'There's too much damn turmoil': An unsettling vibe surrounds these Rockets

Drama in Clutch City
quote:
The tepid commitment to D'Antoni, the gutting of his coaching staff and the shopping of the starting five, among other factors, have created what could at best be described as an unsettling vibe for a franchise that has won more games over the past few years than any team other than the Warriors.
quote:
There is a disconnect between the front office and D'Antoni, who wasn't in favor of the Rockets' decision to part ways with five members of his coaching staff but didn't fight Morey's recommendations for the changes. There is friction between James Harden and Chris Paul, the franchise's two maximum-salary centerpieces. (Morey has aggressively shopped the Rockets under contract, including Paul and center Clint Capela, in the trade market.) And doubts linger about Fertitta, the inexperienced owner steering the ship through choppy waters while creating waves of his own.
"There's too much damn turmoil," a high-ranking Rockets source told ESPN. "There's some hard feelings right now everywhere."

But Paul noticeably lost a step last season, as evidenced by analytics and the eye test. Paul pushed for more plays and sets in the Houston offense, more screening and deception, despite Harden being in the process of putting together a historically dominant individual offensive season.
"Chris wants to coach James," says a source familiar with the stars' dynamic. "James looks at him like, 'You can't even beat your man. Just shut up and watch me.'"

Tillman was a mistake.

This board only trusts ESPN if they are hating on the Rockets. Just so desperate for Clutch City to be irrelevant.

This isn't wrong. Paul had his first ever sub 20 PER and was down almost 5 points in PER.
I think he'll level out the decline a bit, but being high teens...the Rockets are even more of a one man show than last year. Time is not on their side. PJ Tucker is 34.

So are you flat out refuting this?

It's the inverse and that's what makes the autistic Pinata embarrassing in every thread he posts in

kind of funny how rocket fans think this is just a starved board looking to laugh at houston so they would latch onto anything to do so. but i bet they didnt have a problem with the lakers 2.0 article

Tilman Fertitta is a bit of a loud mouth and I'm a bit worried about his son taking over the team. Feels very Dolan-esque.

But it is.
This board absolutely loves talking shite about the Rockets and it's not even contestable.

This isn't really a surprise, they couldn't beat an injured warriors team when a lot of people in the building thought they'd be having the parade today.
So of course people get mad, make rash decisions (like firing good assistant coaches), and try to reinvent the team.
