    Yeah I genuinely believed they would win this series without LeBron.

    Marcus Smart has played better than any player on the rockets. Kennard. Ayton.

    I take it back, we aren’t losing 4-1. We’re not gonna get a game on these ****s.

    We’ve had a lot watch a lot of ugly offense in this town and this might be the worst yet.

    Man this team is very tough to be a fan of. Ime's lineup choices are freaking ridiculous, but also like every single player is somehow underperforming at the same time. At least if we lose we're one game closer to being done with this cursed season.

    Amen has to be on ball with this lineup. You can't park him in the corner or on the wing, it kills spacing.

    I think the players should just refuse to play at this point so Udoka can be fired before game 4. This is the greatest embarrassment is sporting history. It’s just not season over, organization might need a new owner. Just shameful

    Exhibit 273883 of why Ime needs to be fired.

    Poor Rockets fans. At least three more years of this garbage ass coach and zero gameplan 85 games into the season, before cheap ass tilman will eat the contract hahahahaha. What a pathetic worthless franchise. An embarrassment.

    The sad thing is….they have a built in excuse. No Adams, No FVV, and No healthy KD, this means they won’t address a damn thing this offseason….

    Very dumb and it led to a 3

    but we don’t have shooters and can’t score, gotta bite the bullet and live with the mistake. Can’t be subbing people out on 1 turnover
