How did you feel about John Lucas' coaching in this game?
I like his style of coaching. Establishing a standard, then holding players TO that standard. It's important that players understand what is expected from them.
I like John Lucas on the staff, but I dnt know if he is the coach that can take us to the NBA Finals and win it.
Here for the ASMR cough and overarching lessons! Lol Hope the team retains the ball sharing and grit and grind mentality with Sengun, Green, and KPJ’s return.
Lucas as a interim at this point ain’t a bad idea
crazy how john lucas can win without the starters but silas cant do shit w full rotations fire silas
I think John lucid is a great motivator and old school… hold players accountable type of coach… but I think coach fatta is the jewel… I think he is the x and o’s guy‼️I think he can bring some fresh approaches to things… relate to the youngsters… but still hold them accountable… and jalen has a relationship already with him
Don't fire Silas, just switch positions or give Lucas more responsibilities
Silas is a great coach, I think he does what’s asked of him in developing these guys, but you can see the frustration, and his nice guy attitude doesn’t hold these guys accountable, but Lucas pulling guys out and setting an example speaks a lot mentally for these guys
Would love John Lucas to take over for the rest of the season.
It’s disrespectful putting Silas over lucas tbh
I like Silas but after seeing that game I don’t want to see him coach another rockets game ever again
KJ could’ve gotten on the phone with his daddy to beat up John Lucas but instead he played better good job on him
I like Eason! Fighting for every ball, can’t say same about JG unfortunately…
Silas was hired to lead a Harden-centric team, and that team would have needed a coach like Silas to allow the established players egos and talents to flourish. He has been a great coach to many for player development, so for that reason he is good, however team development is something he was going to have trouble with as a rookie head coach. It's easy to come in after anybody and shake things up by doing the opposite that the current regime is doing in order to create a feeling of real change, especially if it's not working.
When rockets fans get mad we won it gets me mad. Like do they not understand the lottery? At this point, we need to win as much as possible for the morale of these guys
Make Lucas the coach like yesterday!!
Usman Garuba hit two clutch three-pointers to keep us in the game. Neither Jalen nor KPJ would have made that pass.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they just tell Silas to take a leave of absence then have him decline his coach option so they don’t have to fire him
Maybe Jabari steps it up like all star break Jalen
❤🚀🤟🏾
These yougsters need a more dictator type coach. I agree with the experiment with change in headcoach.
Jabari really disapointed on the shooting. I think he should be held back to save energy for some training. Unless there is a monster scorer killing Rockets in a match he should not enter any match. This is not to punish the 19 yearold rookie but for him to figure out what is going wrong with the guidance of coaches.
Pistons were really bad in rebounding all the season and rockets were great. Near everything was good on pistons side but Rockets rebounding negated al those by itself.
I can not call these players as the Goonies that all the NBA players are top of the top players and be stars when oppotunity is given. But as it seems, even Rockets bench has the talent to be able to beat an NBA team.
KJ Martin… Man… How high can he fly?
Yes‼️
