[Nick Wright] Rockets def Thunder- Are the Rockets built for an NBA title run?

I love how Nick Wright talks about my team. Gets me so close everytime..

 

Are you talking about the anthony davis segment?

 

Chris "15-1 CHOKE" Carter knows about lack of Post Season Success

Rocket River

 

Why haven't we been posting way more Nick Wright videos and way less Max Kellerman videos

 

Overall good stuff. I like that there is substance and analysis to their takes other than "CP3 AND HARDEN HAVE NEVER PROVEN ANYTHING IN THE PLAYOFFS.LKJDFJADLFH." + 5 mins of other nonsensical yelling about game 6.

I might have misheard but did Nick say Rockets were underrated in health? Or did he mean people haven't acknowledged that they've been successful despite health issues?

 

More of Wright talking about the Rockets.

 

Are the Rockets built for an NBA title run?

What have we been discussing since June 28th, 2017? WE BUILT TO WIN THE ****ING SHIP!
**** THE MVP
**** THE #1 SEED
WE WANT THE ****ING SHIP!!!!!

 

I think he means they are underrated in the fact people been missing and still have had success. Was poorly worded though.

Also I am tired of ever for any reason hearing Steph's name in Harden's league. They are not even same caliber.

Harden -
* Vastly more durable
* Can take contact being 10x more physical
* Actually has NBA moves (step back, euro step, ect). His bag as he likes to call it.
* Much better driver
* Much better passer and runs offense through him as opposed to being another part of the offensive the way Steph is.
* Better defender and better low post defender ( can guard more positions)

Steph -
* Better pure shooter
* Does crazy chicken with head cut off pathing when off the ball

You put Steph in place of Harden the past 2 years and do we make the playoffs? We could now that CP3 is here and would be running the offense.

 

i dont really see why. steph is one of the top players in the league and obviously so is harden so it would make sense when you're having a discussion about the best players in the league.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

Nick has been with us for a while.

 

he may be focusing on having most of the team together as of late

 

Do you compare Dreymond Green and LeBron James? What you is a very similar scenario.

 

i didnt know draymond green was an mvp or an mvp candidate. i dont see any similarities in that example

 

I think what Wright is missing is the KD factor. Ariza is a good wing defender but KD will be a problem. We need an elite forward to counter him.

 

Because #triggered

 

Yes and my point was that Curry shouldn't have been. My point was that Curry is overrated in that regard. There are many people I would rather put on my team than Curry.

Gianis, AD, LeBron, Harden, CP3, (pre this year Kawhi), KD, and the list goes on.

 

2 time mvp, 2 time champ. not sure where the overrated part comes into play.i mean if you're just hating on him just bc he plays for GS, thats not really valid. personal agendas are your own problem

if you're talking about overrated you have guys like giannis and AD who have done very little as far as accomplishments in their career

 

Regarding having PJ in the pick-n-roll, I disagree with them... PJ is not confident with the ball off the dribble, and is likely to turn the ball over, get blocked at the rim or miss a mid-range jumper.

I was pleasantly surprised with him last night though, if I recall correctly he made a good kick out pass for a 3, got a layup, missed a floater in the lane and turned it over one time. That's better than I would have expected.

I just don't think that being in the pick-n-roll plays to PJ's strengths. He really needs to be relegated to a spot up shooter or a pump fake, one-dribble passer.

AND HE ALSO NEEDS TO QUIT STEPPING BACKWARDS OUT OF BOUNDS WHEN IN THE CORNER!
