Because Harden forgot how to play professional basketball because he needs to tighten things up. It's going to be a real long year if Harden keeps jacking up contested 3s and barreling into a crowd of bodies like he's been doing.
Harell and Patterson are both 6'7, only 2 inches taller than 6'5 PJ Tucker so PF that can defend while being 6'9 and also not a stiff on offense? Bro you are thinking of Pascal Siakam who is gonna make max money. We already got a 6'8 pf who could defend his name is Thabo Sefalosha except MDA didnt plat him at the PF spot. PJ Tucker sliding to the 3 is wishful thinking as MDA can't do coaching adjustments to save his life. He would rather make PJ Tucker the center and WB the PF as we go ultra small ball.
Agreed I thought the defense was solid if not great especially in the 1st half. The offense had nice pace and we did some good things but we shot the ball awful. If harden goes 5-13 and EG 7-19 we win the game by 8 plus and that’s not even good shooting by either guy. This team is fine We’re going to be contending for the 1 seed with clips and Denver imo.
The Houston Rockets are descending into the redneck white trash loserey like the rest of Texas. Break out the Confederate flag, opoids, and El Camino's..
Imo if you actually know what your were watching last not and don’t get so focused on the loss or the blown lead. This team looked great. We had Russ who’s a huge piece playing in his first game with these guys. We had chandler (god it’s nice to have a real backup center) playing for the first time and he was fantastic. Thabo and Ben two wings playing for the first time with this group. And then House who played here last year under strange circumstances but he’s here now and has his contract so imo he’s at peace and can do his thing now. That’s 4.5 guys that never played with this core ever and they all did well imo. I think the rockets are going to be very dangerous. When have the rockets ever even been in a game we’re harden makes 2 fgs? The answer is never. We had a huge lead the ball movement and pace was a sight for sore eyes. This team looked fast and scary. We’re good
This bucks should weaker than last year bucks. No defense and blind to shoot 3. It is really sucks. We need a strong power forward who can shoot 20 plus. I think Griffin is quite good
Usually the defence in 1st to 2nd quarter are not tight, we can shoot more 3. In 3rd and 4th quarter, I suggest to shoot more 2 unless it is an open court. We can more rely on caplea and power forward, but Houston does not have this kind of player.
We watched the same game - the problem was the 3rd quarter and early part of the 4th. EG couldn't hit anything and kept chucking while Russ and Harden had two made FG's each to that point. Think Harden was 2-11 and Russ 2-8 ? Russ did keep them close after the Bucks took the lead …. but it wasn't enough.
I hate to say it but it doesnt look like that move is practical . Harden himself clearly doesnt think he can use it.
