    The coaching is literally Mchale 2.0. Maybe we do need a pg, because a pg would know how to run an offense and Udoka can go back to glaring at people on the sideline instead of being asked to do his job and actually coach this team.

    this team went from a fast break running team to having to appease to KD in the half court.

    i don't like it.

    This team is going to battle in the postseason no matter who they play. They’re not elite defensively anymore and their offense can be elite some nights and 180 the next. Thats why I said if you’re going to trade for kd then go all in. Go get Giannis or that next star. Because Alpi is already banged up and Kd is 37 years old. If either are missing handing in th e postseason, we re screwed . I think Reed amen and even Jabari are talented on offense but like I said since year 2 under Ime , i dont think Ime’s system maximize our young players offensive potential. We’re seeing it tonight and last game that these young guys can’t step up when one of the stars goes down. I love Tari. He’s probably my favorite Rocket but he and the rockets don’t see eye to eye and we have DFS who can do some dk what Tari does.


    Send Tari out with FVV contract for another bucket because I jsut do t trust Ime’s offense in the postseason. Even with Alpi

    I think Ime needs to do like his mentor one of these games and just sit the starters mid game.

    or we have been playing poor defense, TO’s, and can’t drive on them.

    He has not lost the team, the team is just lost and Udoka doesnt know how to score besides give the ball to KD.

    When Sengun was there he is the one making plays for everyone now he is out Udoka doesnt know what to do.

    Is this team better than last year? The young guys haven’t even take a step minus Reed.

    Everybody on the court feels like they should be handling the ball because thats what Ime told them.

    So now when we get rebounds nobody runs and everyone is looking to be a point forward.

    Watch everyone looking to get the ball instead of getting up court.

    Well they are at least playing with more energy.

    Won't fix the offensive issues but it's better than whatever that was for most of this quarter.

    There you go. Get up on them force them to drive. Force them to make decisions. None of their players can drive except booker

    The only thing we can hope for is the Suns run out of gas and get tired since they are on a B2B
