    it's not just ime not starting reed, if you take a detailed look, his coaching has to be something out of a horror movie:

    - didn't start reed
    - played him for 10 minutes straight until he got tired
    - took him out of the game for big stretches
    - put him back in with 0.3 seconds left in a tip in or nothing situation, he wasn't even the inbounder LOL

    that's just the reed files, but there's more:

    - capela a +12 only plays 11 minutes while sengun is having his worst game ever
    - clint should have been on the floor for that tip ball
    - played jabari for the full overtime while he is having a terrible game and is clearly ******** his pants running like a headless chicken on both ends of the floor
    - alpi plays 37 minutes while having a james harden fat suit on a back to back afternoon game in miami defensive performance
    - could have played small ball okogie in overtime, could've played clint, just left jabari and alpi on the floor
    - couldn't draw any plays, can't even shout to the players to f*in foul in the last 5 seconds.

    it's one of the worst coaching performances i've ever seen, if not the worst. and somehow he's under contract till the 2031 season, which makes the situation even more hopeless.

    good night everyone, this one hurts.

    Ime’s extension might end up one of the worst decisions this organization has done. This is looking like a horror movie, and knowing the ownership, you know damn well they ain’t paying someone while staying at home.

    I just can't see it, they are slow, their defense is terrible, Lebron and Luka have bad chemistry, their bench is trash, their coach is bad, and Amen matches up well on Luka and he's their only hope.

    I think that team is going to look drastically different next year.

    The Rockets have their issues but these other teams do too, even OKC is gettable this year, not by us, but they are not as dominant as they were last year, this Nuggets team also drops some really bad games, Minny been very inconsistent all year.

    So… no Curry…. Klay old and gone…. Not only no KD, but KD on the Rockets…. Reed “I’m a star on another team” Sheppard drops a 30 spot…. and the Rockets STILL lost.

    That is some serious ownage of us by GS.

    No Jimmy Butler? …. Sheesh

    Glad to see Reed emerging at least.

    I know it will piss some fans off, but if I am Stone, I am pretty close to concluding Amen and Sengun won’t work offensively and Sengun isn’t great defensively…. I think I would trade Sengun for solid value, increase Amen’s role a little and let Reed take 15-20 shots a night.

    No Curry. No effort. No playoff advancement.

    If Stone was smart, he would have never touched Durant and instead given up Jalen Green plus fillers for 2026 pick and expirings.

    1. Contemplating a Coaching change for better O system in due time, in a 2 year timespan.
    2. Setting up his GM successor.

    I think the Lakers could beat us in the playoffs. Luka is capable of going for 35-40 a night in a series and LeBron and Reeves combining for 40 a night… they could literally just out offense the Rockets.

    A random game in the middle of the season is different than a playoff game though.

    Denver also lost to to this same Warriors team, in fact, this Warriors team whooped up on them. The reason no one says that about this Nuggets team here though is because we don't watch them night to night and don't see their flaws night to night.

    I hate the Warriors. I'm tired of coming out to play when the deck is stacked against us.

    Call the push-offs off-ball, refs!

    Eagerly awaiting Dickerson’s retort in about an hour. I’m guessing Reed is safe but r****di and Gooner are likely to get called out and Kerr for sure.

    nah, if we lost to the Lakers in the 1st round, just throw the whole franchise away

    that is not a good team despite what their record is

    that team has a +0.6 point differential which is 15th in the NBA

    they can’t shoot…they can’t defend…they have Ayton and Hayes aka the black Sideshow Bob as their C rotation

    Lebron is 40

    if they can’t beat the Lakers in a playoff series, then they are so far away from serious contention it’s not even funny

    Would be nice to start Reed and not having to come back down from double digits when he comes in. This stuff is quite infuriating. Draymond also b****ed Durant hard
    lol
    KD ain’t winning us sh it in the playoffs man.
