Just finished watching the game on record. Ego, jeez my man; please stay this hot for the entire post season. Glad we blew it out early and got all the regulars a decent low-mid 20s in minutes and played the deep reserves. Glad to see isoJoe starting to round into shape and get a better feel for the offense and his role on this team. He probably won’t play much in the playoffs but if he does I think it’s safe to assume it’s to post up a smaller player and facilitate from inside the post. Gerald clearly understands his potential role if he makes an appearance in the playoffs. Firecracker. Come in and jack it. If your hot ride it. Glad to see him get the 4th and just get some freedom to play.
As for joe chee, sigh... He is so timid and just ridiculously lost on offense. He kept creeping into the paint and disrupt/ruining the spacing. Especially considering we were getting isoJoe post up facilitation practice. He just kept wanting to be inside for a rebound but he was clogging up next to Tarik. He is so hesitant to just shoot. Not that some of the passes he made were bad because one or two was the right read but mostly he was just passing it up. Glad to see they ran a play for him. He missed but oh well it instills in him that this is what we want you doing. His length really is troublesome tho and he can become a solid defender/bench guyif he could just develop at 75% the level that capela did. His block was a foul but a) it wasn’t called and b) it just goes to show how long and disruptive he can be
Agree on all points Especially on Iso Joe. He should be in there mainly for post ups vs smaller players. Against the Blazers I feel that was the game plan, but in the heat of the action the rest of the team forgot. Old adage of the prize fighter: everyone has a game plan until they get hit. Players need to know JJ’s role even among the may lay. It’s not transition. That’s pretty much non existent.
Rockets have lost ONCE since weeks BEFORE the ASB If I'm dreamin, remind who the World Series Champs are. H-Town so thowd right now !!!!!! Multiple rings incoming
More so lol. Everyone was out there just trying to get there’s and play, mostly everyone was being selfish and playing streetball style “my turn”. Except zhou, he was just like no thanks.
At three different points this season, Rockets have had a 10-game winning streak..... Oh wow. And ONE 5-game losing And ONE FMVP ? Spoiler And, no doubt, ONE MVP because.... Spoiler James Harden will win the 2018 NBA MVP
Time will give him maturity, he is just getting use to how MDA want to run a play for him. He will develop into a catch and shoot Yao Ming type player if he trains with the coaching and strength conditioning staff more often.
Just saying we got may have the longest winning streak within USA than any other team, I believe it's a 29 winning streak within US soil. I could be wrong..
they've earned it! good to see MDA valuing rest right now. health and durability may be a deciding factor deep in the playoffs.
These tanking teams are seriously just a waste of our f**king time. We've played with so little intensity the last 2 games, and still blowouts. Just stay healthy and get that rest.
