Hard to believe that 1 year later (since the lockdown of COVID) that this would be the team the Rockets would have on the court... and they're not scabs from a strike year.

Loving it. I really wish we would bench Wall and go: Wood/Patton Lamb/Wood/KJMJ Tate/Brown Gordon/Jones/Nwaba KPJ/Wall/Brooks Hopefully we can get a decent young player from trading Tucker This young team losing most games the rest of the way is way better development than playing the vets for "culture". KPJ needs to learn how to not settle in the mid range, Tate needs to shoot and handle the ball with lots of room for mistakes, the rest of the guys can earn NBA contracts and become good building blocks or assets. Someone always ends up surprising us. Wood and KPJ need to run PnR a lot to develop chemistry. Silas needs to learn some plays for key moments and we need to find out if he can coach without a generational talent (Harden or Doncic) making most decisions for him. A generational talent is not a given, we need someone who can do both in order to win a title. So far the instability has been the excuse, but we shouldn't go past this season without ensuring he can do this as a HC full time. I was very confident in him to start the season, but in some ways I feel he has not proven anything here yet. Any coach could be running this offense and defense, and he hasn't been a voice in the locker room that motivates ego-filled vets.
i honestly probably only know mclemore... the rest, i dunno what they look like. i sorta know what jason tate looks like, but may have confused him with wnba.
