    I wouldn't anticipate Joe or Brandan playing until after the all-star break but who knows?

    Let Joe take his time.

    He just needs to be ready to fry Curry’s ass like bacon on the switch in the WCF:D

    Exactly.

    We finally have someone who is comfortable posting up on the block. Attack Curry like the Warriors work every team.
    Rockets can incorporate more cutters from that angle of attack.

    Post Ups (17/18) stats.nba.com
    Player
    *******************************Freq*******************ppp******************NBA percentile
    Harden***************************** 2.2%****************** 0.80************************** 34.6
    Capela***************************** 3.7%****************** 0.68************************** 15.2
    Ryan Anderson********************** 3.4%***************** 1.13*************************** 93.8
    CP3******************************* 1.9%****************** 0.83*************************** 42.4
    Nene******************************* 5.1%***************** 0.92*************************** 62.6


    Notice the top frequency on the team “was” Nene at 5.1%

    Joe Johnson*************************18.0%*******************0.96*************************67.7
    Brandan Wright**********************8.3%********************0.80*************************34.6

    D’Antoni will exploit that PG(CP3/Harden) with SF (Joe J) in PnR switch leading to Post Up on the box.
    Or Joe Johnson playing PF. It’s harder for CP3 to get the pass by Durant or Draymond.


    Houston can run multiple screens as they often do to get the favorable matchup...feature Joe-n-the-box.

    That probably deserves something that highlights it towards the top of its own section within the game forum. Let's ask the teacher Mr. @Os Trigonum ... he always knows what to do.

    I had a lot of issues with the feed today and didn't see the first 5 min, but I didn't hear ANY mention of Johnson or Wright.

    Are they not allowed to speak abt his intention to sign with us until he clears waivers? Or did I just miss the discussion?

    Joe has not completed his buyout so we cant mention it publicly just yet.

    He hasn’t cleared waivers, so hypotheticall a team could still claim him and take on his contract. But it is highly improbable.

    Wow some really great numbers to digest here.

    So even at that significant volume he was still getting nearly 1 ppp. On the Jazz as well, who have had injuries and offensive struggles.

    This bodes very well for us with our level of spacing and shooting.

    Talk about speaking and not saying anything... CP3 gives 3 minutes of cliche answers.

    Yes, JJ will have the role meant for Melo if the Rockets had obtained Melo earlier this season.

    JoeJ Post Up: 18.0% frequency, 0.96 ppp, 67.7 percentile.
    compare that to Melo (17/18)
    Melo Post Up: 14.7% frequency, 0.84 ppp, 43.9 percentile.

    Now Joe Johnson has not been so great in Iso this year; but like you said...that was with Utah.
    Put him with Houston and one can expect an uptick in the offensive numbers.

    JoeJ Iso: 14.3% frequency, 0.79 ppp, 35.7 percentile.

    Melo ast% this year: 7.0%
    JoeJ ast% this year: 9.2%
    Melo ast% last year: 14.5% (crazy that it was better with NY Knicks)
    JoeJ ast% last year: 12.8%

    Eric Gordon is currently at 12.2% (ast%)
