How do you feel about the Rockets hiring Ime Udoka?
Thanks JG
And good job by stone for hiring ime before Toronto interviewed him and thank you to Brooklyn for hiring Jacque Vaughn instead of Ime 😂
Next step is #1 pick. Pick wemby. Finish outside the play-in. And then sign jaylen brown. We don’t wanna trade for him! Give him the brinks truck.
Bro we don’t care bout what he did we all do it
Like the wise man would say: “Oh, my!”.
Now I can clearly see another reason Stephen Silas was fired
We got the best coach of all of them.. we finally did something in a timely manner.. we can only go up from here.. let's goooo!!!!#cominginhot #Lightthefuse
Udoka was my pick for HC
hiring udoka, outside of his coaching intangibles, is a smart move in potentially luring jaylen brown to Houston. Depending on how this postseason goes for Boston a trade could def be in the works in the offseason. Just hope stone doesn't get fleeced in some way if that's the case
🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾
I like it solid pick up
Go Rockets!!!!!!!
Mallika Andrews Faints
Yes! 🎉
No sorry franchise is hiring Ime
So we getting jalen brown also right?……
Told yall hired on Monday!
Ime was not my first choice but he was in my top 3. This was a huge hire by Stone and Tillman Ime is the perfect coach for us that’s going to get back to our winning ways and he going to hold our players accountable.
He going to be good for Jalen Jabari Tari (if he not part of a possible Jaylen Brown Trade) Sengun KPJ all of our young guys.
We gotten our head coach the next thing is to see where we fall in the lottery and see if we can make some moves in free agency things are looking up for us rockets fans
ERRDAY GANG
Everyday listener here Jackson wanted to know if you were doing the giveaway from the Rockets finalize still?
Love it
Ayee !! Let’s go!!
Im an every day listener. Have 4 kids reside in DFW. Listen on my daily commute to/from work. Welcome Ime
Love the hire udoka is going to get the best out of these young guys. Everyone’s defense will hopefully step up besides tari eason since he was our best defender
Milika is going to have a break down 😅😅😅
Congratulations. Kyrie is going to the Rockets.
Now, if we could just bring Is Jalen Brown, Trade for a Point guard like Monte Morris or Fred Van-Veet and draft nothing But great shooters and 7 footers.
