I don't worry about the Rockets in the first half, it's the 2nd half when MDA refuses to play more than 5 players is when it catches up with everyone. Rockets played great without Russ and Harden against the Pelicans too then everything fell apart.
I hope we see Clemons and hartenstein this game. Let these guys get a chance to play their tribute to Kobe. They won’t get this opportunity when we’re healthy
Not even foul trouble will make Mike put a real C in. Someone please take away the spreadsheets that say small ball works.
PJ playing with 2 fouls in the 1st is everything I need to know about what's about to go down with these rotations. oh boy.
Pj tucker is the worst person to pass it to. So many unforced turnovers because he seems scared of the ball on Offense. They’re playing with heart tonight though. They’ll keep it close to the 4th. Hopefully can minimize the turnovers
I don’t mind not starting Hartenstein (I guess Clint is out ?) But he def needs to play . I don’t want the patented 7 man rotation with Tyson playing 10 minutes to PJ’s 40
I really don’t know what it is with D’Antoni, I really don’t. He puts his trust in 6 or 7 players; the rest are detritus. If Tucker’s leg were nearly severed and hanging at the knee by a flap of skin, D’Antoni would still insist he play 35 mpg. And Keith Jones would just put a poultice on it after the game.
I began to respect mda more than ever cuz he is strategically all for exposing our weaknesses game after game to rox front office (wish they wouldn't be selective blinded), implying and asking for further improvement on our lineup.
