we played pretty bad for 2 quarters, maybe more, yet still won, those really are the ones against bad teams you need to.
At what cost? 33% overall shooting, horrible ball movement and decision making, poor defense, and 2 TO's to go with those 5 dimes. AB and Bud pissed away the lead until our starters got it back. I will take Lowry's 6:1 ratio in 30 minutes over 5:2 and ball stopping play any day. Did you watch the game at all or did you just take a glance at the box score and decided he did OK?
I want to see me some Terrance Williams action, but with Brooks back and Aaron and Kyle to be on the court at the same time, Courtney Lee needs minutes too. Coach has a tough job, being that Budinger gives us an offensive spark but on defense, he is a total liability. Free Williams. Give the guy a chance, although I am questioning if he has the ability to knock down the wide open three pointer?
Rockets could have drafted him, but they took Joey Dorsey instead. Deandre Jordan would be a great fit though
He's been shooting well for awhile now. My biggest problem with shane in the past was involvement. I've followed shane through college and in the pro's and I've seen what he is capable of every night. I watched him in memphis early on when he used to score mid range,post up,3pt shot,running the lane, and cutting to the basket. For some reason in houston he cahnged and decided to stop being a basketball player. This team needs shane to scorer 12-15 pts every night as well as the other thing he does. He won't take shots away from anyone because they will come in the flow of the offense. I don't like the fact that now if his 3 ball isn't working, he disappears which should never happen. They need shane to do his part offensively. Chenji, hate all you want, but brooks and company help nuild a lead in the 3rd. You can minimize 5 asst 2 to's and 7 pts in 16 minutes all you want. Of course he isn't fully back, but when the rockets hit that lull in the 4th, I guarantee if brooks was 100% he wouldve been in the game. Its really pointless to rain on his performance. He wasn't perfect, but how soon you forget how lowry looked when he was running of those catfish and waffles from the breakfast klub.
Call it what you want, but unlike AB when Lowry's shot isn't falling, he can still contribute to the team and help us win. Lowry's contributions in the 4th (FT miss aside) were huge. Unfortunately, you ride AB's jockstrap so hard that you will simply try to come up with some excuse for AB or deny that Lowry is far more important to us than Brooks.
We are 3pt set shooting team. We live by the 3, die by the 3. Ugly win. We need TW to play cause this soft ass team aint going to cut it. We need at least 1 guy to attack the basket. I really doubt Battier (Mr.Inconsistent)scores 10+ points next game. We need a third scorer, not Ab cause he takes his teammates out the game. And Bud, everyone scores on you like a cheap prostitute.
The starters clutch play saved this game. If Rick left AB in there, we would have lost for sure. 33% shooting and poor D will not bail any team out in crunch time.
Lol. The refs were pretty obvious in their bias for the Clips tonight. It was capped by their review as to who was supposed to shoot the free throws after Martin was fouled in the back court.
