https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/basketball/news/rockets-kenneth-faried-listed-as-inactive/ Wonder if this has anything to do with the coaches stupidly giving him no playing time even though Clint Capela has been absolutely awful and the Warriors have been going small almost all series. I can't believe we're going to take one of Morey's best in-season acquisitions and not utilize him at all in the playoffs.
Faried hasn't played well when he has had minutes. He really needs to focus on becoming a better team and individual defender during the off-season. He can have a few more years with the rockets if he just tries harder on that end.
I would take Faried’s energy and scoring ability over Capela’s any day if the week. At least he can shoot the ball and knows what to do with it on a picnic n roll. Capela basically decided he can’t drive the lane and play against Green so he’s almost completely useless offensively
This series Fareid is +2 in 5 min. of playing time. So can't defend is little premature....if we can play crappy Capela/House/Green then why not him? Last year in WCF with same excuse Rockets didn't play Nene... but how come same Nene whenever given chance in the series is playing better than capela? And Nene last year was much better than this year. Fareid's defense is not bad if he plays at PF..that's where he played when Rockets beat GS in the 3rd game of regular season. And he may be able to play at center against GS small lineup.
ppl here are mostly over-x-and-o-ing... FARIED BRINGS THE FANTASTIC ENERGY.... his ENERGY is contagious and his ENERGY is a game changer forget about lineups and x and o s
