Bickerstaff lineups, rotations and minutes are horriable

For real it's like people don't watch the game. Harden could get a trip double and people will still blame him of being lazy if we don't win, but everyone seems to just ignore JB or acts like he should keep getting chances. I haven't been on here this much cause it's like every ignores what's right in from of them.

My roommates are Spurs and mavs fans and we non stop talk ****, but even they tell me while we watch games that JB is the worst coach they've ever seen on a basketball court.

The most classic line recently has been "why is Brewer at PF" and "wheres josh smith"

If average fans can point out the horrible coaching then idk why people on this board continue to blame nothing but the players

 

cant get a real coach cuz real coaches cost money. oh wait, we paid mchale 12 million dollars. n/m

 

People used to complain because McHale would play the same rotation game after game. Now we have JB with no set rotation. People still unhappy. ClutchFans won't be happy with any rotation until we start winning again. Actually, ClutchFans won't be happy then either.

 

So now we all lose. ****.

 

Despite the OP's misspelling of 'horrible' I agree with him. Two major things our famous coach Rudy T did were he would stick with players who were hot and if would run plays repeatedly until the opposition could stop it. JB seems to fail with both of those fairly obvious actions. Additionally we often turn bad offenses and bad offensive players into all-stars and that is on the coach too. I thought we should have kept Mchale on longer but JB has actually turned out to be far worse in a lot of ways.

 

He's a ****ing terrible coach. So much worse than Mchale. He has cost Houston at least 6 games with his awful rotations and inability to draw up plays after TOs. The great news is we only have 29 games left to deal with him

 

Remember Harden abusing Portland in OT in the post? Two games against Portland and we ran it once. That sums up JB

 

With the salary cap, NBA teams are guaranteed to make a profit. Hence you have lots of complacent owners who really don't care that much about winning but still have a guaranteed cash cow in an NBA team. What else can explain Les' mind boggling decision to appoint Bickerstaff as coach ? The NBA is a joke. I will no longer "support" the Houston Rockets. I will follow the games, but will not buy League Pass. Will not buy any jerseys any more either. It was ridiculous for me to spend so much time and energy on what is essentially a for profit corporation. McDonald's doesn't have "fans". Neither should the Rockets.

 

This is the exact problem yet we're blaming Dwight? Let that man finish the year at least, and tell your Coach to play the BEST players TOGETHER.

TERRIBLE A** LINEUPS.

 

You know the worst part is, in twin towers Capella is being played out of position, and in small ball Brewer is being played out of position.

This is the sickening part. JB has no clue/confidence/consistency in what he is doing. It showcased his incompetency.

 

Yep his rotations and minute allotment suck...

harrell is always +points when he's on the floor - yet can't get any consistent minutes - even in games where he's virttually the only guy with positive points when he's on the floor..???

Thornton gets 0 mins one night and 30 on another...

Terry could start - or he could get a DNP...

Brewer seems to get his minutes - no matter how much he's suckin ass...

Ty can play like crap and he stays in - or on the rare occassion he gets hot he gets pulled...

I see no correlation between good play and minutes... the only thing I can speculate is that players are ignoring JB so he plays the guys that do what he says - even if it has poor results...

I think JB is an idiot... but who knows what's happening behind the scenes... I can't believe the #4 guy in FG% ALL TIME (and having his best % of his career this year) gets less than 9 shots a game?!?! I gotta wonder if guys are just ignoring him...

 

The weirdest part if Josh his minutes. I don't like the guy, he jacks up the worst shots of anyone besides Harden, and makes the dumbest TOs besides Harden too, but he's the best PF we got!

 

Thank God you are not the coach when we played with Clippers in last playoffs.

If you are playing 0 minutes, nobody can play well.

 

WOW. This is the first day you know Josh Smith will jack up shots?

If you gave up him because of his bricking, Rockets wouldn't have beat Clippers in game 6.

Nobody in this team can create shots except Josh Smith and Harden!!!

 

we're going nowhere if our front office keeps everyone on coaching staff.. everyone needs to go, a complete revamp.

 

I can't agree more on this.

Soft Jones and TO machine Brewer can get tons of playing time, but Thornton can't get even 1 minute.

Josh Smith was playing well for the first couple of games, but when he started to brick, JBB gave him only 9 minutes playing time each game. All those games Rockets lost the games!!!

The coach is just a headless chicken.

 

So he's terriAble you say? :grin:

Agree though that JB is worse than McHale. He has had a few good moments, but overall his rotations are questionable at best. Takes players out when they are hot, leaves them in when they are cold, guys only getting limited minutes on the court before being subbed (especially Josh) - can't expect players to catch a rhythm like that and players getting a DNP CD

Anyway here is to a better second half of the season! #BROKENPURSUIT or whatever

 

who cares. that doesn't excuse how bad of a player he really is on a consistent basis. Thank god you're not the coach because you have no idea what the difference is.

 

JB has cost us our season. He's costing us our players like Ty and Howard who are now wanting to be traded because he can't get them to work

This dude has Ty/Harden/ariza/smith/Howard and a bench of Bev/Terry/thorton/jones/Dmo/Harrell/Capella and is still barely .500

I literally don't understand JB or this teams silence when it comes to rotations(how has josh not freaked out on him)

If Brewer is still starting or playing PF after this Allstar break I might have to give up on this team

 

Its not Dwight its JB.
