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.

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

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 yโall trash because you donโt have Harden carrying you every year anymore

It just goes to show how harden made everyone elseโs job easier and people still criticised the way he played. People didnโt like the style but he got them to the playoffs every season

Heโs also the reason they got bounced early every year

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”.

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