    Soccer has water breaks now....are you pro or contra?

    Maybe get a Super Soaker water gun fight in there.

    Realistically if it was part of the game, managers would probably use it.

    No, I’m sure he has no idea what it is.

    If only we had someone as brilliant and insightful as you as our coach…

    I want to hopefully add to this thread….

    our whole organization is built on a single premise without any compromise. One way or one way. We have the smallest front office available and the coach staff is much the same. Successful without any room for error. This is great till it’s not. Errors when fixed are growth. Are the margins too thin to grow? Good not great. Better than most but not the best. Much like ownership’s other organizations.

    Real talk, if you were coaching against the Rockets… minimize KD and Alpe. (Most teams can’t do that so we will beat most teams)

    what’s the goal? To keep cost down and increase revenue by making fans think there is more? Play the same plays that aren’t working because that is what we do (no plan B). I saw more than in the past with Reed, Amen and Smith. I know we are also injured with key players, too.

    I get full when I eat at Saltgrass because it’s good and serves its purpose but it’s never going to be the best. Is this the real goal?

    Are my Rockets = Saltgrass

    The NBA Draft only guarantees you that you have a shot at being good or great......

    Nothing is really guaranteed.

    As a long time supporter, I witnessed that the Rockets sure love flaws.......they love being good with flaws.

    At least it ain't mediocrity treadmill. ;)

    I’m a fan without question but will always have questions.

    I know ownership wants me to shut up and listen

    Well he pretty much noticed everything we had concerns about so that’s reassuring

    That's a terrible idea, I rather it be 9 innings like in baseball... Each inning the team gets 3 chances to score and once those 3 chances are up the other teams tries until the end. It's the only way to fix the current system...
