    I know it’s hard for Rivers to get into a rhythm, but I want him to score more. He should work on catch and shooting. He is a important player for us.

    A partial guarantee isn't less than the minimum it's just not guaranteed. If you keep the player for the whole year you still end up paying the same amount which is the minimum.

    Rockets play no real contenders in their next 64 games.

    I would hope he is more of a force since his younger days. Experience does make players better when they have his natural abilities.

    I wouldn't credit MDA too much for James' skill, but allowing him to take over the majority of shots for years certainly did give him opportunities to put up huge numbers.

    Clemons can get abused defensively on switches. Coaches really need to figure a work around or he will be relegated to spot minutes here and there depending on the matchup. Dude can score and defend ok on the perimeter...

    I mean, Ben Mac isn't doing all that great defensively, so I'll take my chances with Clemons.

    MDA should be moved up within the organization and relieved of his coaching duties. Simply put, he plays bad players, small ball, and chokes in the playoffs.

    Humor me, what coach that's available would not choke in the playoffs? Would love to know the list of candidates you consider worthy.

    Agreed but Ben Mac is a lot bigger and can’t get exploited inside as easily.

    MDA's system allowed James to thrive as PG.
    There's no doubt about it.

    I remember one of the MIA players crowding James on a 3 attempt
    and getting his foot in James' landing space (an automatic foul) and
    James turned his ankle on the landing. NO CALL

    And here James is limping. Those calls are supposed to be made to
    protect players just for this occasion.

    Thank you. That was refreshing. There's so much garbage in the GARM these days. It's always great to read a gem.

    Agreed. There's something to be said for those teams that keep it together and believe in what they're out there doing. Long term GM, long term owner, long term coach... that's a good combination. Tilman is the new kid on the block, but he seems to be on board regardless of all the bullshit attempts at jokes you see on here.
