It's not really Anderson's fault. He just doesn't fit the style rockets plays anymore, especially against these warriors where they put 4 guards out there. I would trade him for someone else most definitely. There are just not much where i would consider trading for tho.
He's already a negative value contract that will cost us deeply to move... Let's add the stink of dissension to the mix to really drive up the cost of moving him... think big picture...
I don't like thinking about next year myself. The reality is that a lot of these guys are older now and they don't have many good years left. Hell for some of them, this could of been their last really good year. I feel for them. It was a great year and it sucks finishing the year like this. I feel pretty shitty myself.
I think it's more about CP3 getting older and even more injury prone and then adding on top of that his max contract and little to no wiggle room left to make the roster improvements you need to beat a team like GS. We basically need a 3rd star to ensure deep WCF runs and pushing these Warriors to the brink and possibly beating them. Ryan Anderson basically ****s us. 2 more years and over 40 million left to be a piss poor cheerleader. You can't overcome that and build a roster sure enough to beat the Warriors next year or the following year as CP3 ages into his twilight years.
The great news is, no way cp3 bails on us after how it all went down. We just need Lebron to get swept and come to Houston next season.
I think all our players care and have heart. They busted their tails this series. The loss of CP3 and the Warriors talent was just too much to overcome.
That’s some sweet revisionist history you got there. That “incredible” team wasn’t that “incredible” team until it became that “incredible” team.
They're going to need that mental strength to continually try to beat the Warriors with an unfavorable chance of success. They played their hearts out this season, and we can only hope they keep that heart next season. But only so much you can do against a Warriors team who have the uncanny knack of having the best player on the other team injured on their way to the Championships all the time.
I’m super proud of the team. They won’t get the trophy but I feel like the defense and effort was enough to win tonight if outside factors don’t contribute. Lost by 9 and 18 points were blatantly gifted to the other team.
I love the grit and heart this team showed. They battled and clawed their way to a 7th game at home. With better luck, they easily could have been playing in the Finals. This was a championship-caliber team that simply lost to another championship-caliber team.
I feel bad for these guys because they were screwed over by the refs. That being said, Ariza was an embarrassment offensively going 0-12. Capela was a joke from the foul line(I think he finished 2-6). Harden stunk again from 3 and had some awful turnovers late. And Green was pretty bad too, although he's always been streaky. Don't get me started on Ryno. Frankly, D'Antoni should've stuck with Luc. He's a non-factor offensively, but he at least could've offered some perimeter D. The Rockets were jobbed by the league and its company men officials. But they did themselves no favors with their offensive performance in the 2nd half.
