With Durant gone is it his time to shine? Or is he gonna b the same mental midget that couldn't handle the pressure
Shine. Simmons wont hide his light under a bush. Oh no! He's gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
They are going to be mediocre..... they have some real talent with Bridges, Finney-Smith, Cam Johnson, O'Neal, Claxton and Cam Thomas. None of them are amazing, but its enough to keep them around .480-.500% I'll say this - for good or bad, Cam Thomas is going to be in a PERFECT position to average over 25 points a game the next few years. The sad thing is the Nets could get some really nice players for some of there really good role players, but they won't deal them because they don't want to give the Rockets top picks or pick swaps. Over under on Cam Thomas taking 20+ shots a game? I take the over, he is going to be like Isiah Thomas on the Celtics.
They're going to need to unload a number of players. You forgot about Dinwiddie who will probably be in the starting lineup. Even if he isn't which would surprise me, he's still going to play a ton. They have too many players that need minutes. I can see them continuing to unload for assets. A lot of rotational players good teams could use
That is a VERY wise pick up. He is going to be surrounded by very good defenders and Simmons is a very good passer........ Thomas is not going to have to guard anyone, and he will have a complete green light to shoot over 20 times a game....... and I wouldn't be stunned if he is one of the 3-4 top scorers in the NBA going forward.
Brett Brown should get some credit for making Ben looked as good as he was. He's an assistant coach at San Antonio this year. Should get a look. Even if as an assistant for the new Rockets coaching regime.
When I first read that quote I thought he meant THEY were going to be scary. But now I think he meant that very literally. it was going to be scary for him. He was scared. He looks scared every time he has the ball in his hands.
