I’d rather have any of those players, on their current contracts, versus Anderson on his. I don’t fault players for being injured. That’s a part of the game. Also if memory serves, Anderson is very familiar with IR. * I excluded far more talented players to make the comparison fair.
I hope I’m wrong but I have a sneaky suspicion we will really hate that contract if it ends up closing our small championship window. We are the only top team with an anchor like this smh.
This team is so screwed with Anderson. I don’t care what stats anyone wants to bring up. The guy sucks.
I think people expected him to be more consistent. The home/road thing is ridiculous. I think it's reasonable to expect him to play with more consistency. We didn't all say "well, he'll be damn good on the road but suck at home" when we signed him.
His home/road discrepancy is indeed a mystery. His overall average is about right. That means if he is shooting poorly at home then he is shooting great on the road. We were a very good road team last season. Anderson's shooting could be a factor. To me, as long as his overall performance is good, that means he is helping the team as expected. I am not giving him a pass. I just accept what he is regardless of his contract. In fact, in some ways, all shooters are "inconsistent" from game to game. It's just that Anderson's good games and bad games somehow fall into two neat categories, namely, road and home. I think if you divide any shooter's shooting games, the goods and the bads probably have about the same numbers.
i was surprised even worrell brought this up a couple nites ago. morey's quant desk is probably stuck nowhere trying to figure out this quandary
"Anderson is just an inconsistent shooter. He's always been known as a streaky shooter." "If he continues to shoot this poorly again at home this season, then someone or something will have to change. Or maybe not. The Rockets can just trade him away or something." HAHAHAHA
I made it a rule to not click on articles or videos that are captioned "Houston, we have a problem" a few years ago. If everyone follows this rule, maybe in a decade or so writers will stop using that line.
