    Nothing good to say. Players look dejected and Ime’s just not doing **** to aid this slump.

    Yea that’s a head scratcher. I get why though.. we needed offense cause Jalen Green shrunk like a dried grape when it mattered. Good riddance.

    Ime needs to be better tho. He coaching like we have the best D and we just don’t.

    Its not him. He doesnt have anybody to run with him. Think about it, when he had Jalen and Cam, we were a different team. Now we look slow and lethargic. He's the only one running

    It’s taking all of my self-control to not make a thread just bashing this team. Lord knows we have enough of them already.

    But I think I’ve had enough for now. There are serious issues with this team that our coaching staff refuses to fix.

    KD has been good, but we’ve lost something important in getting rid of Dillon and Jalen. I’m sure FVV being out isn’t helping either.

    DFS and Clint, as much as I love Clint, have been a monumental waste of roster spots right now.

    We’re playing double bigs for NO reason.

    Ime isn’t doing a good job, the team isn’t doing a good job, and everyone needs to look in the mirror because when it seems like the FANS care more than the team, that’s an enormous issue.

    I legit believe that we are a bottom-10 team in the league right now, because anyone can beat us anytime. Prove me wrong, I guess…

    Ime: MOAARRRRRRRR

    This many losses to the worst teams in the league gets coaches fired.

    Ime should absolutely be in the hot seat.

    I personally didn't think we had a championship with Durant. I think he puts us in position. I've seen highs and lows with teams during the regular season, so as flawed as the team is in some respects, it really is a long season. I do think he gives us a chance, but you know, if the rest of the team isn't performing, KD is not that guy to get us to the promise land anymore. Sengun and Amen have to perform better in the clutch and the Rockets have to get their edge defensively.

    Because Ime is an idiot. He could've started Okogie. That lineup of him, Durant, Thompson, Sengun, and Smith Jr actually did pretty well most of the season. Or even start Reed.

    But no, he decides instead to go with our third string PG because......I don't even know the justification.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    We got old and slow, and we don't compete anymore.

    KD is fine but we need to move away from him as primary option.

    We play guys like Holiday over number 3 pick and best 3pt shooter in Reed when we need to make a comeback.

    We play 2 centers who can't jump, we literally have a coach who can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag.

    And a GM who took a young and aggressive competitive team and ****ed it up....

    We ain't getting anywhere close to beating the champs, heck not even the 2 seed for sure until some changes are made. I'll even bet you that Ime is going to blame the team for effort and not owning up to his own ****
