Please don't hit me with the "no you are" grade school comeback. LMAO... You are funny as hell D-rock. You just got a problem with anyone that doesn't kiss Harden's ass like you do. But I guess former coach and hall of famer Murphy, Bill who's been around the game for almost 80 years, my 4 decades of basketball experience (playing and coaching), and almost every other basketball analyst is wrong and you are right when it comes to James huh? I guess you pegged me right by calling me a Murphy dick rider lol.
So was he terrible against the Blazers ? I’ll wait.... You keep blaming 1 man when it’s a team sport.... Start looking at the coaching staff and. Some of these other players..
He doesn't defer to Harden enough. Someone else said the same, and I wish I could recall who it was. I made that comment when he could have passed to James on the perimeter, the logical move, and instead drove to the basket and promptly lost the ball. I was not happy! Found him! It was @HardenVolumeOne, @Rocket River.
We were actually fine defensively too, it's the rebounding sucked. But going small without 3's just makes very little sense. The whole point is to space the floor. Instead we have Nwada acting like Capela in crunch time
exactly......apparently he quit so much that he put the rockets in front with 2:37 left in the fourth. The next play showed how much luck was on the Pacers side when Brogdon got that lucky bounce in for three
I expected Silas to stress MORE 3's considering his Mavs team was so efficient from there. And analytics support this strategy. Are Rockets going away from analytics completely now? Losing FT, TO and 3P% game in and game out seems to have Rockets pointed in that direction. Scary if true.
This right here is the real problem. We defend better when we go small and switch everything. So basically we traded Covington for Nwaba when we go small. Effectively we are playing last year's version of small ball minus Covington's elite rim protection and help defense plus way worse 3point shooting. Thats not gonna work.
We dont have the personnel to put up high volume 3 point shots. Nwaba and Tates play big minutes for us and they aren't reliable shooters. They're doing their best but Silas is just playing with the cards he's dealt.
Rockets are putrid on defense, specifically DROP COVERAGE. Silas has to commit to switch everything or get better help defenders around Wood when Rockets go to drop coverage. Been saying this since game 1.
Well we are currently 12th in the NBA in offense. You use volume to drown out the mediocre percentages your players have. We are still shooting basically the same percentage with lower volume.
Rockets have better shooters on the team, Silas just needs to find the right combinations so defense is not garbage. Cannot play 3 non shooters together as much as Silas has.
It's hard to land a star at this time of a season, unless yo give up something valuable… I wanna let EGo back to where he from along w/ PJ who is a square peg in a round hole now. (Based on thiic's performance in past few games…no deal for sure, tho i luv him n deem as a corner Stone of this team in previous glorious seasons, he gotta go)
