Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) discusses and reacts to the Houston Rockets ugly 122-117 loss at home to the Charlotte Hornets who were without LaMelo Ball for the second half of the game. Why it feels like it’s time to move on from head coach Stephen Silas, the ugliness of the loss itself with both teams playing some horrific basketball, Jabari Smith Jr. out with no timetable for return, trying to draw positives from the offensive performances of Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun and more.

Is it time for the Rockets to move on from Stephen Silas?
They aren’t trying to win. They won’t fire Silas.
I stopped watching Rockets game which helped me to get into a healthy life style…reduced blood pressure, and less stress
I don’t think he’s the ULTIMATE issue. You’re younger then some college teams. You’re undersized. You have no PG. Victor nor Scoot Henderson walks into the door and fix this situation. You need to trade for a Conley or a older vet PG that can walk this team thru the rough years
Trade gordon and tank to get the top 5 picks and maybe no.1 wenbe thats solve the defense in center position next year we have wembe maybe alpi green plus a veteran point guard plus 3 and d guy in the free agent market
Jackson is a defeated man
Silas is a great coach, when plays are ran through alp who does run them they mostly work, I think his plays are sometimes too advanced for these young guys but after the season I wish him the best of luck 🚀
Silas should be fired for sure, but Stone also should be canned. The KPJ experiment continues & Nix is his back up.
What happens if we get the 1st overall pick? What position would Victor play?
I got heartburn listening to this episode, Jackson you owe me a bottle of tums
TBH, I would strongly consider trading away Jalen Green. I know everybody is enamored by his potential but guys with his kind of "potential" are a dime a dozen. Hyper athletic and high hard basket-maker but also a bad shot taker and horrible decision maker. Not to mention he's possibly be worse on-ball defender in NBA history. Go see advanced defensive stats to confirm
You guys don't think at all. We obviously trying get 7'4. The real problem is Jabari sorry. And we got too many guys who need minutes to develop. And no we not getting Conley that's why KPJ the pg. And no Green not a SF. Damn yall slow.
I caught a cold yesterday, I blame it on the weakening of immune system caused by the tremendous amount of stress having watched all the rockets game this season😢
You can see from the players body language they have quit on Silas.Its time to move on really nice guy but this is the NBA an wins matter even more culture of just playing hard which they do not do anymore.
We’ve seen that JG leads and Houston lost, KPJ leads and lost, last 2 games Alperen leads and Houston lost again. We shouldn’t talk about players anymore. They proved that they all have talent, missing part is passion, aggression and tactics.
THEY ARE REBUILDING. AND WE DIDN'T HAVE KPJ.
I hereby deem Cloud Pi as the opposite of Cloud 9. It’s a cloud that has no end in sight and your always wondering when it will end
If they don’t get a top 2 pick after such a shameless and egregious tank, Stone and the entire front office need to be on the hot seat imo…
Stone is screwing us
SENGUN Go to Dallas or Cleveland Cavaliers
Most depressing segment I’ve ever heard from Jackson. Rock meets bottom
What is even the point of Garrison Mathews? The guy sucks, has no upside and has the ultimate tunnel vision.
I hate the mentality that tanking is the best option ( and to some the solution) even if the rockets are rebuilding losing to this extent its just bad ….
Even if the rockets did get wemby its going to be like taking a lion and putting it in the worst zoo in the country especially with this organization atm, ye sure it will get peoples attention and bring new people in but whats the point if he doesn't get the chance to grow? ( because the rockets seemingly don't know how to guide young talent )
(sorry for the analogy but you get the point)
A new head coach would be a good start, no more constant ISO like the rockets still have harden or a luka because most of the season so far its been like that ( gotten better but still…)
he gotta go, need a coach who has proven track record of improving and developing players as well as a coach in which players are held accounted for when playing like a bottom seed team. Quin Snyder??
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Fire everyone except for John Lucas
