The Ime Udoka Problem Isn’t What You Think

1. Alperen Şengün is the one to blame. Alperen Şengün didn’t have 1st 2nd 3rd all team performance. Alperen Şengün hasn’t shown development in the postseason. You can’t talk about championship team if Alperen Şengün can’t win a playoff series against broke down Lakers team. Alperen Şengün should average 35 points 11 rebounds at least against the Lakers. Alperen Şengün needs to be traded.

2. Ooh, I do like that term "Possession Maxing". I actually believe in that system, I do not believe there is just one way to win in the NBA. In fact, I think most teams, coaches, and entire franchises are not very bright, they just copy what everybody else is doing. I give the Rockets a huge amount of credit for not doing things like everyone else – I think it is the best way to try and win a championship without having the best players. The rest of the NBA is doing it different than you and everyone else's defense will be designed to stop them, not you. Now what I do not like is their collective reaction to loosing their two main cogs in this "Possession Maxing" system – Fred VanVleet & Steven Adams. They even said it at one point – "well, it just isn't our year". No! At the very least you play your guys to learn different systems adequately and become more versatile. They did try Amen at point, that was a good thing to do and find out just what he could do – but I think they botched the Reed Shepard experiment. Maybe I'm wrong here, maybe it was overwhelming for him and they had to ease off the minutes, but I don't really believe that. Once the Amen experiment was done I would gone all in on Reed even if it lost some games. Maybe that's what they were afraid of, you guys complaining about Reed. You know they do have to listen to the fans a little bit during the season or they WILL lose their jobs. But I don't quite buy into that all the way. They could should have been more innovative, they should have tried more things, and more than anything else, I saw a lot less hustle and focus. I think that came from the top not the bottom. Now I may be the only one willing to say this, but I cannot say the KD trade was a success. In fact it was a mess, I think it let them get lazy, when you have a guy like KD in the lineup it is too easy to just sit back and watch, especially if you get vibes from the top that it was a throw away season. Since the playoffs, I've been reevaluating everything I think about the Rockets, especially Udoka – I can't believe that was a Udoka team on the court against LA. So, at first I was mad at him, now I;ve cooled off and decided we aren't helping him out enough. I absolutely buy into the not standard strategy of "Possession Maxing". And if Udoka needs Jaylen Brown – go get him and I now think you should trade KD to do it. Now it may be that you can work KD into the "Possession Maxing" system, because he is a bucket, but not if it sacrifices the defense and the rebounding. I'm willing to wait and see how they do once Fred and Adams are back and how the system meshes with KD in the lineup. However, we are very dependent on those two guys and the injuries are an indicator they are getting old. The window for this system is closing rapidly – it may have already closed. If it has we will have to do have at least a partial rebuild. They do have a solid core of young guys, whatever you do – do not sacrifice those guys for the short term. They give you a decade to mix and max players and strategies to try and win a championship..

3. IME is not a good coach, out coached many times, blames players but takes no responsibility, the guy is a walking EGO, over values talentless hustle players like he was, hustling in regular season wins some games but not enough for play offs.

4. At the 7:00 mark, someone FINALLY told the truth! This roster is horrible. Ive been saying this for the longest…..the roster does not fit! Sengun and Reed do not fit, we lost athletes when we lost Jalen, Whitmore and Brooks. We need players who can dribble and shoot

5. Ime is a championship coach

6. AGAIN…
   🏀KEEPING IT REAL!
   *The GM & Coach already knows whether Reed Shepherd is less than or more than advertised…
   *Reed Shepherd is Good, not Great!
   *He's BEST as a 6th-man type, (playing the PG/SG)!
   *I say: R.Shepherd's game is closer to Matt Maloney than a Mark Price!
   *Note: Probably, Reed will get better, but a significant LEAP…?!
