More Rocket polling - Ime among least impressive coaches in the league

Don't forget the huge pull of coming to the Rockets that lil Patty Fertits will parade to free agents:

"daddy won't do much for you, but Ime will throw you under the bus after every game, so, hope that's ok with you"

Geez. How appealling.

And people on Clutchfans used to cry about Morey "tReAtInG pLaYeRs lIkE aSsEtS"

 

The same organisation who knew their point guard wouldn't play a game this season, then proceeded to watch up until the trade deadline the importance of a point guard, then hit the snooze button during the trade deadline, then said who cares about this season? That same organisation you think cares about pressure when there's none from ownership because they're content with being garbage?

 

no these people don’t. Celtics is one of the top if not the top ISO teams and they shoot teams out the building. That’s how they win.

 

He was talking about Mazzula who only won with a star studded roster but underachieved the 3 other years but somehow he’s seen as a God. As I said before do you people actually think Udoka couldn’t win a championship with 4 all stars/former stars with a stretch 5, elite point, elite 2 guard and SF and 5 shooters starting?

 

I never said Mazzula was a god. He won and Ime didnt, he literally overhauled the entire offense. People act like it was a given that Mazzula would win and it wasnt. Its not as easy as you seem to think to have a dynasty as well. The NBA is going through one of its most competitive stretches and the reason Ime didnt win is because at that point he couldnt win on talent alone he needed a better offense. The Rockets had the second to lowest 3 point attempts per game in the league. It was our lowest attempts in something like 13 years. Its anti analytics and it bites him in the playoffs because teams dont fear the 3 and just pack the paint. THATS IME. Give me Mazzula any day of the week.

 

Bro the reason Mazzula won was personnel. They went out and got 2 additional all stars. They played 5 out ball with 5 shooters. They played high screens with Tatum and Jrue slipping running to the middle or they ISO brown and tatum or post Porzingis. They usually shoot teams out the building and they had a lot of space to drive one on one with the floor spread. They still play similar to this nowadays except they don’t have a stretch 5.

As I said Udoka would have a championship no doubt with that team and the narrative would be different. And leads me to my point is personnel allows you to play a certain way and when everything clicks your team wins. Imagine if you replaced Porzingis with Sengun you think they would have won in 24? How about replace Porzingis and white with Sengun Amen? Lol it’s personnel. Always has been

 

Mazzulla was complimented by his peers and real NBA players and not fans.....

 

How bout this? How bout that? We can go on and on with scenarios. You dont know. Your opinion is that he would have a chip mine is that he wouldnt. We'll never know. One thing I hate is for people to act like things were always a forgone conclusion and it doesnt work like that. Life does not work like that. He didnt win. He had the better younger team against the Warriors and he didnt win. Thats not a narrative. What is a narrative, is you acting like yeah he woulda won 100%. Thats not a fact tis all narrative.

 

What’s your point? You stated your opinion and I stated mine and we are having a discussion are we not? The narrative is the one crafted by the media and fans. Forgone conclusion? How about the fans on this site who has made the determination that Udoka is garbage or low IQ and will never win a championship? You yourself have come to the conclusion that he isn’t a good coach. So let’s not talk about forgone conclusions.

My opinion is backed with facts and analysis and the fact is that 23-24 team was stacked with stars and 5 shooters. The fact is that team was not the same team as the one Udoka had. They had the best record in the league. They were hard to stop with shooters and drivers at all starting positions. We don’t know if Udoka would have won but there is a high probability and likelihood that he would have.

The fact is the Boston roster in 21-22 was not better than the Warriors who still had the splash brothers and a very good Wiggins combined with strong bench play from Payton and Poole. Derrick white in 21-22 was not the same player as the one past couple seasons.

The fact is Thompson and Sengun can’t shoot and has limited the Rocket offense. These are facts.

 

Sengun had a good shooting stretch at eurocup. He is also used to be considered a jokic light ofensive hub... so it's not really a "fact" what you stated to be a fact there towards the end.

What is an undeniable fact is that your boy Ime is not really a player's coach anymore - at least not when compared to Joe Mazzulla

 

I honestly dont know the point of your posts they just seem like you'll blame anything but ime lol You will say anything to defend him. Ime is just so perfect its everyone else's fault he doesn't succeed. Sort of how some people coddled kd here after the texts. Fine man I dont care to watch you suck Ime's ass any longer. I'll bow out of this conversation.

 

I don’t know what he did in that Eurocup you keep talking about. If he shot well then it’s called an anomaly or exception to the norm. He hasn’t shot well midrange or 3 pt his whole career and that’s a fact. Udoka is not my boy and I do not need you to be snarky and condescending. The discussion is about Mazzula compared to Udoka. Your statement about Udoka not being a player’s coach has nothing to back it up with and merely your opinion

 

that’s because you don’t read my posts and you sit there and assume. Its stupid to me and childish to resort to the tired dumbass line involving sucking someone body part. That’s dumb as shi+. I challenge those who keep saying he sucks without talking about exactly why he does without any deep analysis or explanation while not putting the onus on the players and roster construction. No teams in the league start 2 players as their main scorers who both can’t shoot beyond 12 ft. None. I asked you if Boston had sengun and amen do you honestly think they would win? Not a hard question to answer. I have said all along it’s about how this team is constructed.

 

What we’re seeing is that Ime was a product of Boston’s front office control of the coaching staff. He was surrounded by great assistants, four of whom are head coaches now. Here in Houston we gave him the keys and got mid results. It’s a ****ing shame we’re going to have to suffer through at least part of another season with this guy. Smh

 

I'm not reading this brother. You wasted your time typing. I dont care to read another ime d sucking line of it.

 

JVG had way better half court sets offensively. Not even close.

 

I wanted Nurse and still do. And I finally see why KD wanted Ime, no pressure, no accountability and all the attention (in his "system"). He could be the star without proving anything.

We're the laughing stock of the league and I'm here for it.

 

Yeah but the result wasnt that much better. OK he is a worse version of JVG and Thibbs.

 

Lol JB Bickerstaff.

 

You have a fascination with sucking dic$ don’t you?
