November 18, 20214 yr If this year is supposed to be developmental, how on earth does Sengun only get 5 minutes last night? Just makes no sense.
November 18, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, Macklemore said: Tilman and Stone would be committing Cal McNair level negligence in running the team if they keep Silas past this year. They need to fire him midseason. Hornacek or Lucas can’t be worse. I spent money on League Pass to watch the Rockets because I thought they’d be entertaining. This by far and way the worst basketball I have seen. I can handle losing during a rebuild but I want to see young players develop and see that they’re being coached and developing skills running a well coached offense and defense. You’re seeing none of that. I’m really disappointed in Silas. I had heard good things about him as an assistant and thought we’d be getting the type of coaching and development you see with the Mavs. I agree it feels like watching sark not develop anyone every week and end up losing to Kansas. I’m all for a firing at the end of the year.
November 18, 20214 yr The handling of Silas will be a test for Stone. As it is becoming more apparent that he is not the guy (it was obvious to many of us here when that he was the incorrect hire from the get go), will Stone do the right thing and make a change so that these young players actually develop or will Stone let Silas's contract simply run out? Of course the hand of Fertitta also has the potential to meddle. Edited November 18, 20214 yr by UDontKnow
November 19, 20214 yr So last night they got their ass kicked by a shitty OKC team and they had an average age of 27.5 and an average weighted by minute age of 29.5. So fucking stupid. The point of being bad is to get guys reps and develop them as much as possible. It be the worst team in the league without developing your kids and figuring out your core. From one of the smartest orgs to one of the dumbest in 3 short years. Ferntits is the worst.

Silas had a reputation for player development in Dallas. That is why it’s shocking to see what looks like absolutely no improvement in any of the players. This guy is doing long term damage to the rookies. Fertitta sucks but Stone seems pretty smart and made some great moves during the draft. Hope Green pans out but he definitely maximized value. Picking Silas as HC was a mistake that needs to be fixed immediately. Edited November 19, 20214 yr by Macklemore
November 20, 20214 yr this team will have the worst record of all time, probably won't win 5 games all year.
November 22, 20214 yr Why the fuck is some scrub named Garrison Mathews getting more PT than Brooks and/or Christopher? Lulz at Eric Gordon getting 36 minutes. Fuck Silas is clueless.

November 23, 20214 yr We will definitely have the most ping ball balls which doesn’t guarantee the number 1 pick. Next season might be as bad so another one could be on the way. 3 straight top 3 picks should get you in the right direction for a new coach to take over.

I posted last year on here and clutch fans that they needed to trade wood when his value was highest bc he didn’t match any time line as we were going to suck for 3 years. I got crucified on clutch fans. They are a collection of paint chip eaters. When I bumped the post to point and laugh yesterday I had some dude come after me as crazy for saying this was a 3 year tank. I was like bro- that was written last year. Year 1 in the bag. Year 2, right now, is ass. I can’t imagine we won’t suck next year as well. We need to try to be good after next year when Wall and Gordon come off the books and we damn well better not add a dime of future money to move either of them.

Trading Wood at the deadline last year or after the season would have been a smart move. I think Stone redeemed himself well with the last draft class, but this guy is still learning on the job.
November 23, 20214 yr I bet wood is moved this deadline but right now he won’t get us more than a second rounder or late first. I think we’re stuck with Gordon and wall unless a team gets super desperate which is always possible.

If they give up an asset to get off their contracts or take money that lasts into 2023 I will be pissed.
November 25, 20214 yr Author i mean seriously, this guy has played 1o minutes, is 4/6 and has 11, 4 and 2.
November 27, 20214 yr Author looks like john wall is going to come back. i don't really have a problem with it as he's not going to suddenly make the team not suck and playing with him could be a good thing for the development of green and kpj.

November 28, 20214 yr I don't have ATTSN. I guess it's good that I don't... But I do want to see these guys play a few.
November 28, 20214 yr team plays better without Jalen Green, especially 3% which has been phenomenal the last 2 games. He can't shoot, is selfish and a TO machine. If the Rockets will trade their best player or two every year (wood, wall), I'm open to let Green go too.

So you’re ready to get rid of a 19 year old who has played all of 18 NBA games for the worst team in the league? Idiot.
November 28, 20214 yr Shooting % especially 3pt % has gone up as well as TOs going down the last couple games. Directly correlates with increased mins for both Matthews and Brooks. Gotta have shooters to compete nightly these days. Looks like a couple have finally made the rotation and its made a significant difference. Neither seem to be complete liabilities defensively either...or at least from the sample size seen.

Tank Commander returning to duty, sir!
November 29, 20214 yr 2 hours ago, Murfdogg21 said: Tank Commander returning to duty, sir! Wall played in the Rockets last 27 games last season. Team record was 3-24! Yeah him playing isn't going to effect the team's overall record much if at all. Play him here and there sparingly, especially when you have a top end rotation perimeter player out for a few games like you have now. But wouldn't commit to anything permanent from a role or playing time standpoint. Seeing him out there could end up benefitting both the player and the organization, if there's any chance there's a team/gm out there giving a trade even a smidge of consideration...as long as he doesn't end up injuring himself and then you're F'd!!!
November 29, 20214 yr Silas is going to start him and play him 30+ minutes. This is such a horrible fucking decision.
November 30, 20214 yr Lol the opening is great.. let’s light that fuseeeeeeeeeee then it’s a camera shot of 35 people in the stands. I’m dying.
November 30, 20214 yr There's a real chance that this 3 game win streak will end up being a 6 game win streak. scares me to death

November 30, 20214 yr The FO is super confusing. 1. Are we tanking? 2. we were 1-16 which would be tanking 3. fire Silas because we’re losing? 4. I’m fucking confused at what they are wanting?
December 1, 20214 yr They took away the last rebound that Porter got so he no longer fucked around and got a triple double.
December 2, 20214 yr Again I’m confused. I thought we wanted to tank? FO want to win now and get a lower pick? That can’t be their plan but I don’t expect much from these guys.

That can’t be their plan but I don’t expect much from these guys. Young guys are starting to find their footing and gaining confidence now that they've found some consistent shooting/spacing. Last night no Green or Wood/KPJ for most of the game, focused in defensively (really went to a zone to keep SGA & co. out the paint) and gutted out a 15 pt come from behind W! It was a pleasant surprise to see them compete on that level. Tate was a man-child as well! FO, better send down orders to Silas to keep Matthews and Brooks out of rotation if they want to keep losing games imo...they've been key to the improved play.
December 2, 20214 yr There is no difference between finishing with the worst, 2nd worst, or 3rd worst record as far as getting the #1 pick. Since the Rockets don't have to worry about draft positioning this year. Just finish in the bottom 3.

Slight benefit of finishing with worst record is you can pick no worse than 5th but if you finish 3rd to worst you could end up all the way down at 7
December 3, 20214 yr I want #1. Banchero or bust. However, there are some nice consolation prizes. Edited December 3, 20214 yr by TonyTexas
December 4, 20214 yr We're on a 5 game win streak, and if we beat New Orleans on Sunday we will jump them in the conference standings.
December 4, 20214 yr Longest active win streak, baby! Sadly Green has nothing to do with it so the wins are of negative value. At least Sengun is getting some minutes.
