Imagine telling one of the greatest scorers ever to take less shots and hold the ball less so that John Wall can run the offense. LMAOO.
He's officially a role player now. The funny thing is.... he's having the ball way less than Wall but is somehow doing more on the offense.
It sounds great but Remember people wanted SHAQ to shoot in the midrange, have turnaround jumpers and a more "skilled and finesse" game? It might have been visually more appealing but SHAQ probably is alot WORSE if he tried to do all that .. . like. . NOT HAVE 4 RINGS WORSE Sometimes . .. if you a one trick pony. . . AND IT IS A D*MN GOOD TRICK You stick with it Rocket River
Can't make this **** up. Harden is low-key laughing inside. Either Silas pivots on Harden or we miss the playoffs. Stay tuned
The thing is, if Harden’s production dropping is a result of our system (which is based off ball movement and cutting), he’s gonna have the same issues when he gets traded to another team. Miami, Boston, Philly, etc. all have similar systems.
Guess what all those teams have? Shooters. Harden would be playing in backcourts of Dragic, Smart, and Curry. All great fits for him. While Wall is probably the worst fit there is.
Also, if he went to the 76ers, he'd have one of the best big men in the league to play the pick and roll with.
That "one trick" works in the playoffs when you have an elite defense backing up that pony. I'm not sure if Harden really wants that type of physical burden year after year in the regular season.
If he made harden a decoy in any other team he would be sacked on the spot but because harden has one foot out of the door and he has a rookie GM he is allowed to get away with it
i really like it. i don't watch the rockets for wins and points, just based on what the offensive plan is.
It's early and they're learning the system. I don't really expect them to do much this year in any case.
