we want coach mahmoud now!!
i think lucas is better
KJ player of the game🤷🏽♂️
Silas for sure I think will get fired, but I said EG was for sure going to get traded for 2 years now. So till I actually see I'll believe it. Also half of the blame goes to Stone for not giving our rookies any real vets and this rooster construction that has had gaping holes for 2 seasons now. You know EG and Boban aren't the type of vets to tell them like it is. Who can they actually go to for advice or yell at them when they're doing stuff wrong. We desperately needs vocal vets like a haslem or a pat bev.
We've long heard that Drose is available, and he might be the type of vet we actually need that players will actually listen to, but we def need more then just one vet.
This whole team is a let down. Jalen not taking the jump like I thought he would but I think that’s part of the Point guard issue. I’m over the KPJ point guard experiment. Jabari just looks none athletic. The coaching not holding no one accountable. EG still on this team. I’m over it. All of it.
I feel like Silas just didn’t want to be out there and be embarrassed for the 5th straight game
As a long time Rockets fan, last night was most definitely hard to watch. I didn't even do my traditions for the game. I knew how it was going to end from the 1st quarter. But I don't like everyone blaming the coach. He's not the one making all the turnovers and missing shots. I'm sure that he would like to bench EG, but it looks like the front office will have something to say about that. We have three rookies in the rotation. I can't wait till Tate comes back….if he's not starting over EG it will be comical. Thanks for the player award because somehow I made it through the end 🤔
Yep its def time to move on from Coach Silas
Silas has had a rough go….He thought he was inheriting future hall of famers who were contenders. Then instantly gets thrown into Harden trade demands. Now fast forward to this year this man lost his inspiration and the guy who meant the most to him while dealing with media scrutiny and taking all the blame as if we have roster. Tank for Wemby and make some moves by the trade deadline.
I want to see EG get traded and see how the team looks from there. Maybe with EG and Silas gone we can get a soft reboot for the team🤷♂️ I really like this young core and don’t want to see them all go.
…so they scored more pts once silas left…..
That game was just sad to watch man it’s clear that Slias can’t coach this team and he needs to go and this is also on Stone for building this roster and getting players they don’t fit together. If Stone doesn’t get his shit together he needs to go as well
@jackson is there anyway to do a rockets watch through Twitter spaces? I cannot access the current rockets watch app.
This team is playing basketball as if they're in the first year of rebuilding but in fact its the 3th season already. Maybe next year -adding some first round picks and glorified FA's – the team will play to win. I doubt whether it does seem that way unluckily.
SS should definitely end the season as coach, probably not getting a new contract and starting the year fresh with a whole new coach staff will only delay the growth of this team further. Unless it comes from within, this team is lacking in experience on A LOT of levels from top on down, and not only that to have super spoiled fan base that just came from winning culture, to rebuilding. It is unfair the level of pressure to be doing well. All I would like to see is more fight on the floor, as a fan all you can ever ask for is effort and SS and JL, showed that. its time everyone else followed suit guys want to sleep walk bench them if you need effort put your most active 5 on the do it they already loosing games when your starting 4-5 of your starting 5 is 22 and under what can we really ask for other than effort?
This front office is really bad too not just Silas it’s just a real bad situation all around.. there’s no reason EG should even be here much less playing over 30 MPG, Matthews, Nix, and Boban shouldn’t be here either and Garuba should be in the G league
He's fed up with the refs and I'm not mad at him. Every single night the refs are against us. Home or away. That shit gets IRRITATING.
I think the system and culture is so bad rn that it doesn’t matter who’s on the roster – we will stink
