    Weird, the Rockets have gave him plenty of opportunities he just has not produced. Thats on him, not on the team. I'm sure when the agent met with Morey, Morey told him I am really trying to trade his ass.

    I will say this only once because I find it blasphemy that I am even saying it, but:

    I would rather have Brian Cook playing for this team over Chriss


    BRIAN COOK

    Hes lightning it up for the cavs, hit 3 triples,even facialized jarret allen for good measures.
    Maybe in houston, we play too many beard isos which rendered others useless excepts for a few possessions and offensive rebound. o_O

    Chriss finally found his spot, on a team that doesn't even pretend to try to play defense. Now he can just chuck up 3s all game.

    Cavs have nothing to play for and can afford to give him an amount of leash we could not. If he continues to play well and somehow manages to extend his career, good for him -- I certainly presumed it was over.

    He had Harden spoon feeding him easy buckets, but instead of getting the ez buckets, he chose to camp out at the 3 pointer line as a center, hell his picks were soft. Fking scrub, cool he's doing fine in the bottom cellar Cavs, but we needed a center not a wannabe spot up shooter.

    He could make a highlight reel here too when given playing time. In real time the next couple of plays after the special play were missed assignments that would throw the team off. If the game was a dunk contest or 3 point contest he is your man. ASW is were he would shine the most. Think about how depleted our team has been if he was playable he would have played. I wish him only the best.

    Wow. Good for him. That’s a heck of a difference. Some players just need to be in the right situation I guess. I didn’t know he was shooting that well.

    ISO ball all game long doesn’t allow others to get in rhythm.

    And then when a player can produce in an instant when they finally get a chance to do something they are victimized here. I’m guilty of this too.

    We don’t even try to play any other way. Stagnant offense. Seems they don’t even run pnr as much as they used to.

    Pressure might have something to do with it. He went from a contending team (lots of pressure to make the most of your time on the floor, fighting for a spot in the rotation, etc) to the worst team in the East (no pressure to get playing time, can just jack it up and no one would care).

    You can literally stand in one place to wait for the ball, though. And when the ball comes to you, it's because you're usually open, as the defender guarding you, helps off you to go to the isolated action.

    It's like a warm-up 3. You're just waiting to receive the ball, and you're wide open when you take the shot. How does that not get you into rhythm?

    I see a Terrance Jones story all over again.
    This dude just isn’t a good player.

    No capela and Chriss is in love w/ 3 pointers over all the things a center should really do (rebounds and setting picks).
