    Yes he did. I do wish he would just take more shots every game from not only behind the arc but in the paint.

    First off how dare you slander Gordon, second off Anderson can’t get open/make space unless he shoots at half court

    Ryan Anderson has no confidence in his shot right now, he is passing up at least several good looks every single game, and the resulting short shot clocks and turnovers are hurting the Rockets. I cringe every time Ryno pump fakes a decent look, he ain't fooling anybody, he can't drive to the basket and every defender knows it. I don't have a problem with his 27 footers, yes it would be nice if he shoots a few feet closer, but he just needs to shoot more, damn it.

    As for EG, his 3-point shot selection hasn't been great. He's definitely going through a slump right now, but most of the 3s he took in the last two games have been less than desirable. It's great that he remained aggressive and scored via drives, but he needs to be more selective on 3s. EG also has unlimited range, so I don't have a problem with him firing away the open 28 footer once in a while.

    I couldn’t say it better. I wonder how/what the coaching staff is communicating with Ryno with regards to his reluctance to fire away.

    Early on this season he was a different player. CP3 would feed him and he’d shoot it. Now, it’s clear he’s lost confidence...even with the 3-6 from 3 tonight.

    If we fans see his reluctance, the coaching staff surely sees it. Wouldn’t they just tell him “hey don’t worry about the misses. Fire away at the slightest daylight.” You’d think the MDA would address this with Ryno...

    Ryan can get the best passes from CP3 but he is the only one that can shoot it.

    The thing that is so irking with Gordon is he starts firing from the 3 line once he gets in, since he is in a slump won't it be better to try to get himself going by driving to the basket and gather his confidence by scoring in the paint first, I mean seriously isn't that a better way to enable his rhythm instead of shooting his way out of the slump by taking ill-advised shots ..??

    Hey Ryan Anderson,you suck at almost everything. You really only do one thing of any value, pulling defenders away from the paint.

    Could you please stop doing that.

    Maybe he should just stop at half court and shoot from there.

    You know, to stretch the defense out further.

    EG is shooting only 33% from 3 lol. Wow. I had no idea he's been THAT bad. Ryno's only 36% too!!!!

    Harden & CP3 shouldn't be way more efficient from 3 considering there's are the most difficult. Harden especially.

    If defenses would follow him all the way out to half court and let us play 4 on 4, then he would certainly do that.

    Defenses only follow him out to his effective range, which is 3-5 feet behind the line. I don't understand how so many posters can be confused by such a simple concept.

    Well, it's not best case scenario by a long shot (pun intended) but I'll tell you what I can take. I can take 3/6 from 3, being aggressive around the boards and at least trying as a 6'10" human being to throw down a dunk.

    Man Anderson is kinda going headcase mode. He shot that first one from about 30 and swished it, the next 2 or 3 plays later he pump faked but actually had it in mind to shoot a step back and DRILLED it. My man. Just let it fly.

    Gordon, idk what happened but his balance seems off right now. Like he's aiming instead of shooting. They pounded it into the ground last night but he's still an effective scorer driving to the cup. Again, just let it fly.

    Not even Bill Worrell uses Mars as his long distance location. That's physically impossible. I would have gone with Beaumont, Clear Lake,

    I think they both fear KD treatment leaguewide

    ryno is actually doing fine in the recent 3 game stretch, i am seeing his fighting spirit, active defensively, though still making silly mistakes fouling durant on 3s, but he is aggressive on the boards, offensive and defensive, that's the way to play, if he can keep it up, then we can play him in crunch time, even when he is not making shots.....

    Maybe Bill should add Lake Charles to the rotation now considering the owner.
