    I agree. Green played very well at 4 last year vs Chicago. PJ Tucker needs to be benched.

    Just curious, how many games do we lose in a row before Morey makes a trade?

    Here we go again....

    Anderson bricking WIDE OPEN 3 pointers and letting Randle/Kuzma go off on him.
    PJ Tucker bricking WIDE OPEN 3 pointers and giving up stupid fouls, AND1 dunks/posterizing from no-name G-League players.

    I believe the NBA has figured out how to beat the Rockets. Attack Anderson and PJ Tucker FTW!

    Imagine if Ryno wasn't utter ****ing trash last season. Knicks or third team would have been OK taking on his contract if we provided young talent + picks.

    Now we are stuck with this loser for two more seasons.

    Oh please... PJ almost single handedly costed us the game by fouling Brandon Ingram with .7 seconds. Talk about moronic low IQ basketball on display there.

    The only reason why PJ was in the game in the 2OT was due to the fact Capela and Harden were out of the game. Yes he got the put-back layup for the lead however if it wasn't for Tarik Black tapping it back up on the glass PJ would've never found the ball. That Caruso dunk on him will make top 10 plays tonight on SC which is sorry because I had no idea he could dunk period.

    We came back due to the benching of Anderson in the 4th quarter. MDA finally came to realization he can't play him anymore due to his many inefficiencies.

    PJ Tucker was having a bad game until those 2 plays. He needs to cut it out with the bad fouls. He's been giving up and-1s on layups and even 3 pointers way too much. I'm okay with playing him down the stretch in close games because he usually does well (Warriors, Cavs, this game).

    I have nothing good to say about Ryno.

    I agree. He does have a knack for making a timely hustle play/basket down the stretch but he also needs to provide a little more offense for the minutes he plays besides just 2-4 points a game.

    PJ Tucker needs to lose weight. He is below average for mobility at the SF spot. Arguably even the PF spot somehow.

    Otherwise Green will absorb his minutes. And god knows Luc will.

    Outside that, what can you really expect from him on offense? He his his open shots decently enough this year, despite low % lately.

    Gimme a break, Jordan had great teammates in the latter half of his career, thats why he got 6 rings! His first 9 years he couldn't get past the Pistons because he was alone, if it was all him then he would have gotten rings before PJ and Pippen and Rodman etc all arrived.

    As for Hakeem, his legacy was hurt by not whining for better teammates. If he had gone to a better team maybe he would be considered the goat right now instead of Jordan.

    Oh and Anderson is highly disappointing trash on both ends of the court. His closeouts have been the worst on the team by far. His defensive instincts are beyond poor.

    I dont think Tucker is bad, at the amount you signed him for he is playing to his contract. He was brought in to be a big butt and hit 3s, unfortunately his shooting has been underwhelming but he is still key against teams with big frontlines like Memphis.

    Anderson oth is just garbage due to his deal. He is clearly just a bench player and should not be starting against anyone, unfortunate that Morey signed him to such a big deal because he is holding us back so much. I am pretty sure we are stuck with him until the last year of his deal because no team would want this stinking pile of **** on thwir roster.

    :D

    Do we need to quote the posts this guy has made in the past?

    No credibility, no basketball intelligence, end of story.

    Both are more X or Z factors than consistent.

    Ryan Anderson is a similar brent barry type player. His career is slowly moving down hill early because he is not the focus on offense. The rockets got him at a heavy price. Probably double for what hes worth.

    But hes a good guy, and has went out and bought christmas stuff for kids in need, does alot around the orginazation based on the rockets pregame shows. Hes not a bad person, and its a shame here people are so hard on him cause the money. He probably better suited coming off the bench. But ryan just need more shots, hes like a king bullard, just need to get him open.

    ryno is a bottom tier player if his 3s are not falling....and his contract is too huge for us to add more quality player
