    Oh thats another thing Udonis mentioned...

    Talked about how when the entire team is struggling to shoot its usually a sign of the offense overall not working well.

    It's the coach, we didn't have this issue with MDAs Rockets...outside of that one Playoff game we shall not mention...but MDA's Rockets were shooting teams out of the building.

    The coach's mentality bleeds through to the team. His focus is on defense and toughness, which works for an underdog team that isn't talented and has no players oozing with skill...with an actual team with all-star talent though you need to be a lot more broad in your vision.

    How do you grab 23 offensive rebounds and score only 91 points?

    this team is unwatchable…seriously

    Start of season Rox players were shooting so well from outside, but it felt too good to be true.

    Amen was supposed to be a DPOY possibility. Last year's breakout year on defense is non-existent this season. The team really needs to get a real PG badly so these players can play their natural positions. Hell, even CP3 is an upgrade.

    Guys I cannot tell you how crazy this slump from Reed is. Reed looked like the second coming of Gary Payton and Steve Nash before DD declared him a "generational shooter" then he completely fell off a cliff... Im telling you I have seen nothing like it. LITERALLY THE NEXT GAME REED WAS ASS after DD said something.. and now Cam Whitmore is out for the season because DD killed him.

    this **** is crazy.

    Because KD was supposed to be the answer to last year's lack of outside shooting.

    He can barely play man defense which he's top 3 in the league at because we're playing zone defense so much.

    We've really neutered our guy. Having him playing out of position on both sides of the ball.

    It’s time to part away with Ime tbh, I would say Ime is great coach to elevate C Rated players to B Rated level but doesn’t know how to elevate B rated players to A rated players. Other than KD we got nothing but B rated players and league is so talented that bunch of B rated players are good for 11th seed in the West. I honestly believe if last years Rockets played this season we would’ve ended up around where Jazz are at. You cannot say Lauri and Keon is worse than Alpi and Jalen

    MDA at least admit he's terrible on defense so the team went out and hired a defensive mastermind.

    Ime will NEVER NEVER admit he's offensively inept.

    This team sucks. Offense is atrocious and our coach is approaching Kevin McHale levels of ineptitude
