    we got so screwed in the draft

    our tank was a failure, and that realization is so painful

    Can’t hit 3s like our competition and can’t stop the dumbass turnovers.

    I’m becoming convinced that missing FVV has ruined not only the turnovers but also the 3 point shooting. With a real floor general the ball gets passed around and guys get clean looks.

    Durant isn’t that guy
    Sengun hasn’t gotten better in 2 years
    Ime is trash
    Stone is a horrendous GM


    this team is boring and they suck. If they somehow make it out of the play in, they’re food.

    This team has basically just given up looking at their body language. So many chances to cut the lead down to single digit is and we decide to throw the ball out of bounds every time then let a guy go off for probably the nba record in 3s in a game off of mainly open looks

    Roster not good enough. 2 non shooters. No pg. no ball handlers. Durant Sengun Amen continue TO’s each game.

    Defenses sit back guard paint. Not rocket science. No pun intended.

    We're long past the point of being able to claim Ime is a good defensive coach.

    No good defensive coach deploys that putrid zone.

    No good defensive coach has this many flaws.

    That Boston team really, really, really did wonders for Ime's career.

    You don’t put energy into that at his age. And that’s the problem

    Ime has lost this team. Reminds me of that year where McHale got fired.

    When everything is hard it eventually catches up to you.

    Amen is 22, and Sengun is 23

    They can still become top 10 players. But it's relying on later development, not instant success.

    If neither of those guys do it, yeah, we're kinda f***ed

    This is the most frustrating rockets team I’ve ever watched. All the talent is there but we just can’t do ****…moments like this really show how much we miss Fred

    Man we’re a team without no identity… I’m not a fan of this team superpower being offensive rebounds. Nbabroad at said it a minute ago. If the team getting up and down the court, it’s a disadvantage for Houston. We can’t play fast, we can’t shoot.sees like we’re always the slower team to react and get to the loose balls
