    I was realizing how aligned the needs of several of our key players are.

    Amen? - 3pt shot
    Jalen? - 3pt shot
    Sengun? - 3pt shot

    Not saying these guys don't have other needs as well, but just imagine if those 3 guys were to solve those needs this coming season? Wouldn't it be glorious?

    In addition, a better 3pt shot would benefit Cam, Tari and Brooks as well. FVV and Reed maybe the only guys that don't need improvement in this area. Maybe its time for a 3pt specialist coach?

    didn't we have Sullivan on the coaching staff? I thought he was supposed to be one of the best.

    I seem to remember that Sullivan is Ime's offensive guy, but know little about him beyond that. But given the Rockets were a bottom 8 team in 3pt% last year, I would guess Sullivan isnt the answer for this particular question.

    This already seems like the longest off-season ever and there is 2.5 months still to go. :(

    Lol that lob throw to Jalen was pretty bad from Cam. Cam is a great recipient of lob passes but not great at throwing them :D

    I'm assuming that's the adjusted average age for minutes played? Because I doubt the average age of the team is 22 when you have Boban, uncle Jeff, Dillon, FVV, Holiday etc.

    It's crazy this team is this young and won 41 games.

    I'd have to assume so - my son sent it to me. (My son is an OKC fan -- I know I know I have failed :D)

    Ya. I'm just so happy about the current team situation. To imagine we would be in this spot the day after Harden left... Like that was a low point as a Rocket fan. No hope. No promising young guys to build around even if we sucked. It was a worse position to be in than what the Pistons are currently in. What a depressing time and now today almost every neutral NBA analyst has the Rockets somewhere in the top 5 of most promising futures in the NBA.

    Wait... you want Cam to PASS the ball??

    I am shocked.... SHOCKED I SAY!


    LOL... seriously would be great if Cam was better at getting the ball to his teammates cause he is ordinarily a black hole (ball goes in & doesn't come back out). That being said, Cam was a pretty darn good finisher on the break...

    Oh ya dude is definitely a one man fast break. It's really awesome that we have three guys who are one man fast break armies in Amen, Cam and Jalen.

    That would be cool if he changed his number to 33. How fitting.

    There's probably going to be a lineup featuring:

    Adams, Tari, Amen > that lineup is going to choke people out defensively. I feel sorry for the bench units they're going to go against.

    I really sense we will have a top 5 defense next season. I really feel like this coaching staff can use an offensive genius as a lead assistant, someone who can help them build a modern, efficient offense. I think that could probably get us messing with 50 wins.

    How did you survive the offseasons under Stephen Silas.

    This one had a Euro Soccer tourney and one Olympics.
