I think as long as the team is choosing the proper matchups for post ups and trying to make sure he's getting the ball as deep as possible it's actually an advantage and adds a different wrinkle to the Rockets offense.
I'm still on the Gerald Henderson at the minimum plan. He's had a year off to recover, and he will have to get in game shape, but there hasn't been a time in the past that MCW was better than him, so I'd expect that to be the same.
Its hard to be too critical of a guy with a FG% right below Clint and James. His .373 3P% is above CP3 and well above EG and Green, so I think what he is doing is fine. Its some of the others who are really bricking it too much that worries me more. With so many teams putting up huge numbers I feel we need another veteran who is a more consistent shooter as backup for offense. I hope I am wrong.
I don't want to dampen spirits too much - but when we talk about this reminding us of 2016... We had a 4 game winning streak against a mediocre Thunder and Clippers teams and some awful Magic and Kings teams. After that, another 4 game losing streak to the awful Nets, Mavs, Nuggets, and mediocre Celtics got Kevin McHale the axe. We're not out of the woods yet, but I'm also feeling better.
melo > ryno, anus = luc. now we just need to find a piece that's > Ariza, and we'll be back to championship level again. get it done Morey!!
I'll take the win, but that was an atrocious performance. Rockets have a long way to go to being "back." I will say they seem to be playing harder which is a start.
the entire 2nd half they should have scored maybe 15pts, if not for the refs trying to keep the final score in line w/ the vegas line by sending CHI to the line an obscene number of times
