    I mean some of his recommendations to Stone just do not work.....he is like the Morey of coaches.....innovative in defensive areas.....bad in others.

    Morey was bad at communication and treating guys like assets and creating distrust.

    In his transformative years spoken, say 1st and 2nd year. But was mostly Fred and Dillon.

    Of course he isn't! Back to the Boston years he had Brown and Tatum staying in the corner while Marcus Smart Handling the ball the whole game.

    They should hire about 24 really hot trainers to attend every practice. It’s about the only way he gets fired.

    Rockets need to trade Reed out for sure.

    Ime is here for the long haul and he'll never trust him or play him. Whether you think he sucks or has potential doesnt matter. On this team its just not going to work.

    Stone just needs to make sure he fills the roster with Ime type players.

    Just go 100% that direction.

    HELL NO, Reed is our best offensive asset - he is the key to winning with Sengun.....

    You need to bench Adams and Okogie and go BEST OFFENSIVE PLAYERS play.

    Stone as Ime's boss should tell him to play REED...period.....and if he doesn't you ****ing trade everyone that he is starting over him away.

    I doubt that is going to happen. My guess is that Ime is viewed as more valuable than Stone. If anything Ime probably gets what he wants if push comes to shove.

    Reed and Sengun as centerpieces in a Giannis trade. Adams, Giannis, Kd, Amen, Fred is Imes dream.

    Well whoever thinks that is a ****ing moron!

    Ime can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag, he is one of the worst coaches the Rockets have ever had, he is worse than Silas because the team is better but he only plays defensive players and is ****ing up a talented roster with his stubborn 1990s style of ball.

    TERRIBLE - he is TERRIBLE...

    The only realistic solution is to have fvv back to cover ime’s weaknesses and get some reasonable offense. And then we need to get lucky to advance in the playoffs.

    What’s the issue with Udoka? I don’t fully understand.

    From what I see, our roster is just awkward.
    Amen, Adams, Sengun can’t space the floor.

    Tari Eason is always injured and DFS looks washed so far.

    KD is good but is being asked to do wayy too much.

    Smith i think will be fine. Has confidence issues but can shoot and play ok defense. Don’t expect too much from him.

    Okogie is a role player don’t expect too much from him.

    JD Davison is playing, why? Cause we have no other options

    Holiday, role player, don’t expect too much from him.

    sheppard is ASS on defense. Not his fault, but dosent seem to fit a KD timeline.

    all of this to say we NEED a PG, FVV injury has pretty much derailed this season. No control, no composure, missing his defense, missing his spot up shooting. All major things the rockets need were in a single player.

    Now that he’s gone, we’re playing like ass. No surprise too me.
