The nerv of this man. This is not even basketball at this point. It’s a ****ing math game that he and Morey are trying to play. I have so much fun watching the nuggets, pacers and raptors play as opposed to this brand of basketball. I don’t mind shooting a lot of threes just don’t go so extreme with it.
What he was saying though was the players were not taking the open threes at times. They were hearing the criticism and going to the basket when it's not there on occasion. He's saying the Rockets need to play their game and take those shots.
not posting his entire quote doesn't present the entire context. do better FTR this answer is exactly what they did tonight
Exactly, this is what PJ and House have been doing. Half the time they aren't ready to shoot when the pass gets there. Once you pump or hesitate the defense has rotated back into position. Ironically while everyone keeps harping on the offense our defense has fallen off a cliff. We are actually getting stretched on the perimeter and it's a red carpet to the basket with no shot blocker. We're also very late on closeouts and giving up wide open 3's.
The hornets game was over before it started. This magic game got out of hand pretty quick too. Don't really think the offense has stalled but instead the other team whooped rockets ashe!
Crap defense, no Gordon, older tired team, not enough bench, lack of length, lack of lob threat, no Capella to erase lazy defense on drives and I have to guess some internal player strife - it's all adding up.
If Tucker is not shooting those open threes then wtf is his purpose on offense. He can’t dribble, finish or create. House too, to a lesser extent.
I said the same thing as MDA a couple times. It has to make the 3 point shots. 3 pointers, 3 pointers, 3, 3, 3, .... Make 5 of 50, be it.
Simple, If you can’t make 3, small ball don’t win championship. lets make 3. pushed by opponents to 30 feet?, make 3.
I'm just going to hope tonight was just the result of getting Worstbrook and it being a b2b...a b2b that they probably had really dead legs from trying to fight back against the Hornets last night. I really don't know what else to do.
