    Alot of deserved praise has been dolled out to Nene and lou, but there is a forgotten man.He has been fantastic on both ends of the floor during the series.

    10/23 3 point shooting

    Last 3 games:
    18 PPG 5RPG 2ASS

    3 blocks 3 steals

    Shout out to Flash, he has been a force these last 3 games. Its great to see his talent finally coming out and no better time then the playoffs. He played vital roles in the game 2 and 3 win. May god heed upon him with health.

    Amen

    That lineup would be deadly vs okc
    They have been our 5 best players through out the playoffs so far by miles. We really havent played a good game yet, which is a good sign. Second half of game 2 was our best half if you eliminate the blowout game.
    We are gonna need Ryno and ariza because it seems like if we advance the only person who has a prayer guarding Leonard is trevor.

    Yeah but hid take and miss a two point shot near the foul line, which is damn near inexcusable. And he missed 2 more 2 pointers this series too, making a total of 3 missed 2 pointers this series and that kind of disconnectedness with the system will relegate him to the cat house.

    Yeah, he's been a real standout for the team this series. I think his defense has been just as clutch and valuable as his offense, but gets little fanfare. I'm really glad he's been playing with a high level of intensity. Our team has needed it. He has provided it.

    I didn't realize he was shooting so well from three in the playoffs.

    That's a very good sign.

    Lou had as well

    And Trevor was like 3-5 last game from three so it seems everyone is coming around.

    Just have to get Ryno going.

    I did like his game 3 even tho he didn't make many threes, I'm never going to get mad at him putting up 18/6 on 8-15 shooting.

    It's a huge strategic advantage having Eric and Lou coming off the bench. Why would you guys want to negate that? Besides, Eric must continue in his role if we want him to stay healthy.

    Daryl Morey has always wanted to match a guy like Gordon next to Harden

    When Harden and Gordon play well they are a load

    Now Morey has Williams and Gordon. They are so fun to watch

    Love the eric gordon thread.


    However I dont think a single poster on this board has not noticed eric gordon. We have not forgotten him. We have been singing his praises. We all know :)

    Beverly is in that mix of guards also

    The Rockets have a Pistons type offense.

    Data says those guards should be shooting threes

    I concur! It's much like the Warriors system with iguodola and that other guy coming off the bench... teams don't get a breather.... and it's our y factor... our bench.

    Statistically, not very likely to happen. If it does, I expect us to hit or get close to 150 points.

    It's not his scoring thats deserves this thread. His scrappiness, toughness, and nerve is what's helping us win. Still needs to stop the whining. It's nauseating to see. But he's been in the right place at the right time on defense. Just battling man. Gotta love it!
