Bill Simmons rips Ime Udoka\u2019s \u2018clogged toilet\u2019 offense with Rockets<\/a> appeared first on ClutchPoints<\/a>. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Houston Rockets<\/a> are 4-6 in their last 10 games, including a historical meltdown against the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> at Target Center on Wednesday, wherein they blew a 13-point lead in overtime.<\/p>\n

The timing of the slump could not be worse for the Rockets, who are hoping to secure a better position in the playoffs, preferably a homecourt advantage in the first round. They are in sixth place in the Western Conference with a 43-29 record.<\/p>\n

For The Ringer\u2019s Bill Simmons<\/a>, Houston coach Ime Udoka<\/a> should go back to the drawing board and recalibrate their offense<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the clogged toilet offense personified, which we had in Boston in \u201922. I just can\u2019t believe how lazy the offense is,\u201d said Simmons on his podcast.<\/p>\n

Udoka coached the Boston Celtics in the 2021-2022 season, tallying a 51-31 record. They lost to the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals in six games.<\/p>\n

Simmons was not done calling out Udoka, who stated that he has a \u201cnon-traditional\u201d plan<\/a> in his second year with the Rockets.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Ime, I think this has been one of the worst coaching jobs of the year. I don\u2019t see any adjustments late. The vibes are awful. I don\u2019t think he really likes the team that much,\u201d added Udoka.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to go full conspiracy on it, they have not looked the same since the All-Star break, and all that KD (Kevin Durant) burner stuff. Whether that was true or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Houston is only averaging 114.1 points and 24.9 assists, which are both in the bottom half of the league\u2019s rankings.<\/p>\n

The worst-case scenario for the Rockets is to spiral in the final weeks and end up in the Play-In Tournament.<\/p>\n

They have a relatively light schedule ahead as they are set to face the Memphis Grizzlies, the New Orleans Pelicans, the New York Knicks, the Milwaukee Bucks, and the Utah Jazz.<\/p>\n
