He's a vet min guy coming back from injuries, just tailor expectations. And aren't we tanking anyways? In which case having couple vets around Tucker/Boogie. Have the Vets teach good habits to the young guys you want to develop. Do that before the Vets are gone.
lol he’s better than bruno dude. But I do agree he has declined. He used to make that driving spin move layup with ease. Not sure why he can’t finish those these days. I’ve seen him explode on the baseline and maybe dribble drive top of key but just can’t finish for some reason. Not sure why. He still gets steals and rebounds occasional timely block so he’s more useful than bruno in that regard. They need a legitimate big man and there’s still a few out there. This small wood lineup isn’t working as teams are playing 2 bigs lineups.
he is just tired I expect players like boogie, wall eg, pj to shape up come money time in the season. they don't have stamina for 82 games nobody does, they have to pick and choose when they want their top form. its planned on the teams level whether to peak early/mid/late in the season I suspect Boogie was all good in the preseason, played and trained a lot first time since 2 years and now he is just tired. once he gets his legs back he will be better
he looked springy to me in the preseason. he lacks endurance and its normal after that much time off. his nervous system has to adapt to.. EG looks done every year and then is our second best player in the playoffs I think it's the same case
OP @DaDakota is similar Patrick F. If he had it his way, he would signed James Harden to the max 55M+ a year contract in 2023 after winning two titles. #Greatness
Saw the thread title, assumed this was from 2 years ago. We've all known that he is done for several seasons now. It's why nobody pays him or plays him. He's only here to trick casual fans into thinking the Rockets were actually trying. Management is fooling you. Like they did when they dumped everyone, signed Melo, and put him on the front of the Media Guide. Tilman thinks yall are stupid.
i'm willing to give Boogie some more time because it looks like he can still get his shot off.. making them is a whole different story.
To me, re-flipping Allen was a sign that they don't want to add tertiary pieces to win now, they're going all in on expirings and draft picks. It's a small but sure sign that we are committing to a rebuild.
