Paul/Gordon Harden/Green/JJ Ariza/Luc PJ/Anderson Capela/Nene/Wright That's pretty damn good right there.
Hi Eddie Johnson. In playoff games, there will be games where Harden and Paul both can't get it going. Joe Johnson gives us an offense option and most likely if there is a game on the line at the final seconds, I expect JJ to be out there. Not only for offense reasons, but also Rockets players learn from JJ. Win win win.....
No doubt. JJ can create his own shot. He will be the escape valve whenever the team goes on a scoring drought (unlikely with so much firing power, but very nice to have nonetheless).
Welcome Joe Johnson to Houston. He will be a great addition to our bench especially for the playoffs. Assuming we are healthy going into the playoffs, we can play against any matchups and have a great chance to win. Warriors are loaded and they maybe adding buyout veterans in the next couple of weeks as well. Regardless, we can match up well with them. Having JJ down the stretch may help us give some of our key player some rest before the playoffs begins. I sure hope that D'Antoni extends his rotatation to 10 players atleast.
This is the best way now the team has ultimate flexibility. The best thing is it is time for Cp3 and Hardens minutes to come down
It would, wouldn't it. Wow. It didn't occur to me, Roc Paint. No one can say that we don't take care of our superstars and their "Friends of Superstars." Oh, and Sir Charles can keep his trap shut about that. Less is no more. I wouldn't count on Green being ahead of Joe in the rotation. Maybe if Johnson needs a couple of games to settle in, but I'll be surprised if Green, who I like a lot, by the way, loses some minutes. Heck, with MDA, who knows for sure who'll play? Joe and Green could be on the court together, or Green could end up with garbage minutes. I doubt that last, though. Green's been instant offense, and his defense looks like it's improving. I'm getting dizzy from the possibilities, the combinations! We just got 2 more veteran players who are far from chump change. That's with a lineup already here that looked pretty loaded to me, one I'd go to war with. Morey just made it better. How crazy is that?
Love this! Anything to stick it to GS. I hope it pays off for ISO Joe and the rest of the guys. Very happy with the moves so far, I feel like we are very solid all the way through the roster. Less minutes for everyone down the stretch to come into the playoffs healthy should be the goal!
To me getting Joe Johnson is equivalent or better than getting Melo at this stage of his career. Think about it.
Joe Johnson cannot play the 1, not even close and he can't play the 2 either, then you consider that he can also barely defend 3s, and he doesn't have the size to defend 5s...Joe Johnson will almost exclusively be played as a small ball 4. End of story. No he won't be a ball handler and no he won't be expected to defend fantastically. Joe Johnson is most likely going to be a guy that the Rockets can play every other game and count on a few buckets in limited minutes. Its good he shoots the 3 ball well, because he's going to have to do that here when he's in the game.
