Durant can’t handle the ball, bench Jabari. Reed needs to run the offense!
GSW curse lives on
Thompson played in pain but made defense plays. Jabari …. can’t go 0/8. He needs to work on driving/ posting in the paint if he can’t shoot. love Tari but he fouled and missed rotations in the 4Q. Lost track of Horford as he hit a late 3. KD was the biggest disappointment in the 4th. The turnovers, hesitancy against Draymond, and blown FREE THOWS is unacceptable given the KD files !!!
Rockets suck.Eason,Smith and Sengun great dissapointments .If they can win these Warrios when will they.I don't blame only Udoka.But these players are playing without heart wtf is their ego I was expecting professionals to play much better.Houston overpaid Smith and Sengun and offered too much to Eason.They don't deserve that kind of money
Could'nt throw a rock in the ocean is what my coach always use to say
Why are people delusional about who the rockets play in the first round? It should be pretty obvious by now that their offense is pathetic. 🙄 What's consistent is turnovers and KD and Alpi doing my turn your turn and throw in other players doing their own thing. Only time it looks decent is when Reed is running the offense. Reality is they are a first round exit. It's time to start thinking with yours eyes and not your hearts. Last year's team was frankly better without KD. Only difference is watching KD put up the great offensive scoring but it still turns into losses. Not even mentioning Udoka awful coaching decisions. First round exit. It's going to be ugly so get ready for it.
This coach refuses to use his bench players
You bums lost to a g- league team another 1st round exit
reed should start instead of sengun since reed is the better defender
I see Sengun's critics: Sheppard is not a playmaker, he focuses on shooting rather than making plays. No position is being prepared for Sengun. He scores points mostly with his own effort. Sheppard cannot defend. Sengun is expected to make plays, dribble the ball, distribute passes, score points and defend. As it is understood from the idiots here, Alperen Sengun needs to get out of the Rockets pit.
Fire Udoka. He puts a hard ceiling on the team. Reed has been the key to unlock this team but has been getting absolutely dicked around by a coach who has zero common sense and only thinks with ego.
Last year’s team was more fun to watch. Smith Jr out there laying eggs, Sengun NEEDS TO GO, and needs to tighten up on D big time. Bro was out there last night looking like a cone!
Half the roster isnt even nba caliber talent. GM ruined this team.
Reed Sheppard should play point and start.
The fact that they did not trade sengun is mine baffling to me. It's almost disgusting watching this dude play. ROCKETS SHOULD TRADE SENGUn, trash on defense and inconsistent offensehe's a hard watch.
I can definitely 💯 agree with you, the hustle is not there!!!! We use to have grit, ever since we traded Brooks our defense is not up to par. Our communication defense on the floor is piss poor! Sengun is not athletic at all, yes he is savvy at making shots but his flamingo 🦩 defense style is not going to take us far!!! Tari is over rated he makes unnecessary fouls during clutch time, why are we fouling on the neck!Jabari not consistent for what we are paying him. To sum it up we are a wishy washy TEAM. We are NOT ready to compete come post season! How we let Melton who suffer ACL injury out score us in the paint!! Ime needs to stop the Zone defense and let’s start guarding 1on1!!!! The centers to include Clint should never leave the paint you have one job to do and it’s to block buckets!!!! Sengun always has a habit of double teaming point guards. That’s the wrong answer!!! If our starters don’t start removing their heads out from their 4 points of contacts we are easily going to exit the 1st round of the post season. Rafael needs to do better of getting us solid role players come next season. We need a 10 men rotation In order to make it far in the post season we need a solid bench, we def don’t have that!! We’re NOT ALL FIRE 🔥 we’re ALL Mediocre!!!
I think Sengun has already reached his ceiling and he has been regressing lately, too many dumbass turnovers, stupid passed out the ball got intercepted, Eason sucks lately, Smith too, let an under men team beat you at your home court is embarrassing, WTF
REED SHEPPARD IS THE ONLY BASKETBALL PLAYER THE ROCKETS HAVE. THIS MF BE GOING 1v9 MOST NIGHTS BRO I SWEAR LETS GOOOO REED 1️⃣5️⃣
"Original line up" huh coach. I'm done hearing the defense argument! The Rockets were getting run up and down the court in the 1st by Draymond and his friends from the local rec! With Reed on the bench.
Senguin got to stop dicking around and shooting 3s. No clue when he spends so much on the perimeter when his game is inside paint. You saw he actuallly start scoring when he was pounding the rock on the inside. If only he didnt wait until the FOURTH QUARTER to start doing that. Bari was hurt so 0/8 wasnt a surprise. He wqs shooting well before the injury. Tari was betrer but still shooting sump. He got most of his points on put backs and layups. He should use that more. Durant was kind of a diva even tbough he is still consistently 50% fg. Dude gave up on a critical defensive play.
Overall team gave up in OT. Pathetic
This is not our year even stone has said
we be better and healthier next season
Playoffs shouldn’t matter right now
I saw Reed talking more to the assistant coach than Ime, sign off Ime getting fired in the off season, just speculating
The Rockets lost for a very simple reason…. Ime and Kd and Sengun refused to put the ball in Reed’s hands late when he was on fire the whole game. The Rockets were scoring almost every time Reed touched the ball on a possession. The offense started stalling and not scoring when they switched from letting Reed do his thing to going to KD and Sengun Iso ball. No reason to have Reed on the court in late games if they’re not going to use his offense and just park him in the corner because he’s not a lockdown defender on the other end. Reed’s value comes from scoring and playmaking and when you refuse to find him the ball, he becomes a net negative in late game situations. This is 100% Ime’s fault because you should be giving the ball to the hot man’s hands instead of diverting to something that hasn’t been working and going away from something that was working
Everytime reed goes off everyone besides Reed has a terrible game
Ime is a turd
Jabri can't shoot
Reed is not starting because his defense is awful. Reed starting is not a big problem, but he should be closing some games. Ime Udoka is a great coach; you can't coach effort, and the starters gave no effort until the end of the game.
Kerr somehow went away from his small 20 guard line up lol
Reed is the next Curry
Damn man, Eme's huge ego trip. It shows, he can't even get these guys to ball on a G league team the warriors put out there.
Because reed is white…they can’t handle another white player coming in and dominating.
Ime at McDonald's "I'll have the chicken nuggets."
Ime at the best steakhouse in town "I'll have the chicken nuggets."
Until the coach is fired, I am not going to watch Rockets any more. Insufferable :..
Unfortunately the coach is not making the right decisions. Mistake after Mistake.
Unpredictable team sorry to say that but we will never win NBA champions. Many players inconsistent even the coaches.
No chance to beat San Antonio or OKC in the play-off.
I have been Rockets fan for 35 years. Im so disappointed the way we play inconsistent.
