He knows his role, I like it. Now if only Morey and MDA knew his role... he'd be an excellent ball boy. When PBev comes back I see no reason for Brewer to see the court. PBev and KJ should be splitting about 40 minutes together (whether equally or unequally) on any given night. KJ is hands down better then Brewer at this point. A back court rotation of Beverley / Gordon Harden / KJ Ariza / Dekker Is much better than what we are running right now. Ennis and Brewer make me want to die when watching the game. Plus Harden, Ariza and Gordon are all playing about 5 minutes too many per game.
I agree with the personnel here, the only tricky thing is KJ seems to be most effective when hes paired with Harden. KJ is at his best when he's hustling for offensive rebounds, cutting to the basket, and occasionally hitting the open 3. Without Harden, we see more of KJ with the ball in his hands, which, at this point in his career, is a bad thing. Unfortunately, this is the case with Beverley and Ariza as well - they're also great complimentary pieces to Harden, but will struggle when they're on the floor without a ball-handler/shot creator. Gordon is the next closest thing we have to Harden in terms of facilitating, but it's still not even close. Definitely going to be tough on Dan Tony to figure this out, but I think we can all agree Brewer needs to be removed from the rotation.
It's one thing to hold a player to a higher standard, but to penalize him and bench him for being at a higher standard? The amount of dumb things Corey does... Honestly, I think MDA has a great scheme. His rotations make me question his IQ.. Is he able to see the bigger picture? Expanding.. Are any of our last three coaches able to see the bigger picture? Maybe this is dawning on me a little late.. Coaches are generally not the brightest cats.
i think rockets org wanna milk every penny of harden, ariza, bev and soon to be anderson. instead of using their bench, they'd rather play these guys to death and i say..WHY TAKE THEM OUT ALL? play them the whole 48minutes! **** them. make them cough up blood after the games. bring an oxygen tank on the bench if they get tired. if they start moving slow give them a few whips, that should ge tthem moving. when they get their rotation set and eveyrone's heatlhy, i wanna see blood dripping from their mouths! NO REST FOR THE WICKED ARIZA! first team to have 4 playrs avg 48mpg!
