Everyone gets a couple nights of good sleep, cool off, and gets back to it. Our rotations haven't been the greatest, we're getting killed on the glass and our defense has sucked. We were much better on D last year, and Westbrook certainly wasn't the main reason. House will be back soon which helps. He's our only legit SF and backup PF on the entire roster. PG - Wall (32) Gordon (16) SG - Harden (36) McLemore (12) SF - House (12) Gordon (12) Nwaba (14) McLemore (10) PF - Tucker (32) House (12) Wood (4) C - Wood (28) Cousins (20) In: House, and more of BMac and DCousins Out: Tate, Brown Our main issue has been defensive rotations, and lack of shooting. Playing McLemore almost half the game will help out immensely with our shooting woes. Tate is a nice prospect, but he hasn't proven he can shoot and still has a lot of work to do. Would love to see him come in for spot minutes as depth is guys are missing, but I feel like he's not quite there yet to be a part of our rotation at full strength. Sterling Brown's shot has been dropping, but he's very one dimensional and doesn't add much besides OK defense and a slow release 3-point shot. I like Nwaba's man to man defense, athleticism, and shot blocking ability. Can attack closeouts well. If he can hit an open corner 3, he is a solid player in the rotation. TBD Cousins can shoot. Definitely lost a couple steps, but still very skilled and can shoot the ball well for a big man. Something we need as Christian hasn't proven he can actually hit the 3-PT shot yet. Overall by cutting out a non shooter (Tate) and a one dimensional shooter (Brown), replacing him with House and BMac's minutes our 3-point shooting improves significantly. Of course, this is all under the assumption Harden hasn't actually left our team at this point lol
I doubt Harden will show up to future games. He's gonna pull a Kyrie until the team trades him. It's clear he gave an ultimatum to Tilman/Stone last night. Harden already declined 100 mil extension, I think he can give up a couple games of salary to stir up more media attention.
You are suggesting the team to play Tate less? I think you just earned you position of VP of operation in the Texan organization. Gratz.
Wall(33) / Oladipo(15) Oladipo(18) / Gordon (30) House(26) / Brown(16) Tate(26) / Wood(8) / Nwaba(16) Wood(24) / Cousins(24) Something like that. I don't expect us to keep Tucker, but if we do Brown or Nwaba get cut out of the rotation and House/Tate get minute reductions.
Yea but.....they should let Gordon do it LOL. Commit to the tank. Its better for us. We have to trade Oladipo as soon as possible.
I'm not sure that's our plan, we could have flipped him today for expiring's and 2ds to a team that wanted him (Heat/Mavs/?) I'm afraid Tilman might want to avoid tanking.
You best believe people will be in high spirits against the spurs tomorrow. Might actually play great. Oldiapo was beggin to get out of Pacers. He might show the league he back. and could be a new west allstar? Never know.
It's just pure idiocy, especially with the new rules. Even with the worlds worst record odds are you won't land the #1 pick. So you suck before, during and after the strategy for YEARS even if you get what you want.
