I'm beginning to think the reason T-Will's growth has been stunted is because the fans are too involved. It's still on him but those T-Will groupies aren't making it easy.
Very nice, missed the game to watch MIN vs NJN in person. Ricky Rubio was amazing. The Rockets should try to play good defense on him tomorrow.
We already played 10 guys tonight. McHale's talked about this before; he believes it's better to give one guy 20 minutes than 2 guys 10 mins. Lee, Bud, and Goran are higher priority.
Because you want the regular bench players to develop some chemistry with each other? You know, player DEVELOPMENT? Why are you against PLAYER DEVELOPMENT?
Good reasons have already been given for Williams not being in tonight's game. Another good reason, at least it's my speculation, is that Williams isn't doing what he needs to be doing in practice. Consistently good play in practice will eventually pay off in minutes on the court during games, and that ain't Rockets science.
T-Will won't play the wing. He's enamored with being a 6-6 point guard. The problem with that is, that he turns the ball over when he's trusted with it for long periods of time. ALOT. He throws off the offensive flow of every one else on the court. When he is on the wing, if he's not shooting he loses interest defensively which compounds things. In an up and down game, he looks good because he's a freak athletically, but he often settles for jump shots when in the half-court. These are reasons why 2 NBA teams have lost interest in seeing him on the floor. IMHO.
Or drop him with an elbow to the face, ala Dikembe. I'm from the 80's, Moses Malone wouldn't let that runt drive without letting him know about it....heck, either would Otis 'Bonecrusher' Thorpe
that's why Lee is better and ahead of him in the rotation. in the last 5 games, Lee was running through screen and knocking down jumpers like kevin martin
Someone may have already posted this, but if not, every single rocket that touched the floor last night ended the game with a positive +/- Parsons having the least with +4
