    If it makes you feel better, the Rockets drafted Jalen Green in a 'good' draft.

    So it could be worse.

    Time for the young guys to show some pride and toughness or roll over. We will learn an important data point tonight

    I’m sure he could’ve sat some games during the season while being banged up. He just didn’t cause it wasn’t the playoffs and Ime wasn’t in the hot seat. He could be playing if they really wanted him to.

    I'm actually quite content with losing this series or even being swept if it means we get rid of Ime.

    Back to back years of losing in the playoffs to teams you are expected to beat .... that has to get it done.

    Our chances of winning dropped from 0.001% to 0.00000000000%.

    Ime is definitely not getting fired now. Actually, his job is being saved due to the narrative that we'll be fed "if we had a healthy FVV, Adams, and KD we would win...blah blah blah"
    Here's to a mediocre 26-27 season

    The way the article about it reads they had to go back to find the exact play he tweaked his ankle on. Like they didn't believe him because he finished the game.

    Maybe I'm reading way too much into it, but the man does seem to fade with pressure.

    “Not the ending we wanted. But we still had a really great year. 52 wins without Fred, Steven, Dorian.”
    “We just ran into some really bad injury luck. You can’t predict it, when they’ll happen, but just really unfortunate.”
    “Sengun will be the first to tell you he didn’t have a great series but you’re not judged by one series.”
    “We love our roster, we love our young core. Fred & Steven are trending in the right direction. Dorian will have a full offseason.”
    “But it’s also my job to look at the roster, look at what’s available, and what makes sense.”
    “Yeah, I fully expect Ime to be back.”

    Yep, crazy how he barely missed games all season to playoffs he is missing multiple games
    This hurts his legacy
    Looks like he scared of Lebron and scared to take another L
    Not a leader
