    MVP?

    I remember Curry won one over Harden because of that lol. "Well his numbers are low because he's not playing 4th quarters."

    Wasn't it reported that MDA/Morey told WB that the team had allocated 4 or 5 mid ranges per game and WB said those were his? I thought Morey was pretty public about not wanting the team to take mid range shots. Most shots WB took in the playoffs hurt the Rockets (except those in game 7 vs OKC) because he was terrible/injured and terrible (did i mention terrible?).

    There's a lot of reasons the Rockets lost in the playoffs. Not taking mid-range shots probably isn't one of the major factors. Could it have help, perhaps or perhaps not. IMO it didn't make sense that players were catching the ball (open) near the paint and not looking to shoot. Whether that was because they've been trained not to or out of habit, I disagreed with the philosophy.

    Again, not saying the rockets should take significantly more, but I do think being open to taking it occasionally is better than actively discouraging it. Long 2's on the other hand...

    Man, Mason Jones was so pissed on that blocking on him. Hehe we were up by 30. Love this group of guys. Sharing and caring.

    He finally decided to go with what works defensively which is switching most of the time. At the beginning it was a lot of in between drop coverage and switching and the players looked confused and was always out of position. That’s why the defense was so bad.

    when was the last time 5 rockets scored 15 or more points in a game?

    loving the ball and shot sharing.

    7 players in double digit... that's usually the number of players in the rotation!

    Yeah I was very down on his coaching in the beginning because it was a mess. But great to see the adjustment. He recognized the personel that we have and made changes, signs of a great coach
