When Silas first replaced Theis for House he literally said he was doing it to create space. Like that literally came out of his mouth. You're saying "They stand outside of the three point line." Cool. But the question is...is the defense guarding them? You can have Westbrook and Rondo as your two guards and still have no space because the defense won't care to guard them. Same thing was happening, thus, no space.
I think we should target Rubio in FA this offseason. He’s not a knockdown shooter but serviceable at 36%. Move KP to SF during his contract season next year and see how he does.
When KPJ was out, the Rockets failed to reach 100 points and had some of their worst games all season, I wonder what the consequences of having Green out will be?
Who cares where they're standing if their defenders don't respect the 3 point shot? They sag off Tate, Theis, and even Wood, and pack the paint any time someone drives. You can just watch the games, or look at the numerous screenshots that have been posted on here where Jalen/KPJ drive into the paint and they have 3 or 4 defenders within 5 feet. I don't know how you can dispute that teams are packing the paint against our drives unless you just don't watch.
It's projection on their part, they are player only fans, so they assume others are as well. It's always been Green fanbois vs Rockets fans.
I’m not sure but one things for certain, biased fans like you will surely ignore other changes that have been made to the rotations in order to push the narrative that you want.
Au contraire mon frere ..... I'm still rooting for Green to succeed .... but that doesn't make him above criticism and his shooting & defense have both been beyond terrible. No one has made the strawman argument that you mention .... except you. Of course we expect him to improve between 19-25 .... but right now , today - He's not a very good shooter and the metrics bear that out. 42.1% of his shots are either open or wide open & how many of those he's missing .... all while people complain about Silas offense being the problem. https://www.nba.com/stats/players/shots-closest-defender Open 3's - 23.7% of his shot total and is shooting 22.2% Wide Open 3's - 18.4% of his shot total and is shooting 31.0%
I dont see alot of the immediate pre and post draft Green only fans. Most of the few there were filtered out yet they keep citing these people like they're still around and posting. All I see is them in every thread absolutely bashing Green at every turn. Uts major projecting on their part. They seek out every thread and vomit anti Green ****. Criticism is fine and warranted but they are clearly going past that and pushing a narrative. It's pretty gross imo
Right I'm a player only fan. That's why I joined in 04 and have regularly posted in all the Houston forums. You're just a miserable, pompous no life loser. That's the consensus from everyone too as you well know.
Green has been bad but you don't see me hoping he doesn't get better. I'm sure he will. Barnes is the best player so far easily and you don't see anyone pining for him like the Mobley bunch
That is a weird love for a big that looked like Chris Bosh (Morey's old flame). Even our admin fell for him. Barnes never got much hype before the draft. Overlooked af.
