Thank you for posting this! This off season going to be
š„
Oh My!
He seems oddly confident.
Pls let us get Vic.
Iām surprised Stone didnāt get fired too. Way more misses than hits.
Definitely a manipulative bastard, but he has made the most of little he had to work with. He made the most of the Harden trade.
He lost me talking about how great the culture is in the organization. Obviously Iām on the outside but you can see dysfunction.
Reporter took a jab at him with that first question lol.
Why did I think Rafael stone was a lightskin brother????š¤š¤š¤š¤š¤
Shiiid fire him too
Thanks for the post Jackson.
Thank you as always Jackson!
Honestly, He should be gone, too.
Iām a Rockets fan . Um , I canāt wait to see who the next coach is going to me . Um , I canāt the wait for the draft and hoping it all pays off in the end . Um , I like when Rafael Stone said ā Um , we now have lot of cap space and we are going to spend on veterans .ā
interesting not a single mention of KPJ… clearly a vet PG is something that the teams looking for
Coach Silas was dealt a bad hand, but he also did nothing with it. A good coach, a championship caliber coach, would've gotten good production and growth from these players. That didn't happen. Hope he gets another shot somewhere else.
Much experience, Oladipo might bring.
Guy is a zen master. I can smell it. This is all orchestrated. Watch how fast things turn around.
Stone serves us a masterclass of rearranging questions and dodging questions
Why the fck egeryone talking about how good he is as a human bla bla bla go and date him why the fck do you talk his personality . You americans are crazy. Dont be emotional in sport , jobs and vs
Future is bright
Sounds like mark Jackson is not out of the question …. Please hire Mark he is the one we need he can be the face of the franchise he will draw stars to come people will respect us again
Tillman: pray for Victor. š
Thanks Jackson. I don't like these questions and answer sessions especially with people who say a lot but nothing material. I do like how you ask the real questions fans want to know. Most of the media, especially in Houston is way too soft on the organization because they dont want to lose the credentials…keep up the good work…
Bro should have been fired. Boy can not see talent in the top beside getting lucky with sengun and eason he has missed out on Mobley Ivey Scottie even mathurin
Stone is a š¤”
Iām pretty sure that when GMs interview with a team, theyāre asked about their vision for the team, and this guy doesnāt have one? Thatās troubling.
A rebuild based on figuring things out rather than a vision or formula seems like a horrible way to rebuild a team.
I donāt agree with everything he does/says but itās rare to see someone in his position speak so candidly. I respect it.
Basically what I'm getting out of this as far as the draft if they can't get the number one pick and get Victor they're basically going to trade it if they can get a star player
Heās lying saying this team has best culture heās ever been apart of . If so they wouldnāt had fired Silas
NICK NURSE GET HIM QUICK
KYRIE IRVING GET HIM
This unqualified š¤” needs to go
Baby š¶ Face Gatlin Go Join Goofy š¤Ŗ Silas
Our next coach will be Udoka. Calling it now
Silas wasnāt the right coach thatās allā¦.
Was that the question alykhan wanted you to ask?
Dude is such a lawyer.
