ESPN’s JJ Redick Calls Houston Rockets Dysfunctional While Warriors Draymond Green Praises Coaching
Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by weekly cohost Rockets Wire Editor Ben DuBose (@BenDuBose) to discuss the commentary from both ESPN’s JJ Redick and Warriors star Draymond Green about the Houston Rockets rebuilding process, where both guys actually come to different conclusions about the state of things in Houston. Why is there a recurring trend of national media sharing negative thoughts about the Rockets, does Houston have a “perception” problem around the league, parallels between current Rockets and the bubble Phoenix Suns, why did Draymond arrive at a different conclusion than Redick and more.

I'm sorry but Silas is not the issue, we don't actually have any real issues because we have been tanking on purpose, so make these complaints make sense
I know how spoiled this fanbase is. Even if we get our dream coach Udoka, theres always gonna be something we dont like. Give it 2 years and most will want him gone
It’s easy to throw the word Dysfunctional around when a team is struggling and rebuilding, but that’s not an accurate way to describe the rockets. We’re taking a natural course on our rebuild, we’re not a dysfunctional organization
Let me also add, that Jabari be acting funny towards Josh and Jalen. Jabari showed all through 2022 Summer league games, that he was only rocking with TYTY and Tari. And was clearly ignoring Josh at times.
And as Jabari stated, Tari and TyTy are the only ones who have his back. 📊
Also. I agree with Jackson. I don't think Victor will be good going to the rockets.
I think Victor going to the rockets will be a big mistake, because their is too much social dysfunction going on with the teammates.
The spurs have a similar record and are coached by popovich. Would anyone say they're dysfunctional or badly coached? The rockets have kids on their team. If anything, stone needed to add more veterans.
Notice how they didn’t bring up Jalen 😂
People need to keep us out their mouths. Yes, we've had our fair share of problems, but I think it's being addressed this off-season. We need a strong minded/Vet hard nose coach to come in. I'm telling you Udoka would fix these issues! Get him before someone else does! #Udoka4Rockets
Hi
Thing is what development have we seen? It appears like there has been none! Silas has got too go! Stone better not fuck this up! Also maybe the NBA won't let Wemby come here. Shit I can definitely see that happening behind the scenes
Bring in Draymond in the off-season!! He would get these guys in line!
I just hope our core group (JG4, KJM, Sengun, Bari, and Tari) hear what some of these pundits are saying about them. The insinuation that the Rockets won't be relevant unless they get Wemby. Like none of the players can develop into an all-star in the future.
I don’t see any players or coaches talking about the Pistons rebuild or OKC or Spurs or Orlando 👀
Draymond seems to like this team. Free agent??
Without listening to the video I'll say I've heard everything there is to say about the Rockets. JJ is right and Draymond is sugar coating the whole thing. I don't know why he did that. What Stone is doing to our franchise and the fans is downright ludacris because of his incompetence as a GM. He has fooled Fertitta into letting him tear down a perennial Championship contender. The biggest victim are the players who are put in a position to fail. They are denied what they need to improve and their basketball careers are stunted and possibly derailed to a degree. Losing on purpose is CHEATING! So our Rockets brass are CHEATERS! Stone for sure. Silas instructed to lose and not teacher our players to win. Jabari learning how to shoot again from his father. Not a Rocket's coach. If Adam Silver were half a man he would have stepped in already and put a stop to this debacle. I'm going to bitch about Stone until he is gone or the Rockets have a winning team.
KEEP MAH TEAMS NAME OUT YA FUKIN MOUTH!
I agree with JJ and I’m glad he called out his own co-host for having poor takes. I also agree with Draymond. I don’t think he should give Silas credit for KJ and Tari trying to figure things out. That’s more of a compliment to their professionalism. But I get why he gave Silas props. That was his old coach.
Man, whenever I listen to a podcast and I'm digging all the information I'm getting, and then I hear them say, "When James Harden comes back", it just takes away all the validity. James Harden is not to to come back to this bunch of foolishness and fix everything. Even if we get Victor. I will tell you if somebody hires Mike D'Antoni there might be a small chance Harden would go play for him if James has given up on getting a championship
I like that Lionel Hollins jumped KPJ's a$$ for stopping his play when Jabari passed the ball to Sengun and not him. Our voices are being heard. Hold players accountable.
JJ dont know what hes talking about, he still mad he couldnt get to Houston during the 15-18 seasons
I hope they keep Silas
What coach would be free next year for us?
Hey, Rocket's just signed DJ Augustine for the rest of the season. Good guy. He lost his jump shoot last year but can be that veteran presence at point guard. I wanted Ish Smith or George Hill. Augustine was with us before and maybe we needed someone else to come in to learn from but I have to say I don't hate this move but I'd rather have a veteran presence that can still play.
🗑🗑🗑
The Rockets know exactly what they are doing. We are clearly tanking to possibly get the best prospects since LeBron James. (Pray for Victor) anyone who will want us to win this year clearly shows why you are not a GM in the NBA. I will be just as happy if we draft Brandon Miller and slot him next to Jabari Smith as I think together, they will be the best young tandem forwards in the NBA and I’m willing to bet my Rockets will take the biggest leap next year out of all of the losing teams, and then the people that’s calling us dysfunctional will be praising us as if they forgot that they said that.
I hate opinions from those who don't follow the team.
