https://www.si.com/nba/2022/01/04/rockets-need-culture-change-kevin-porter-christian-wood Rockets Need a Culture Reset Houston should move on from disgruntled players Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood. Chris Mannix Houston absorbed its eighth straight loss in Philadelphia on Monday. Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood didn’t play. Don’t worry—they’ll be back on Wednesday. One game. One game. That’s Porter Jr.’s punishment for quitting on his team at halftime of a double-digit loss to Denver. That’s right: When the going got tough, Porter Jr., the Rockets’ starting point guard, literally hopped in his car and got going.
all this for the worst team in the league - who is tanking and has a fall guy coaching? So much drama for nothing.
look at the enemies wanting to dismantle rockets talent... cant remember mannix tweeting maniacally when silas quit on the team and broke the winning streak and reinstaling thesis into linup.... silas also quiut multiple other times... so if you are a perpetual quiter you good! and if you quit once then you are a problem....
Agree completely. Rockets look and feel more like a team without the two troubled players. Thats what we need. That is how teams are successful. Completely devoted to winning and playing basketball. I actually enjoyed the loss against philly. We played tough. We hung in there. Despite coming up short we didn’t lose to selfish play, dumb turnovers, and lack of effort. We simply aren’t talented enough. I can live with that. Cut the two.
his celtics in fact need the culture reset....they on the mediocrity threadmill for decade now....despite having everything in their pocket, the media, the refs, the stars, the picks , the coach, the GM... go reset your self manny!
so silas again is a great coach just lacks talent?? how convenient he either benches or suspends the talent he doesnt know how to use perhaps if he knew how to use them they wouldnt even quit.... he is in fact selfish and cant stand the white boy being the best player and MVP amongst so many talented players of his own people...
FYI Chris Mannix is also the guy that was adamant we NEED to play Wall because anything else would not be fair. He’s trying to get interactions people, he knows how beloved KPJ and hated Wood is.
Yeah because they are just not trying to lose? It was said it was going to happen before the season and was said by many people here. It is what is happening now. Now people with the conjecture of what is happening blah blah blah.
Say what you want about Mannix, but he's spot on in this case. I'd move on from Silas too, but maybe that's just me.
KPJ is a knucklehead. PERIOD. Wood is a decent player putting up numbers on a terrible team. All of this is nothing new, you move on from both when you're ready to win.
