    Well if you watched, and knew what you were seeing, you'd realize Holiday was even worse defensively AND offensively.

    The decision to keep him in to the detriment of the team was indefensible..... yet here you are.

    Ime is great defensively but lacking on offense. If we could let Ime handle defense and bring in an assistant who knows the Princeton style offense, this team would thrive. We have the absolutely PERFECT big man to excel doing that.

    Reed's conditioning isn't there yet. Our guys looked winded. What we need is fvv not to be out for a full year and dfs to come back.

    After sitting the end of the 3rd and three entire 4th, there had to be a point where he caught his breath.

    Your intelligence is a joke. I understand your upset about the loss yesterday, everyone has those it’s the NBA. No one is going to undefeated you know that right?

    We should be used to it after the last four years. Thankfully he's a bench player and not the 'star' player of the team.

    Double standards and insistence of benching Reed the entire second half when holiday was no better on D and we couldn’t buy a 3 was malpractice and counter to the long term goals this team

    If Reed averaged 50ppg and made a mistake Ime would bench him unlike other players on this team.

    its absolutely cancerous for player development of our #3 promising pick we spent a lot of time and effort tanking for.

    If he’s not on board he needs to get the boot mid season

    You all wanted Reed to play big minutes last year to develop. Reed has one regressed mediocre game, in a team loss. And it's wanting Ime's head. And tt's questioning what Reed is lacking. Which actually supports Ime because "losing winnable games" hurts like hell, and the young player is blamed, getting called out for lack of readiness

    What did we think was gonna happen favoring "player development" over a winnable game?

    Ime has generally been great for the Rockets up until this point, with a lot of positives and some negatives mainly on the offensive end.

    But do we think he is a coach that makes a difference at contender level? Can he outplay any of dignaeut, reddick or jokic? Will he be able to create an offense that utilizes Amen, Kd and Sengun?

    I am not really sure. He is probably an average coach at this level. Most of his strengths are more important for developing teams, not contenders.

    Depends on his clutch Timeouts, small sample size.....he is 48 still. Stone is 54-55 his senior.

    He likes Extremes meaning he can trip up as well.

    Reeds issues are simply due to his age and size right now.
