not to mention that corner three that he hit at the end of the game... that pretty much iced the W for us :grin:
Against a lot teams, Lowry is strong enough to guard a two guard. But we need a 3rd PG or ball handler to let those two play together more. We don't have that guy yet.
If a player contributes to a win, we praise him. If a player contributes to a loss, we hang him. Thats just the way it goes. Some players (Ariza) just get hanged more often than others.
how would having a 3rd point guard or someone that can handle the ball allow brooks and lowry to play together? that makes little sense to me..
First, they'll fould more when they play together more,and one of them will have to be on the court at any time. 2nd. I'd rather see AB play SG on offense all the time with a lot of ball handling responsibility. A 3rd PG or ball handler might make it possible.
Yeah,that's true but when we are struggling on offense we need more than 3 points from him,although I admit it's not easy to score off the bench. Edit: Last 2 games,not 3. 2 points in 20 minutes with Lakers,and 3 points in 28 minutes against the Suns.
Last 3 road losses, we were playing the Suns, the Lakers, and the Hornets. We played the Knicks tonight. The Knicks.
And at home. We beat NO at home right before we lost to them on the road. The hate Ariza got is just unbelievable, twice as much as Rafer used to got despite the fact Ariza is one big part of the team, the team is doing better than everybody's expectation.
Rockets have no excuse for losing to Hornets. We had rest, it was not the 2nd of a b2b. Suns game we lost recently was on Trevor for jacking up a stupid 3 in front of Amare when he could've passed to Landry for a high percentage shot. His play in the 1st and 3rd quarter with Battier was atrocious. When the bench of Landry, Lowry, and Budinger came in, we jumped up to a big lead. When they go out and Battriza go in, what happens? We los the lead. Like I said before, it's pretty bad when fans of opposing teams WANT Ariza to stay in so their team can win.
I don't know what you are smoking. Rockets is not that much better than Hornets, if at all. We are not good enough to win every game on the road just because we "had rest". It' seven more ridiculous to blame Suns loss on Ariza, he was on the court when Rockets made that 28-15 run to end the first quarter. The entire starting lineup got beat by strong opponents starting lineup, not just Ariza alone. We are 40mil short in the starting lineup.
Choujie was arguing that one team was winning while the other team is losing. Based on playoff standings, both teams are currently losing.
