If we have EGO tonite. . .we win. House is just mediocre AT BEST. It is ssoooo maddening watching him miss open threes Not getting any rebounds The quietest dude on the court PJ . . . love PJ . . . but dammit he needs to come off the bench His minutes should not top 25 I know we short handed and did what we could but PJ on the court the offense is ALWAYS 4.3 on 5 I was INFURIATED when he got a rebound and lost it in the same play during crunch time. Just grab and cover man!!! What the hell is he doing in the high post? beyond the arc but not the corner? in the Dunker spot? Roaming the MIDRANGE??? HE IS 100% USELESS IN *ANY* OF THOSE SPOTS He is not even 50% on put backs!!!!! Trading House and Tucker for any RAndo player over 6'8 would be a win. I think I would trade them and 1st for Julius Randle (if harden stays) Rocket River
Wall / Brown Harden / Nwaba Gordon / McLemore Tate / Tucker Wood / Cousins I'm down to trade Tucker if he can get us a back-up 4 or a starting caliber 4. I wish we had Jeff Green still. Uncle Jeff as either a starter or a backup to Tate would be great.
I was wanting to see more from him and with only 9 players suited he could only get 4 minutes? Disappointed after a solid couple games in preseason
it's lucky we got so many young bloods, nwaba, tate, wood, it's time to move on, pj n house come off the bench gonna be cool
Tucker is still a starter, he had the most rebounds and still is the best defender on our team. Full stop...yall dont know what you are talking about.
I have more faith in Tucker than House, but both players are too inconsistent offensively to start together. It’s one thing if one of them was consistent on that side of the ball, but that’s not the case. House was barely a double digit scorer last year, and Tucker is a single digit scorer. So both guys playing big minutes and scoring under 20 combined happens more often than not. Starting Eric Gordon at the 3 is not the answer either. It’s just going to be a weakness for the Rockets this season.
Relax. Tucker and House are primarily used as spot up shooters on offense. With a TS% of 56 and 57%, Their shooting are solid enough to space the floor for Harden. Stop being a chicken little due to a one game sample size of going 1-4 from 3.
Gordon and Silas already said Gordon will be coming off the bench. Which is good he will have more touches, he has look good in that role. Him and Wood got some nice chemistry too. Wall / Brown Harden / Nwaba House / Gordon Tate / Tucker Wood / Cousins that should be our line up for now. However the ones finishing should be Wall Harden Eric Tate Wood We should trade Clemons and bring someone like Rose. He seems to be close to cWood too. I would like Gerald Green back but idk if we can, Thomas still looks too raw. And we gave him the two way contract. Idk if we can have both Green & Rose unless we trade Thomas & moved Mason out of the line up. Idk guess I’ll just would take Green.
I'd be very happy to lose Tucker and House, eventually. I'm ok with playing Tucker, but don't give the guy an extension, unless it is for the vet minimum. Overpaying old guys at the end of their career is a classic mistake.
I’ve seen enough of House to the point where I’m ready to move on from him being a starter. Definitely time to start considering House coming off the bench. As far as PJ goes I think he’s fine, I think he’s just a bit rusty and was definitely worn out. Can’t evaluate this team until the roster is fully intact. Tate hasn’t really shown the ability to shoot but if he gains more confidence in legit starting him. Dude hustles, makes the right plays, and rebounds!
