People can stop believing harden can be your pg and sg at the same time now. It's been said all season.
I disagree, Rockets/Grizzlies/Spurs/Clippers.....you can't say there's a clear and definitive leader in that pack. We barely made it past the Clips and no one here felt good about going against the Spurs. In addition, you better believe these teams will be maneuvering to improve. If you're not improving in this packed West, you're digressing....
This thread has me thinking, i dont follow the warriors much how in the world did they put THIS team together? How many seasons has it taken to get all these players there? Seriously you have Andre Igoudala as youre 7th man and Barbosa after him? Insane
I see what you're saying, but i dont think we need any major moves unless we can get LMA or a star PG. We just need above average players at PG and PF and knock down shooters.
We overachieved plain and simple, stop being a stuck up dumb ass ...everyone in the west except the warriors had injuries too ...too many posters get siddetracked just trying to pick on a certain poster instead of talking basketball , we did a great job this year, but we have 3 major flaws 1. Coaching Iam not saying fire mchale because i believe in stability and the players love him , but you need to get him two outstanding assistants, iiam not sure Jb is the right man although we did improve this year....we need and offensive guru, OKC didnt win the title because of the same problem 2.A real PG Jason terry played 35 min a night in the playoffs ppl...thats just insane to me We need someone who can run an offense because mchale cant, and a secondary playmker to take the load off harden 3. More Discipline on both ends Offensively when your in transition you cannot pull up for 3s..this is on coaching. Defensively we dont play together, everyone steps up on their man and hope dwight alters the shot and gets the rebound, i know they call him superman but give me a ****in break play TEAM defense.
nope, they still haven't recovered from losing James. They got substantially worse every year and are just now starting to get a few decent players
To say we simply overachieved is the dumbest and most discrediting thing you can say about this season. I agree we need some changes but dont let your emotions blind you about this season and what we did. Give your guys some F***ing credit.
Cannot agree more. The biggest problem is the lack of discipline, especially on the defense end. No one except Howard and Ariza plays honest defense. Others try to steal the ball often leading to easy basket of the opponent. On the offense end, don't try to be too creative! Explore the mismatch and play easy basketball! McHale has to take responsibility for this. I really like to see an experienced assistant head coach on the bench.
For a team that's offense is half 3-pointers, we could use some 3 point specialists in my opinion. Also wouldn't mind a play-maker that can shoot 3's at the point. Would love Dragic or Lowry (errr) or Ty Lawson. I could live with Rubio (think of all of his lobs to Dwight and finding Harden/Brewer/Ariza in transition) if he dedicated a lot of work on his shot. Go after Love/Aldridge, but I'd be fine with D-Mo/Jones. Bottom line is that we made the WCF and weren't even close to being at full potential. I think part of it is luck, as I don't really think we were a top 4 talent team in the NBA this season, but I think the future is bright. This Rocket's team best days are ahead of them IMO.
Im not sure if jones deserve another season, Dmo was really coming on before he got injured. Curious to see what Morey does after almost reaching the finals, i think this offseason will be very telling of him.
I second this... don't know bout jj....but been yelling my peps Martin for show n a maybe Danny green
My emotions dont blind me, its you whos all caught uup in twist...i give this team a ton of credit but saying they overachieved has nothing to do with discrediting anyone, youll know this if you knew the game of basketball like i do. Coaching plays a big part in this sport, and we are sorely lacking there, so without two of our starters and always being outcoached this team without a DOUBT overachieved..and to me thats giving them a ton of credit because they played their hearts out
1.Sign Aldridge 2. Trade Terrence Jones+18th pick for Ty Lawson 3.Resign smoove PG:Lawson SG:Harden SF:Ariza PF:Aldridge C:Howard Bench PG:Nick Johnson SG:Terry SF:KJ McDaniels PF:Montiunas/Smoove C:Capela Da Squad!
