    Wasnt the point of getting KD is that he was so good he was the closer in close games. Now its ime's fault he cant do that lol He's so good that a double team cripples him lol You guys are ridiculous. All I can do is laugh. Cant wait to get a new coach and see this all happen again.

    Maybe ask IME why he chose to trade Jalen for him. Ime is the one who traded for kd btw. That was a 100% ime trade.

    I mean what can go wrong with tying ur wagon onto a 37 year old horse if it costs u only JG, Brooks, Maluach and 2nd rounders.

    All hail super executive Stone Cold Rafael.

    He cracked the NBA cheat code for Winning.

    **** Jalen, this is just Ime being stupid, you give the ball to Amen or Reed, when pressured.

    Not KD.

    There is zero chance Ime is fired, therefore there is zero chance the Rockets are a threat in the playoffs. He will get out-coached like last year with relative ease.

    He lacks the Creativity, and the assistant coaches are lacking the drive to be great other than perhaps Tiago Split Splitter, but that remains to be seen.

    Who in their right mind gives such an extension to a coach not named Poppavich, Steve Kerr, OKC Soccer Coach dude up here too, Phill Jackson? The dude you're giving this extension to was fired not just for incompetence, but gross unprofessionalism

    People wanting to fire a championship caliber coach are dumber than a box of rocks.

    calling Udoka a championship caliber coach without objective evidence to back that up is absolutely hilarious. When your team gets better after you leave (even wins a ring) that says a lot. The only other example is mark jackson

    Gee I wonder which guy I would rather put in those situations the one who is gonna be a Rocket his entire career and is learning or the grifter who is already causing trouble in the team and will be gone in a year or two but not before getting our coach fired and getting in the way of the young guys development.

    He has made it to the finals also KD just got two championship coaches fired so what does that moniker even matter?

    He made it to the finals and lost with a team that would have won if they had a better coach....so they went out and got a better coach and won a championship.

    Honestly it's just weird to see people STILL defending Ime despite such a large sample of his in game incompetence costing the team wins. Ime is a defensive assistant and nothing more.

    steve kerr owns this dude every single time. I believe rockets are still going to lose the series if they play against warriors in the first round this season

    I said last off-season that we should’ve let the Knicks sign Ime for a first round pick. At least 80% of this board said I was a moron. How many would make that trade now?
