Their players have size and are pretty much in their primes. Our team is skinny and needs to develop. I don't like losing to the Jazz, but they are a much more advanced team. Didn't they have one of the best records in the NBA last year?
Both things are true. Wood has to find a way to play better so he becomes more desirable to contending teams, but at the same time, it is perfectly understandable of him to show frustration at the Rockets current level of performance considering the situation was entirely different before last season when he chose to come here as a free agent via sign and trade. Anyone would be frustrated. Imagine you get hired on at what you deem to be a better company, and within a month, said company lets your boss go along with other people on your team. You would be upset because this isn’t what you signed up for, and you now wish you could go back on the job market again, but other companies will view you as a job hopper and make it harder for you to find a different job fitting your skills and experience. Wood can’t go back on the market because he has a guaranteed contract with the Rockets, so he’s stuck trying to make the best out of this situation for now. Nobody likes getting blown out consistently and feeling like you are on the JV squad playing a good varsity team every night.
Injured ... twisted ankle early, came back to play, and Green stepped on it again. So he just sat rest of game.
Once again not being able to keep dribble drive out the paint and their bigs from rebounds. The absence of Capela still felt after 2 years. He was part of the reason guards didn’t want to drive in the paint. Sengun and theis both smaller players just aren’t going to cut it. Not sure why rockets are adamant about a smaller stretch 5 philosophy. It hasn’t worked isn’t working and wouldn’t work in todays league.
What? You think in the real world that managers and employees don't leave jobs? Are you actually serious because literally everything you just said about the working world is ridiculous. I've been in management for 20+ years and I've never once heard people talk about "job hopping" as a concern, or anybody wanting to leave simply because their manager or team colleagues changed... If that's what the world is like where you are then I'm really sorry, that sounds horrendous.
Not sure, but I know if I really liked a boss and a **** one came in... I'd want to leave. Colleagues are a little different, but if a ton of them left as well I'd wonder whats up and start looking.
Of course, people leave jobs. They either move on on their own accord, or companies lay them off or fire them. However, nothing I said about the working world is ridiculous. If I interviewed with a certain hiring manager and they hire me, but they get fired or let go within a month or two on the job, you best believe I will wonder what the hell is going on, and I’ll be pissed that I chose to work there. The person who was my biggest advocate in the organization is now gone as I’m still getting up to speed. Second, if a person takes a new job and leaves in a few months, any HR representative that screens him or her will ask why did he or she bail so quickly. Sometimes, they are understanding, and other times, they aren’t. If that person makes a pattern of that during their career, it’s a big red flag to many employers. I’m not envisioning anything. In the last month, I interviewed for a job with a hiring manager who told me they were still interviewing candidates and I’d hear something the following week (this email exchange took place on a Thursday afternoon in early October). That evening, the company’s careers system sent me an email about new job openings. The opening listed was the hiring manager’s position, and the following Monday, the position I interviewed for was re-posted. Despite trying one more time to contact the hiring manager via email a week after this happened, I have yet to hear back, and I’m not surprised.
Not to derail thread... from an employer pov, for high end jobs where's large ramp up and longer investment. Spend time on the job training a person, pay for training soft/hard skills, they learn your trade advantage, then bounce after a year; that is a concern. Back to bball, the Woods situation extends to the currently CF unpopular Silas also. He thought he came to a Harden playoff team. It is what it is. Look forward, make the best with who you have.
yes, there are differences, but there are huge advantages to continuity and playing with same guys over and over and over...
Yep, that's my main question right now with Alpe, can he get better at finishing strong, he leaves points on the floor with his missed layups... Not a natural dunker (yet?)
well now we know why theres no good 3pt shooters on the rockets...and its been for a decade like that...Dr Lucas is no good
