    If nothing else looks like you can pencil in wood and KPJ on a potential future playoff squad as starters. Three more positions to go.

    Martin is fun to watch. However he needs to stay in the gym this summer and just shoot, shoot, shoot. Free throws and 3 pointers.

    I got high hopes for him as a rotation piece.

    Nah Harden is a way better pure shooter than Luka and Porter. Harden's 3 point percentage is driven down by him taking ridiculously diffcult 3's all the time.

    Unless Porter developes Luka's play making, which is never, he needs to be a reliable 3 point shooter. I also think he should stop shooting those step backs too much. He should focus on making his catch and shoot open 3's first

    this is why it's important to trade all the vets for whatever the rockets can get. and use picks and capspace to build around kpj and wood.

    Meh who cares, dude is old, washed & is a literal black hole on offense. The fact that he was still starting after scoring 0 points and like 15% shooting for the past month is a testament to the clownshow this season has been. Happy to the see young fellas out there getting mins & some much needed experience.

    Kevin Porter passed up alot of shots to get his teammates involved. That will work when he gets better players and mainly shot makers around him. In the meantime KPJ needs to be a little more greedy and look to drop 40 a night.

    If Rockets make shots Porter would of had 12+ assist .. Gobert erased 3-4 of those

    I don't expect him to become Lillard, Kyrie, Steph or Harden but like a McCollum level shooter would make the game much easier for him.

    Is Wall's contract tradeable though?

    That notion someone posted earlier about doing a trade that gives us back full lottery protection, or top ten protection on our first this year is intriguing. Would be nice if we could figure that out but probably hard if not impossible to do. Working our way through this season with a 50% chance of keeping our pick is unnerving.

    Okay, it’s time for me to announce tonight’s Turd of the Game award. Tonight’s biggest turd was none other than JaeSean Tate! His miserable performance included shooting around 20 percent from the field along with putting up a team worst -20 plus minus. Congrats, JaeSean! Well earned...

    McCollum is like one of the best shooters in the game though, make no mistake

    KJ Martin is a dog out there. 15pts and 10 boards. KJ(6"6) blocked Rudy G's(7"2) dunk shot.

    Is it a crime for you guys not to Slander Tucker or something?
