Without Capella our lack of height kills us. This is a risk that needs to be addressed before the playoffs or else we risk having to watch more small ball with Ryan Anderson at center (which doesn’t work at all for defense and rebounding).
Yup we got exposed alright. If we don’t have: Capela Luc CP PJ fouls out Then we can’t defend. Might have something to do with those 4 players being our best defenders but that’s just me taking a stab in the dark here
25-5, but we are now missing Capela, CP3, and Luc. If we didn't lose CP3 for possibly multiple weeks then I'm sure the tone would be a lot different. We are also playing the Warriors, Celtics, and Thunder very very soon. I'm surprised how well we handled Luc's absence, but expecting the Rockets to pull through games without Luc AND Capela AND CP3 is too much to ask for unless one of our non-rotation players really shines when Mike is forced to add one of them in.
I get it man. I'm with you. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the season. This is MDA at his finest though. He has always been a stubborn coach and he will not expand his rotation. We were actually fortunate to get Luc this year, otherwise we would be stuck on a 8 man rotation. From what I can remember, MDA has never been big on developing players, so Morey has to do a better job of finding veterans that MDA can trust otherwise the rotation will remain what it is. It sucks. I hate it, but that's just the kind of coach MDA has always been. I know people love using GS as an example, but even with the injuries those guys still have 2 stars playing. Spurs would be a better example, but Pop is just a really special coach.
honestly. . . I am good with the Rockets Just get tot he playoffs 100% healthy and I will take my chances Even if they squeak in . . . . I don't prefer that but. . . Rocket River
How do you think the Warriors should adjust their roster after being taken to overtime twice by these same Lakers? These Lakers are dangerous!!!
Injuries happen. MDA needs some players. Tucker-harden-ryno-ariza-gordan not enough . Black isn't going to get it done and Nene is half a player We have 6.5 man rotation. Who can fill in? Seems like brown and Williams are going to have to give us 30+ min combined. This might get ugly.
