let me know where you are going to find 3 quality players like these at the end of the bench. Garbage title, OP.

    Great example of why it's important to watch games, rather than watch statistics.

    Being upset about minimum guys at the end of the bench and calling them “garbage” is wild. Plenty of times these guys have stepped in and produced for the team.

    I know it's hard for some to understand that a coach can be good at one thing while completely incompetent at others... but that doesn't change the fact that they can.

    The roster was horribly mismanaged all season prioritizing meaningless regular season wins over developing a team that could win when it matters. Then in the playoffs the Rockets won every game they played an expanded rotation and lost every game they stuck to an 8 man rotation not counting garbage time.... guess what Ime went with in game 7?

    Sorry, he's just completely terrible at player management. It is what it is.

    These guys actually show up.The problem is Ime doesn't know how to do situational subs. He completely forgets about them until is forced by injury or something

    Holiday is not garbage, he can shoot better than most guards on the market and he plays defense . Tate plays defense and Green provides leadership.

    Jeff was underrated last season. I'm surprised he didn't get more time. I'm cool with Holiday and Tate as long as they aren't getting minutes over Reed.

    In the Les and JVG era this guys would be infinitely better starters along side Tmac. They're much better than Clarence, Padgett, Juwan, Lue, Derek rod,...

    The title is kinda harsh. They've been professionals in their time here, helping out the young blood. If you ask any of the young cores, I'm sure they don't appreciate their Vet teammates being called that by the fans.

    Right? Just so disrespectful. Those guys deserve better. Hope @Snow Villiers considers changing it.
