      Stephen Silas is a terrible coach, he’s running the James Harden offense without James Harden and plays these terrible small ball lineups with Tate at center lmao. I honestly hope they’re trying to tank and Silas has to play it off, other wise he’s a terrible coach.

    Unless Daryl has a killer crossover I would go with Harden

    The Brooklyn Nets didn’t take Steve Nash because he have “white privilege.”
    Change my mind

    If anyone actually watching Houston u will see this team dealing with injuries, c-19, different line up every night and this team has never caught chemistry. Who knows had not the injuries and Woods going down how much better this team would be in

      When the rockets are mediocre for the next decade you will be coming up with the same excuses y’all trash because you don’t have Harden carrying you every year anymore

    It just goes to show how harden made everyone else’s job easier and people still criticised the way he played. People didn’t like the style but he got them to the playoffs every season

    • Selfish Stockton

      March 23, 2021 at 9:56 pm

      He’s also the reason they got bounced early every year

    The Rockets where kinda dumb for that trade to the Nets I would have went for Ben Simmons and 2….1st rounders

    Darryl put us in this situation. Overated “moneyball” GM.

    Daryl morey. He brought in James harden. The team was losing with harden in the beginning of the season and a good reason the 76ers are first seed now.

    Rockets ownership in the end is responsible. Harden said it best…. “we’re just not good enough”.

    I bet Silas was lit af at first and salty af now… From Wall harden n boogie to 20 straight losses

  22. YOUSHALLKNOWPAIN

    March 23, 2021 at 2:21 pm

    James harden didn’t miss the playoffs once for the rockets… people just hate to hate sometimes 🤦🏽‍♂️

    Why is he bringing up race? This situation has nothing to do with the race of the coach. It’s a bad team in rebuilding mode

  24. MM MM

    This is a dumb question lol of course harden
