Tuck is probably gonna voice his displeasure soon. And rightfully so. He's putting his body at high injury risk logging minutes at center. MDA refuses to play the man at the 3. He's not a five nor four. He's a small forward. The rockets gotta stop band-aiding the teams lack of size with this smallball bs. That only worked every now matchup against the warriors. This team has ignored the 4 position for a while now, they continued to stockpile on guards in the offseason. We still need that 4/5 tweener that can shoot, and a solid wing. If it means losing Capela, Clemons,etc then so be it. Most of the contenders we play have multiple players that fit the mold. I'm still waiting on DM to address it. It seem like after he loss out on Bosh, he just gave up on filling the hole. I been seeing so many teams with multiple young bigs who space the floor. It's annoying af because the rockets have none on the roster. Not even a real prospect to develop into that type of player. I'm also wondering if Mike Dantoni is even coaching. Why the hell is this team still gameplanning like they gone face the small ball warriors in the playoffs? The Rockets system always relied heavily on 3s in the past, however we took it to a absurd level to challenge GSW. There's no adjustment to the new competition out west. The whole system is on autopilot.
We should've won that game. All of a sudden the shots stopped falling for us and they hit em'. Our defense actually looked pretty good for a quarter and a half. We should've stuck with the early defensive efforts and we would've won.
That's weird! Nice find. So we're playing okay positional defense, but teams are hitting crazy percentages from bad spots against us.
Wow so we are already tired? And I didn’t know making shots and defense requires “legs and heart”. Is MDA an MD?
its all a facade, throwing send, yall seriously dont think hell honestly and openly discuss serious rockets matters in public?
Clit Capela has been absolutely horrible so far. Same goes for Gordon. But only one of them can be traded this year
Yeah man. I like the good things Capela can do but we need a man at center at the same time. We are already undersized at the 4. Our 5 can’t be a soft cat.
Yep. When he's awful people say it's just a streak he needs to shoot out of and when he finally starts hitting them he will be called great. Anyone else is called trash or garbage when they shoot 3's like that, but nobody comes close to throwing as many bricks from behind the arc as James I just wish he would limit those 3's and drive more. Shooting percentages favor Tucker or House taking the bulk instead of James. They have open looks with James and Russ driving and feeding them too. He just wants to do it all, and for me hero ball just isn't fun to watch when it's flying bricks. My favorite part of the game was in the second quarter when James sat on the bench and Russ and the rest built a 12 point lead. That gap dwindled down fast after James came back in slowing the pace and bricking 3's.
I been saying Clint is a soft player and hes our Center! He cant finish around the rim with awesome looks, Not playing in crunch time and paying him with all that money.
