    Just because “you can’t neutralize green” doesn’t mean “you think we can’t win a 7 game series”

    You are putting words in his mouth.

    The reason green is so good is because he is a unicorn of sorts. No player in this league can neutralize him outside of lebron and giannis.

    But just because you can’t neutralize him, does not mean you can’t slow him down and/or beat the warriors.

    Quit trying to feed your opinion onto others as fact

    Honestly . .. the worse part of Ryan's game not is the Hesitating
    I like his hard charges to the rim
    Unfortunately he does not go up strong often enough

    I wish his mentality was more. . . "TRADE ME? F*** YOU I'M GONNA SHOW YOU WHY YOU DON'T TRADE ME!!!!"
    Rather than "WOE IS ME . . I WILL BE TRADED"

    I think Green's Rep is outgrowing his skill
    I think He gets away with alot of Stuff on Rep Alone
    I think the Warriors get some of the most favorable reffiing in the league

    this is the problem with Ryno

    shooting in December: 37% from the field, 31% from 3, 50% TS...7 ppg

    shooting in January: 40% from the field, 31% from 3, 54% TS...9 ppg

    that’s terrible when by far your best skill is shooting the rock

    almost all of the guys u listed bring a lot more to the table than Ryno, or their contract isn’t nearly as terrible as his is

    most people could live with Ryno’s subpar play if we weren’t paying him 20 mil/yr to stink it up on the court

    Agreed. I think Ryan need to play unafraid.

    I think we see a bounce back after the deadline.

    He shot 39% in October on 8.4 attempts per game in 8 games, and 43% in November on 6.6 attempts per game in 12 games.

    In the 27 games since then, he shot 31% basically in both December/January, on basically 4.5 attempts per game.

    So his overall average is still decent because of the hot start (20 great games vs 27 bad games, shooting wise) combined with more volume (8.4 and 6.6 attempts per game among those first 20, 4.5 per game over the last 27).

    It's of course the case of two Ryans... but right now bad Ryan is definitely winning out. Will that continue? So far looks like it.

    Even if not... IF POSSIBLE to either (1) shed his salary, or (2) find a more consistent replacement... isn't that something they should entertain?

    Hopefully it is somewhere else.
    I wouldn’t give half the s*** I give if Ryno was making half the money he is making now to be a Waste management dumpster fire.

    you can't really equate Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson?

    - EG has other ways to score, which he shows us every night
    - EG doesn't make $20 million a year
    - EG can d up his position at least average
    - EG doesn't make $20 million a year
    - EG hasn't been trending worse and worse
    - EG doesn't make $20 million a year
    - It's a guards league and EG fits well with Harden and CP3, which is really the engine that makes it all go
    - EG doesn't really make $20 million a year

    Well... you get the idea.

    lol, yeah, if Ryno was making half his salary I’d barely talk about him.

    wasting 20 mil/yr on him is killing us...if you’re giving somebody that much money, they better be giving u very good production, instead he’s giving us bench level production

    Well we would be underdogs for sure. There isn’t a move to be made that doesn’t involve acquiring a superstar that would make us favorites over them

    ryan is not trending worse and worse
    ryan is shooting 36% on 3s in the last 8 games
    eg also is not STRETCH 4
    ryan is stretch 4
    ryan is of the best stretch 4s in the league
    ryan is one of the greatest volume 3pt shooters of all times
    ryan is the best 4 floor spacer in the league his range is curyesque
    ryan can also d his position
    ryan can score the other ways but hes more of a team player that passes shots when not feeling it
    ryan shots 3 ball better than EG

    LOL no he didn't

    this isn't even about RA anymore

    its about you not willing to admit you're wrong about him

    Morey wants him gone, other GMs don't want him, Clutch & majority of the CFs think we're better off without him

    can you say the same as above statement with any other rocket's player??

    If all Eric Gordon was doing is stand still and wait for open 3 pters then yes, we should trade him too. Harden, same thing. But they do more than shoot a couple of times when completely open. Maybe if Anderson was actually doing his job instead of not taking any shots then Harden and Gordon will put up better nos.

    You are such a big fan of Ryan Anderson you think he is playing better than Harden or Gordon, gimme a break dude.

    36% when you suck at defense and all you do is shoot open 3 pters is bad. Anderson doesn't create for other people, in fact others need to baby him because he won't shoot if an opponent is in sneezing distance.

    How did he win gsw game? His opponent went off for 21 pts and Anderson was -2 that game.

    C’mon hakeem, stop!!

    How did Ryno win us that game?? CP3, Harden, Moute, Capela, and Tucker were easily more instrumental in winning that game than Ryno. Ryno wasn’t even a top 5 reason we won that game.
