2017 Rockets Training Camp Megathread

and so it begins. sucks for the kid

 

Ur too focused on starpower. We have no chance at beating ANY of the top tier teams if Harden's going to dribble 5-7 seconds each possession.

 

1 clip of Harden dancing on Zhou has gone to Harden dribbling for 5-7 seconds each possession...

 

guys don't let the ball get too sticky, make it pop! clap-clap

 

Everyone is delusional after a long emotional summer. Just give a few weeks and everyone will be back in good mood when Rockets are killing teams.

 

Oh...he meant actually having one of them defeat Warriors.
Reminds me of the year Clippers and Spurs meeting in first round, then we faced an exhausted Clipper to reach the wcf.

 

He needed a strong showing to catch on with the big roster. A broken hand is always bad but the timing makes it worse.

 

I don't like that name. Don't jinx him. But he might be building a brick wall on purpose

 

I don’t like it either. But until he get more consistent in key games ( and at home) then it sticks.

 

Lol what seed were we again last year? Ahead of multi star studded teams cavs celts clips

Harden has possession of the ball alot of time because thats what works and effective

That the farthest 1 single star could have carried the rockets last year stop blaming on harden blame the rockets roster they didnt have at least another playmaker and coach whos not at kerrs or pops level if you want

 

Nobody is blaming anybody. If we're going to be a top tier team we have to move the ball even better this year. The Rockets offense needs to be free flowing, if you get a open shot TAKE IT. Playing with the ball disrupts the whole offense. It's like you guys haven't ever watched a NBA basketball game before

 

LOL are you saying if we replaced ball hog harden with someone else last year the rockets would have been 1st in offense instead of second?

its not the simple

so you think Kerr, Pops, and MDA philosphy revolves around "if you get a open shot TAKE IT"

you are a f*in joke!

 

He has more accuracy than most of the Rocket squad. Sign him to max.

 

That sucks. I didn't think he would make the team but he seemed like a good fit as a range shooting PF with some athleticism. Maybe he will catch on with the Vipers or maybe secure that "2nd" 2-Way contract available from the Rockets.

 

I wanna say he's not eligible for a 2 way contract but I could be wrong

 

If you were making these training camp cuts with nothing but cost control in mind, you would make these exact same cuts. Just saying.

 

This extra roster spot has me very interested. Bobby Brown's contract is non-guaranteed from what I gather so there might be two spots open. Monta Ellis, Anthony Morrow, Barbosa... they'd all have my interest if I'm the Rockets. Of course, lots of us still like Josh Smith.
