I know this sounds crazy but maybe it’s JJ and Ryno time?

    Guys like Tuck, Ariza, and Luc are amazing defensively and have certainly demonstrated their value all season but they just have not been shooting the ball consistently throughout the postseason. It’s time to try some of the guys on the bench that can create matchup problems. For all of their issues defensively, Joe and Ryno have proven throughout their careers that they can be reliably offensively. JJ’s shot creation and shooting can be useful against the Warriors’ second units and Ryan’s ability to space the floor would make things easier on Harden/CP3/Capela.

    They will get ISO defensively on KD or Curry in which they can’t keep up.

    As long as Anderson is afraid to shoot... he is not playable. He has to go into the game ready to fire away as soon as he hits the floor, and D'Antoni and Harden/Paul should immediately force the ball to him as soon as he enters the game (and keep forcing the ball to him... don't let him get away with passing right back). He should be our best 3pt shooter... he really offers no other value.

    They both suck

    Bring back Bobby Brown

    Much better cheer leader than JJ and Rhyno combined

    Lol are you serious Ryno is trash but getting paid handsomely. I'd give JJ a shot if things get worse in game 2

    didn’t even read OP’s post, the thread title was enough for me

    It’s time for the corpse formally known as Joe Johnson and useless Ryno? C’mon man, get real...

    the rockets in trouble if they're betting on mental midget ryno and a 63 year old joe johnson to win a series.

    I like how Anderson passes it immediately once he gets the ball

    Honestly . . . . I don't think I need him to. . . . I think i need him on Green.
    I want him to use his midrange game

    He needs to give Green something to do on defense besides roam

    Ryno was a huge part of our offense last season and even early this season, I say try giving all of Luc’s minutes to him. I just read an article where Luc pretty much admits he’s scared of attacking the rim because of his shoulder and that is one of his strengths in offense because he hasn’t even been hitting the 3 lately.

    Luc is obviously scared to finish at the rim. But Ryno is obviously scared to shoot open 3's. At least Luc can play defense. It's like Nene supposedly said, Ryno is defeated.

    Luc just publicly admitted he isn't really playable against the Warriors. Dumb thing to say. Now the Warriors know they don't have to guard him.

    Yeah this was the main reason why the Rockets signed him I thought. To use that midrange and post up game in the playoffs.

    Let's just Iso Ryno, he was a certified unapologetic chucker in New Orleans. We somehow neutered him to this thing that doesn't do anything

    Anderson won the lottery. Luckiest guy in the world. All he has to do is show up for practice/games and travel with the team. There are no expectations.

    Wow...what a life.

    Ryno shoulda be on a short leash.
    Catch ball - shoot
    If he passes an open shot get him off the floor.

    It seriously took me a minute to figure out who JJ was. If JJ was hitting 3s, I'd give him a chance. Maybe he could body up KD for a few plays.
