1. Start Cousins and worry about minutes later. 2. Start Tate over Nwaba Keep it going The major issue is starting slow. Rocket River
Don't use the same strategy against the same team that kicked your ass the previous games. Learn to mix it up.
The biggest difference between Silas and D'Antoni is that Silas makes the players fit around his system, and D'Antoni builds his system to fit around the players.
3. Don't let EG drive to the basket 4. Get Wall to start looking for other people 5. Decrease PJ's minutes 6. GET THE TEAM TO BOX OUT! 7. Defense rotations need to be fixed, players need to stop ball watching 8. Players need to stop hesitating on 3s
This will never happen, but start Ben McLemore and Eric Gordon over Nwaba and John Wall. We need some shooting in our starting lineup. We have 3 suspect 3-point shooters, and 1 one dimensional shooter (Tucker), in the same lineup. Only ONE guy in our lineup I would consider a "good" or better outside shooter. That has to change. Gordon can defend PG's, McLemore can guard SG's, and Harden can defend SF. Wall off the bench for 30 MPG running the second unit, and sometimes playing with James and Boogie (good outside shooter).
No, MDA plays one way only. Remember his days with the Knicks and the Lakers? The Rockets simply built a roster that fits MDA’s style.
6 and 7 - means we remove about 14 points from the other team's scoring at the very least!!1 Rocket River
3. EG shooting 75% of 2-point shots, can't say I mind his drives tbh. 4. Wall has a bit of Westbrook in him, I agree. 5. Agree here, but with who? We have 0 front court depth 6. Tell me about it 7. Our defense blows, not sure why. Rotations are terrible agreed 8. I agree, except our shooting just sucks. I can see why guys who are 33% 3-PT shooters are hesitating...
I agree we should check out the big lineup. And either Tucker or Nwaba has to come out of the starting lineup. Is House back anytime soon? Sometimes he not much better either. Tucker has to do more than shoot corner 3s. Wall needs to bring it up and either attack or get James the ball within 10 seconds. Let James come off a little action to scramble the defense. If wall finds something on the initial attack great, if not, get it to james ON THE MOVE. we can’t all be standing still on the perimeter on EVERY set. The lakers just camped in the passing lanes. Wood has to be more physical down low. We got obliterated in the first quarter. Second quarter lost by two third by 3. The lakers were also on fire to start. Some bad defense but some greatttt shots. But a few plays that frustrated me most: 1.1 secs left Morris makes fadeaway baseline from a baseline inbounds pass; Harrell behind the back put back dunk between two rockets; and Tucker Carlson or whatever that guys name was dunk blowing past brown—And browns play in general since the preseason and first couple games.
Definitely needs to switch up the starting lineup. Two starters not scoring will not cut it against most teams. Nwaba should not be starting. The offense needs a lot of work also.
We need veteran scorers like Gerald Green back and additions like Dedmond. Our identity needs to get established by playing more in and out basketball in the half court. BOOGIE needs to start. Wood can start and PJ needs to go to the bench. If you want to put someone in the corner Ben Mac should have the job.
1. Tucker doing ANYTHING in the offense besides standing in the corner . .. makes me cringe. 2. The Lakers play a nebulous illegal defense IMO . . .but our offense does not expose it enough for the Refs to call it. Rocket River
P.J Tucker, Nwaba Need to be benched. Zero Points in 60 minutes played together. That is unacceptable. Demarcus Cousins and Jaesean Tate need to be starting. Substitute Gordon for Wall quickly off the bench. Ben McLemore not playing much says alot about the team offense. Defense over Offense doesn't work in the regular season. The Team needs wins and Offense. James needs complete control of the offense and real options on the floor.
I think if this keeps up. James Harden, P.J Tucker, Eric Gordon, Demarcus Cousins and their bad Karma need to be traded for Picks any Picks. Next Year hopefully trade John Wall. Christian Wood, JaeSean Tate, should be a Start of a Rebuild.
As long as LeBron James, Stephen Curry is in James Harden Timeline, The Rockets can't win a Championship. The Future looks really bad. With the a Real Lack of a Young All Star Guard. Luka Doncic is the Next NBA Championship Dynasty. Illuminati NBA Chooses Champions
