Saw that NBA.com lists him as previously playing for HOU 2019-2020, hence my question. Even wiki shows him as playing for ASVEL in 2020.
Austin Rivers is my x-factor. He’s back at home, giving off good vibes. I’m ready for him to recreate that Disney magic!
Rivers is getting me excited. He looks super healthy! Also he looks like he’s has better hops than he’s had since his rookie year
Houston Rockets’ X-Factor Eric Gordon Rockets are ... banking on their third option being the difference in close games. An X-factor who’s not afraid to take big shots has proven to be a key component to winning an NBA title. It’s a role the Rockets believe Eric Gordon is ready to play for them this season. https://lastwordonprobasketball.com/2020/07/15/eric-gordon-houston-rockets-x-factor/
Morey explains how Westbrook thrived in microball strategy “Obviously we’re playing small but people forget that unlocked Russell alot on the offensive end and James on the offensive end. But it also unlocked us on the defensive end. Not many guards average in their career multiple times over 10 rebounds a game. And the fact that Eric is thick and strong and James, allows us to play this way. Everyone makes it sounds like its a gimmick but really the players we have are dictating the best way to play. And what I love about coach is that he recognizes that and is able to optimize that.” Aside from Westbrook, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the small ball strategy has been Robert Covington, who emerged as an elite rim protector, who has the ability to defend any position on the floor, while averaging 12.8 points on 35.7 percent from deep. https://spacecityscoop.com/2020/07/15/daryl-morey-excited-houston-rockets-microball/ Morey likes early showing of Rockets in Orlando “Obviously everything works alot better in walk-throughs, but I will say when you watch the film they put together for the players everyday, it’s very hard to figure out how we’re going to lose. If we can execute and bring the right execution and energy, obviously there are some great teams out there so you’ve got to respect them, but I do think we have easily as good a chance as anybody.” https://spacecityscoop.com/2020/07/15/houston-rockets-daryl-morey-orlando/
Houston Rockets center Ty son Chandler says of retirement plans: “I’ll try not to get ahead of myself and I’ll wait for that moment to come.” It’s been nine years since Chandler won his only NBA championship, and he still has hopes of winning a second. “I think we (Rockets) got a great shot. I really do. I like our chances,” Chandler said. “I think the style of basketball that we’re playing right now, I think teams have a tough time adjusting to it. We switched it up before everything came to a stop. “I think if we get hot and our shooters are knocking down shots, it makes it very difficult to beat us.” https://hoopshabit.com/2020/07/15/houston-rockets-chandler-small-ball/
I thought they were staying at the Grand Floridian. Where it's not too shabby for those that can afford it...
