Source: Markieff Morris is one step away from the Rockets

Compared to the REAL big lineups in Utah, TOR, DEN, and PHI they are relatively small with that lineup.
Markeiff (6’10)
Faried (6’8)
EG (6’4)
Harden (6’5)
CP (6’0)

 

How was Rivers & Faried's defense before coming here? Oh my bad, they weren't playing at all


Moral of the story, different teams & different systems produce different results. Not sure why ppl don't get this

 

Lakers are now trying to understand his healthy condition.

 

Someone please riddle me this...

Cp3
Harden
Gordon
Tucker
Clint

Austin
Green
Farid
Shumpert

Where exactly does Morris fit? Morey doesnt play 10 guys EVER.

and he def wont play 10 guys in the playoffs.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO....i doubt he signs here...tbh....dont see time for him on the court.

 

he should play over green

 

Green should not be getting playoff minutes on a contender so him

Morris is also better than anyone else on that bench

 

damn thats how yall feel about Green?

He has been playing outstanding lately....lets see how this plays out... me personally dont see any time for him on the court in Houston. Lets see.

 

I love green, see my old comments about him. But Markeif is a perfect 3 & D guy.

 

How badly is he hurt? does anyone know?

 

I just seen the highlights to refresh my memory.... wow yea... he is better than green...and if healthy would be a valuable part of the squad.

 

I don’t know how bad they were doing but Faried is still bad in defense.

Rivers is hit or miss.

Both these things align 100% with what I’ve seen of them the last few years.

 

one step away bad neck and all

 

I think if healthy, Kieff could easily make a push at starting on playoff roster. Gordon/Shumpert/Faried coming off the bench, maybe Rivers if you really want to stretch the roster. Green likely out of normal minutes unless offense flailing.

 

If Morris gets here, he should take starting PF and move PJ back to his original position at SF and used as a backup PF. Eric goes back to his 6th man role.

 

No he's not. Bad is a liability like Ryan Anderson. Faried is not even close to that

 

Cp3/Austin
Harden/Green
Gordon/Shumpert
Tucker/Morris
Clint/Faried

He'll definitely eat up some of Faried and Green's minutes.

 

He’s a streak shooter honestly and his defense is subpar .... Green I’m talking. I’m being Real here, it was a nice run last year but he hasn’t had that good of a season this year

 

Morris is needed for his size and skill set => solid 2 way veteran => starts on 3/4 of the team in the league.

8 man rotation
Paul, Harden, Shumpert, Morris, Clint
Gordon(2/3) Tucker(3/4/5) Faried(4/5) => Harden play most of the game.

House over Austin over Green if need

 

I think Green would be out of main playoff rotation. Shumpert starts. Bench unit of Gordon, Rivers, Morris, and Faried.

 

Morey doesn't play anyone

You could move EG back to the bench, push Austin or Green out of the rotation and start Morris and Tucker to be bigger.
