Ant vs Steph and Jimmy will be fun. Houston’s gotta be the worst 2 seed in awhile, especially in the west

Asking him about Jimmy talking **** about opposing teams isn’t a tough question lol.

They need to ask him about his terrible team building, asset accumulating, his pride and ego making him say **** that runs his best player out of town, why we’ve been a bottom 5 team in transactions made despite clearly needing 1-2 to get over the top, etc.


And what answer do you expect?


Whichever one will make you happy tbh

Hat's off to all the brainiacs on this board who proclaimed Jimmy being washed and that the team would be better off without him for being so fantastically wrong.

I gotta go back and listen but like I said Ira don't give f usually.

They do ask questions about team building and where the teams at.

What do you expect, for them to ask Riles to his face if hes too old and ready to retire? This isn't X they'll ask it but indirectly. Like I could see them asking him where does he see himself when it comes to running the team and how much longer he wants to do it. But they won't straight up disrespect him.

I think most of us just wanted the bandaid ripped off, most weren't saying he's washed, but mostly critiqued his cruising in the reg season.

Honestly theres a lot of blame to go around. Spo diminishing his role didn't help.

Rockets are absolute ****, how are they the 2 seed in the West?

I feel like they’d lose to all four top seeds in the East.

They're pretty solid just lack experience and getting out coached.

Heat were the first 10 seed to make the playoffs and were dispatched as such. Rockets are parading around as the 2 seed in the West when they are really no better than the Pacers, Knicks, Pistons, etc.

Yeah the Rockets were not favored to win this series for a reason.

Good all around team, but they lack a true go-to scorer.

Jimmy is washed, he went from MVP level impact in 20-23 to all star impact in 24 and 25. There is a clear decline happening.

The Heat were correct not to extend him, at the same time very wrong replacing his extension money with Wiggins/Kyle

Both will be gone this offseason… theyll try to get a highly protected first and expirings for wiggins.. probably gets sent to a contending team..


Andersen, theyll figure it out…

I really hope you are right, I have Wiggins as a neutral contract at best, maybe a desperate contender at the trade deadline will pay a few 2nds. Really don't expect to get a FRP for him.
