Who knows. I feel like the Rockets never tell us squat. No one had any idea what was up with Ryno for 2 weeks.
Before this stretch of DNPs Nene looked bad and really hasn't looked that good this whole year. It sucks that Wright possibly was damaged goods. Looks like MDA is giving a trial run to Anderson to see what he can do in the back up 5 role.
Rockets said it was a hip. Then they said he might be back one game, he wasn't. Then MDA said Anderson was a couple games away. Then he was back in a couple games. Do we need to know his T-cell count? How much info do we need?
Yeah I think Nene is resting and will get more playing time towards the end of the season to get him some reps going into the playoffs. I bet we see a lot of Wright and Nene in the last 5 or so games.
Could’ve used Nene tonight, we looked too small, Blake and Drummond did us on the boards, Total was 66-52 advantage and they had 16 offensive rebounds. MDA needs to read the situation of a game and adjust, still worrisome!
Nene is probably fine. The Rockets really just want to experiment and see the things they can do with a "5 out" offense with Anderson at C. They can save Nene. Nene is best used against Steven Adams in the playoffs if the two teams meet up.
Yes. It's sad to see him declining so quickly. Last season, he was awesome. I'm sure Houston would have won Game 5 against the Spurs if Nene wasn't injured.
i believe hes fine as well. hes been practicing with the team from what ive seen on social media vids/photos. for as much as the rest police come around, you would think they would be happy nene is able to take days off and the rockets still win. but apparently sitting a game or two and its nene is hurt and cant play at all. the plan from day 1 was maintenance for nene until the playoffs
Joey Dorsey looks so much like Nene now that I think about it. Not play wise but facial/features wise.
It's been more than a game or two. That's why I asked. He hasn't played in the last 4 games, and has only played more than 5 minutes in one of the last 9 games. That seems a little more than just maintenance. Yes, we have still been winning, but honestly, if he needs that much rest now then we really need a true backup in the future, so Clint can rest too. Is it asking for too much to want another real center, taller than Clint, who can actually play the position more than part time?
its maintenance imo. we play guys who are 6'8 at the center position and thats regardless if guys are healthy or not. its just part of houstons many lineups. another "real center" wouldn't even be playing more than part time. not on this team
My point!! There are teams who have backups that aren't 6'8 at the center position, who are more like Nene's size, but who can actually play more than every other game.
