Sending positive vibes to Ryan Anderson thread

Agree. No other team has $20M sitting on the bench not because of injury but because he's ****ing garbage.

Closest examples I could find...

(Salary/Minutes per game in playoffs)
MIA Hassan Whiteside $23M/15.2 minutes
HOU Ryan Anderson $19.5M/9 minutes
WAS Ian Mahinmni $16M/8.8 minutes

 

Didn't Ryno used to post up smaller players? What happened to that guy?

 

I wish you realized that he matters a LOT right now.

Rockets got 65 wins against the rest of league without him. But when you go against a top loaded team like Warriors in a seven game series, you need to squeeze every much of productivity and efficiency with the salary cap space you are given to work with.

Heck, Warriors are loading up on stars that take a paycut.

OTOH, Rockets are handicapped by a scrub that stole a chunk of salary cap space and is giving them nothing.

Just think what if we had a decent player instead of Ryan and the Pacers would have accepted the trade for him and given us Paul George. Dont think that would have helped the ROckets this season?

Limited resources, my friend.

Limited resources.

 

I miss the Ryno that used to stand AT the three point line instead of ten feet behind it.

 

He must be equally terrible in practice

 

Hard t blame they guy when he can’t even get in the game.

 

Rockets have a nice sized percentage of the salary cap just sitting on the bench...imagine if we were actually getting some production with that money in this series

 

Shows how pathetic he is.

This ain't CF saying "Hahaha Anderson sucks!". This is a NBA coach saying he sucks.

Billy Donovan: "Can't play Kanter."
Mike: "Can't play Anderson."

GARBAGE

 

Is that not his fault? What reason has Ryno given D’antoni to play him? He’s not about to force feed someone as unreliable as Ryno minutes in the WCF against GS.

 

Partially his fault. But when a coach plays 6.5 guys in a road close out game, everything is questionable.

 

this guy is a 20 ton anchor around our necks

 

gotta love him coming right in the game and passing up a 3 to do his patented pump fake contested mid range brick.

what a player.

 

Maybe if we had a player that could actually produce then we could have played 7.5 and Chris Paul would not have pulled a hammy due to fatigue.

 

All we need from Rynot is 2 ****in 3s in the 3rd qtr.. The 3rd is usually when we become ISO heavy and the offense becomes stagnant... Just 2 ****in 3s! Then he can resume his spot on the floor next to the end of the bench..

 

But that's a legitimate question to be asked. I can guarantee you that Morey has been asking himself this very same question.

If the Rockets dont win game 7 and the championship, Anderson's contract and his non production will be one of the biggest reasons that we fail.

 

Mike would be more willing to expand the rotation if Ryno wasn’t so useless and so much of a lost cause. At this point in the playoffs with the level of basketball that’s being played, Ryno really has no business being on the floor. The same goes for scrubs like ISO Joe or whoever else is on the bench. Nene is a bad matchup against GS. Basically, the only guys who are reliable and can be trusted are Harden, CP3, Ariza, Tuck, Clint, Green, Ego, and Moute before injuring his shoulder. Everyone else I don’t even want to see on the floor while the game is competitive.

 

Sounds like that on the coaching staff and management. Both had 82 games to figure it out.
