Team ball - FTW

We may already have a closer we just need to wait for them to grow up. No group led by a bunch of 22 yr old has won a ring in the new NBA era, even the OKC KD team with 3 future mvp.

 

Not to be a stickler, but this year is the 5th year on course to re-appear in the playoffs.

2019-20 - Last appearance, also last year with D'antoni and Morey

2020-21 - Silas and Stone (missed year 1)
2021-22 - Silas and Stone (missed year 2)
2022-23 - Silas and Stone (missed year 3)
2023-24 - Udoka and Stone (missed year 4)
2024-25 - Udoka and Stone ( on track year 5)

Agree with sentiment that we're finally here, but Rocket fans have paid the wait time. (almost half a decade)

 

Oh I agree…but that won’t stop countless posts about the offense and getting a guy

 

Its not a long wait though if you look at similar teams that rebuilt from ground up 4 yrs is actually a short time.

 

"That Guy" has to be Green, right?

 

Udoka is far from being a 22 year old, he may be that in his mind in Boston.

 

I think of it as
Tanking and aquiring and developing young talent for 3 years
And developing young talent for a year
Then 2nd seed 5th year

 

Yeah rockets waited years
Other teams wait decades

 

We may not have "that guy"we might just have a big 3. Unless someone is at Jokic level I dont think one guy is good enough anymore.

 

Thats the beauty of it. Now imagine if we had Durant.
