CP3 Update: May not return Friday, may target Sunday instead

Did you watch last game? Ennis played fantastic. He also a solid game a few more nights ago

 

to me this is really a bunch of bullshit. holding him out when he's probably been ready for the past couple weeks already and we've been losing every other game. i'm of the mindset that he's gonna get hurt again anyways so might as well play him when he's good to go. we sat him a third of last season too and didn't make any difference. which season in recent memory has he not been out injured?

 

Harden needs the rest more than CP does right now but ok. 2 more days isn’t doing anything.

 

With capela out we need more bodies. I am all for keeping him fresh for the playoffs but if harden has to score 61 to beat the knicks, we will have trouble with even mediocre teams

 

I remember yelling at the tv repeatedly when he was in.... worst 118 minutes of my life.

 

I’d prefer he wait until after the ASB

 

Just wait till after the break. It is going to close games that are 50/50 until Clint gets back or Morey gets a C

 

What are the all time Rockets body parts hall of shame?

Yaos Feet
Luc Shoulder
Paul Hamstring
McGrady Back and Concession Stand Abilities
Beverly Knees
Dwight’s Brain

 

Are we watching the same games? Ennis fumbles the ball, trips over his own feet, bricks/airballs open shots, sucks from the free throw line, can't finish at the rim and gambles/gets beat on defense way too much. His only positive is that he gives good effort/hustle. In my book he's a notch above Corey Brewer. He played well in pre-season and very early on, but has sucked ever since.

I was over the moon when we got him at the beginning of the year. In my limited experience of watching him play with Memphis, he seemed like a great corner 3 guy/good defender. I had hopes that he would at least equal Ariza's production... Boy was I wrong.

 

Lets hope that the whole Rockets team is done with injuries this season. We had more than enough players hurt so far and May the Basketball Gods will be kind enough to spare us from anymore injuries this season.

 

TLDR version: It's day to day.

 

Please think what you're saying for a second. Harden is NOT playing 40 mpg for another 3 weeks...

 

Give him 8 minutes per game.

 

Not if Kawhi sits too.

And even Kawhi plays, still like our chances with Harden.

Raptors dont have Embiid or AD like player.

 

Greg Monroe will score 40 plus points.

 

CP3 will only serve to cockblock Hardens magnificent record when he returns.

At this point, its better to ensure Harden continues to score 50+ a game and his teammates need to let him get the rebounds he needs to make sure he wins MVP.

 

You haven't watched any games I take it.Ennis's energy has helped us lately. His 3pt shot is also starting to fall.

 

People get REALLY distracted by his bad plays and overlook everything else.

He's shooting 49/37, shoots 70% at the rim, shooting 50% on corner 3's, has a 62% TS (the same as Harden) has very low turnover rates... yet half the board thinks he can't shoot, can't finish, is inefficient in general, turnover prone etc... They all couldn't be more wrong.

The best argument against Ennis is he's foul prone, averaging 4.4 per 36 which is high. He's just aggressive on D and gambles a lot, makes some silly fouls. For example, Beverley has a higher career foul rate then Ennis does.

 

Landry’s teeth

Nowitzki, Deke and Boozer all knocked them out.

 

I wonder what the rate of injury is in basketball compared to other professional sports? I still feel like the season is a little too long. The NBA product is damaged if teams are limping to the playoffs
