    Watching the total 4th quarter collapse against the Spurs, it is obvious we need serious help at the pg spot. Amen run out of gas, and Reed can beat his man if guarded by good defenders.

    Let some other team pay for Jabari's services. He aint worth it.

    This needs to happen.

    Jabari blew every chance he had tonight. 2 terrible turnovers to start the 3rd quarter, multiple bad early fouls to get the Spurs into the bonus early, and bricked every shot after the 2nd quarter. He has an okay game every 5 games now. Tired of this.

    For Jabari, they'll only trade old bicycle wheel , a plastic laundry tub or Playstation 2 gamepad

    The Rockets desperately need a real point guard. Though I still dont think that would make us contenders and having KD here for a 2 year rental is a huge waste of time.

    Should be more mad at the bench, honestly

    Spurs bench outscored Rockets bench 38 to 14

    Spurs bench, 18-33 FG
    Rockets bench, 6-22 FG

    Rockets starters certainly could have done better. But they need the bench to hang in, and they didn't do it

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    We don't need to blow up the young guys a PG won't matter if everyone stands around trying to get KD the ****ing ball - San Antonio did what all the other teams have done pressure the ball and we collapsed because IMe has no clue, and leaves our guys hanging out there on their own.

    The bench is basically Reed because the team is infatuated with players who can only play defense.

    I know that this is part of the KD playbook of disapointment in coaches BUT I found out today that we were 3rd in the league in taking contested jumpshots. That could be because we dont have a point guard but it also could be the system. So at this point people wanting to get rid of Ime I say fine its his fault for wanting KD here in the first place.

    Jabari also a complete nothing. He might be as well apart of the bench too.

    Another scorer opens up the court. The last time they played the Spurs, Reed was opening up the court. And when you're scoring, your defense intensity is different and vice versa. Ime said as much in the Postgame Interview.

    This team needs a CONSISTENT SCORER in the worst way and Reed is not it. I have never in my life seen a player get pick on that much. San Antonio went at him every time down court in the 3rd and 4th Qtr. He is almost UNPLAYABLE

    This is true tonight, some other nights too. Udoka is just going through the motions. He should be fired after this season if the Rockets want to go somewhere.

    A good pg will help tremendously by just breaking down a defense. Ime could also help the team by hiring an offensive coordinator. Ime is clueless on that end.

    That and learn to build a team. You can’t have a bunch of “ball in hands to move” type players on a team and expect to do something. The system is weak AF and the players don’t really care. It’s the front office/coaching, decision making, etc. ruining some real good, glue type, talent.
