Nook, that sounds really bad. That cripple? That is pretty offensive to some, especially as someone who works with kids with disabilities.
Dang. What's worse, being blown out, or being 2 possessions away all game and losing. Good fight tho.
Even there he hardly ever wants to finish strong but looks to draw a foul instead which rarely gets called.
You make some good points in the team needing size. Boogie played well up until the last minutes with the foul and turnover. Hopefully he is good to go next game as he slid in a wall hit his head trying to retrieve the ball. The Boogie swipe and foul on DeRozan while going to the offensive board on a miss did not show any contact. The problem is in this game down the stretch the Spurs went inside more and played through their closer DeRozan who went inside and drew free throws. The Rockets needed to focus on getting some more closer to the rim shots not necessarily lay ups and get free throws. Down the stretch it was just a matter of the Spurs getting to the line. The Rockets scoring when getting the rim, missing with three after the Rockets took the lead. One could say the poor 3 pt shooting contributed to the poor offense all night allowing the Spurs bigs the luxury of not drifting too much out of the paint.
I felt way worse when OKC blew us out. That game was disgusting to watch. It really was. I can't even believe I sat there and watched the whole game.
Yep, that is why I say when we get that new PF it will help a lot. I mean we get absolutely nothing on offense from PJ. In close games when we struggle to consistently score it really shows up. I don’t think there is a rush to make the move, as we are not contenders right now, but I think it needs to happen at some point in the near future so we can continue with our rebuilding.
Could you imagine how many free throws Cousins, Wall, and Gordon would get if they got those "his finger touched me" calls Steph Curry gets all the time? So many times they take it in to the rim they would get those calls if they got the Curry treatment.
For FG tonight: Wall: 10/19 Olabricko: 4/14 Gordon: 8/13 Cousins: 5/11 House: 4/11 Calvin made a good point in the post-game show. He feels Gordon should get at least 20 attempts per game. I agree. Also, I feel Cousins should stick to getting his points within 3-5 feet from the basket.
I love PJ Tucker!! He's the brick, the heart and soul of our defense. He's so dang tough and durable. He gives it 100% on defense. But, like you said, the fact that he doesn't score much really does hurt us offensively. As much as I Iove that grit, his inability to consistently score more might not be our best option.
