Udoka isnt perfect, but he is what we need for this team. He just needs a offensive coach
You provide interesting analysis. Pretty steady. I just don't understand giving up on Fred after six games. The guy turned your clown organization around last year. The rockets were a joke. Did we forget how JG started last year? People wanted him traded for fodder. Look at him now. I think everyone needs to relax on Fred. I do agree that Sengun deserved to play that fourth-quarter and OT. I don't understand that decision-making other than wanting to go small, but that really wasn't working
Thanks Frank
I think Sengun can have a role and contribute on this team. Like I have told frank since last year, Sengun should play 20-25 minutes. Sengun style shouldn’t be the identity of the team. Starting 5 should be… Amen, Green, Brooks, Tari, Bari… when games slow down or if the matchup is favorable,let Alp do his thang.. But even i would have played Sengun in OT
This is the best Rockets channel, thanks for the great content Frank! It is always refreshing to hear your perspective.
Thank you Frank for your continued logic and sanity in the face of the rest of the juvenile and insane rockets community
Your the first person that saw and thought exactly what i thought. I went back and rewatched the game and it confirmed exactly what i was thinking and what your saying. This was a Ime loss… they were out of gas. I knew it, everyone knew, but Ime was hoping Tari would bail them out. Alp was having a good game and Jalen not so much but they both should have been in the game at OT. Alp had better stats in 20 minutes than almost everyone else in the starting line up that had 37-40minutes. No structure, no identity, no game plan. This was a Ime problem.
Ime was deeply impressed by the game played in March and became convinced that building the offense around Alpi throughout the year was a mistake. I just hope that by the time we get to March again, he doesn’t see his current style of play as a mistake too. I’m afraid that if this continues, Houston will waste another year.
idek how to feel about this game, the way we look this season shows me that we can be good but can’t be elite. i think if there’s no change in what we’re doing the absolute best we can be is like 5th or 4th seed
Hey Frank, what happen to the closer???? His +/- was (-)20. If he's not scoring, how does he impact the game? His defense improving? Really? Who was he guarding? Stop glazing dude.
This team has no offensive scheme plain and simple it doesn’t help that Sengun and Fred has been bad to start the season but we aren’t going to get anywhere if this team has no offense.
It’s too early to give up on Ime but we are seeing that he just not an offensive coach and we need a coordinator and he also stubborn on certain things.
Fred should have never came back in the game he should have let Reed and Holiday in there. If he did that we might have won that game
If you’re going to bench players for being bad Fred should not be the expection.
With that said Tari Eason had his best game of his career he a hooper man and you need those types of guys on your team.
Amen was a force on both ends especially with his ball pressure of getting to the rim
Jabari was showing how he can be a great 3 and D wing he was excellent last night
Regardless we were inconsistent once again we can’t be inconsistent like this.
We need a offensive coordinator but I don’t think Ime will hire one because he probably content with the offense being below average as long as we play good defense
That Video is a work of art. On Point als always. The thing that disturbed me the most that Alpi didnt play in OT when Kerr bring in Looney because Drae fouled out.
For me Alpi is just a trade asset for Udoka.
The way we were losing, if the first unit not doing it bring in the second, if not the second bring in the third or mix. It's all about winning by any mean necessary to win!!
Tunnel vision coaching, that comment is right on the spot. Best Houston Rockets content out there, keep up the great work.
Strength based leadership – Ime is NOT.
Know your personal – Ime is NOT.
First 5 games JG was on and 3W. If JG’s hero ball is our first option ( not like it but ok ) what is our second option.
We have high IQ players not being utilised.
IME needs help in offensive strategy. URGENTLY
Great points by you as usual! But i wont be that nice to them.
– Jalen is generally doing okay so far , i don't wanna bash him over for a one bad day. Lets see upcoming matches.
– Ime, personally you are not a coach , you are just a clown. Always unfair to your players. Same bs as Silas in past. Regardless how bad jalen plays he was always getting most times to play , for you its Fred now. I know even if he plays 0-20 he still gonna have 35mins+.
– How do you expect young players to improve when they know , what ever they do they will be benched whatsoever. Reed played 7mins. Cam played 5mins. Fred 40 Jalen 34? ok
– What more Tari and Amen should do to deserve starting lineup ?
– Did you guys see Alpy's face last moments? He wasnt happy with ime. Thats not the way of motivating your best player. Are we gonna waste another year and no play offs again?
honestly how much better is fred than Dj Augustine was for us
I think before last season starts, we all expect Alpi is not going be main weapon or main focus of the team because of Ime's style. So does front office and Ime aswell, they try to bring Lopez. Alpi starts hot with Fvv and we ride the 2 man game and his post play. Also JG was playing really awfull proves Alpi's position. However with 10 game sample size they saw something. Which I believe more than just beating lottery teams but vision they are having before bringing Ime. They have to sign with Alpi even they don't believe his talent but they don't wanna look stupid and let him walk away or sign max with him. He will eventually leave Rockets cause I don't believe front office give up on Ime near future. I get it his playstyle is unique and if you don't build around him, he will be liability. I don't have any other explanation cause they are damaging both Alpi's value and team's performance. I hope if they make a move, they do it quick and benefits both sides.
WE ALMOST MADE NBA HISTORY COMING BACK FROM 31 POINTS DOWN BUT NOW IME UDOKA LOST US THE GAME IN OT NOT SENGUN
thanks for calling out Ime finally!
here i paste my comment on the first game against hornets :
"I blame Ime for the offense. This team needs at least two offense sets other than P&R tailored for each individuals' qualities. It should be known by each member deeply with opponent responses and counter responses. I cannot even judge if Jabari is a good player or not because he has no role in the team to my eyes in offense other than catch and shoot. Ime needs to get support if he doenst have that vision for offense otherwise this team will struggle a lot."
I can easily write this in first game because, you have to do this kind of structure in off season. I felt the same last year but after seeing Jalen doesn't know P&R i stopped there(He can do it now and other stuff). But this year there is no excuse. Ime needs to get his shit together. He is getting hate by alp too.
Getting in the bonus early & the doubling on Green killed us badly! GSW took Green out the game & lots of ticky tack foul calls.. This was a observation game, but wheres Tate?! When FVV is having an off night we need to get Holiday in the game maybe have him start the 2nd. I was highly impressed of Amen's paint driving dominance. tbh Tari can be DPOY if he keeps this up.
Udoka is Selfish power games cost them the game. Alpi barely played 20 mins, and then was benched when he was doing his best. Good job Udoka, you showed them who’s the boss,
Alperen played with 14 points and 10 rebounds in 20 minutes in yesterday's match. He was benched while playing with a 50% scoring percentage. Jalen, who played for 35 minutes in the same match, could only score 7 points. Udoka's choices are not objective. He needs to solve his problem with Alpi.
Yeah, coaches of town need to be better. If our defense can't stop people and generate offense, coach needs do something to use these young good athletes. It on coach!
Couldn’t have said it better. Tunnel vision coaching is dangerous. Need to establish roles and hierarchy.
The issue is with Ime’s statement after the game about why he made sit Sengun for so long is absurd. Sengun was doing all the dirty work with Tari and Jabari, which is why the gap was closed in the 3rd quarter.
Sengun always talks about "pace". You cannot just run and gun. Pace can only work with personnel who has a capacity to "react". Thats why GSW was once the best.
Fred is %15 and Jalen is %16 from the 3 point line.
This team needs an offensive coordinator, offence should be taken from his hands. Besides, please somebody explain if Sengun is not going to be a first option in, why you paid him $185M.
Maybe Ime Udoka didn’t want to extend but, the front office, Stones and the team owner didn’t want to miss the opportunity. Even if he is going to slow the game down, that’s still better than “run and gun” with bad field goal percentages.
