    I would feel optimistic going into the off-season if I knew that losing this series would cost Ime his job.

    Recall that we hardly could beat them in the regular season.

    I hope this haunts Jabari Smith for the rest of his life. I hope he has nightmares every night of that mistake.

    Not hating on you boyo, or trying to call you out.

    Just want to reiterate that blowing it up does nothing when the issues stem from tilman and patty fertitta as the GM.

    The team is forever f'cked with this family owning the team.

    Name a team who has crapped the bed more spectacularly in the playoffs than the Rockets?

    We need to reset this ****.
    Trade the idiots.
    Get rid of the coach and GM.

    We have Amen and KD.
    Go from there.

    What we're finding out is that the Rockets are the dumbest group of idiots ever assembled.

    They did. Sengun literally explained it to the ref before the 2nd jump ball. Ayton did it again and the ref was blind to it.

    Rafael Stone destroyed the team's future with his draft picks. Ime destroyed this team's present with his coaching.

    How sad to see this great franchise sullied by these two talentless clowns.

    no leadership. no poise. no judgment of talent/skill. no game management. no point guard. nothing from the coach other than just defense and more of jaesean tate

    I'm spoiled watching a real fundamental Houston basketball team at Fertitta Center.
