    He should be. This is embarrassing.

    Tiago Splitter is likely a better head coach than Ime, things have gone down hill since he left. He was likely the one who made Ime look good.

    The Rockets are the laughing stock of the league and it's 100% Ime's fault... and yet his job is safe

    I didn’t even think of that. He has Portland looking good.

    He should be, sad to watch Tiago earlier tonight doing more with less.

    Ime doesn’t run sets, he can’t get his players in positions to succeed. Playing hard and giving 100% defensive effort only gets you so far. He’s been owned by JJ this series

    Team will never win anything with Udoka. He is completely incompetent as an offensive coach. He got lucky that Boston already had an established offense when he took over.

    Just an absolute joke, 2 postseasons in a row. He has no desire to improve the offense either, he just hopes for a bunch of offensive rebounds.

    if he is not, then we better get an offense coordinator, yes we are missing a pg, but how can it be that bad, even my mom who does not know how to play basketball can see the rockets have no clue what they are doing on the court

    Embarrassing. I guess there was a reason that he cheated on his wife.

    I hope that the ownership sees the real issue here and fires Ime if we can’t turn this around and win the series. In fact, at this point, I really hope that we lose so that this happens. We have seen this trash offense whole season and he hasn’t done anything about it. We can’t win in post-season with this type of play. We thought the issue last year was Jalen but truth is the only reason it was competitive was because Fred played out of his mind. The core issue last year was offense and even with KD the core issue remains the same.

    The Rockets shot 39% the first 2 games and failed to break 100 points.

    The clear solution to that is a lot more Josh Okogie

    Unfortunately, the narrative will be played if we had FVV and Steven Adams we'll be a better team.
    My argument is when getting our ass beat by 41 year old LeBron without Luka and AR-15!!!
    If Ime can't beat this team his ass should be gone by May 30th
