when talking about playing with one guy...vs playing with two...especially in a bunch of variations... you're right, playing with two guys increases your chance of bad luck...best to be monogamous
I agree, dragic will way better when he plays with Lee... Am afraid that Lowly will destroy chemistry within the team
Now I get it...it must be Lee. Remember when Lowry played so well as a backup to Brooks when he played with Lee. Lee is the key to our PGs being good. Now I get it.
More Lowry and Dragic has meant less C. Lee in crucial game situations. Lee adds defensive intensity and provides more size and quickness ten Lowry, and that may have hurt us in the past couple of games. The rotation has to be readjusted to Lowrys return, it still hasn't been tweaked correctly by the coach.
There can be other reasons. It's not always cause and effect. The team esp. Dragic, Lee and Parsons could be gassed from playing heavy minutes that they're not used to playing. Jazz and Suns could have scouted our simple offense and we don't have (haven't designed) countermoves yet. When the post moves are not working and the three-ball not going in, what can we do to make scoring easier? Asst coach Chris Finch should speak up since he worked with Adelman's offense in the DLeague. Shooting woes trigger a chain reaction in our lack of confidence and tentativeness of defense. I agree with cutting Dragic's minutes so he can rest a bit--like 30/18 share with Lowry. With the team so heavily PG-dependent, we could use Parsons as more of a playmaker, and help him on defensive duties. He seems a step slower on defense too.
Yes. While Kyle and Goran can pay together it is not optimal for both of their games, they both are rythmn players and play much better when they each dominate the ball. DD
Sometimes if something is working you shouldn't change it. They should have just gae klow minimum minutes until they started losing.
absolutely... bench lowry's ass and put boykins back in. you all are ridiculous. lowry is not why we lost that game. shooting 21% from the arc hurt, lee going 4-12 didn't help.
So would anyone prefer to deliberately bench a player who is unquestionably either the Rockets' best or second best player and who has been shooting, passing, getting to the line, and defending approximately as well in backup minutes as he was at Valentines day when everyone here was calling for him to be an All-Star? Will replacing this guy with Earl Boykins make us more likely to win in the playoffs?
So its Lowry's fault that we can't hit wide open shots/layups? I lol so hard on this one. Lowry is even getting good assist numbers and playing as hard as ever on the defensive end. Lowry lead the charge against the Jazz and helped the bench actually do something against the Suns in the first/second quarter.
This. We're getting the same shots we were getting during the win streak, but they just aren't dropping. This is one of those times where a healthy and motivated Kevin Martin would have made a world of difference.
I'm happy Lowry is back. I don't really know if he's completely back to being Lowry, but he's the leader of the team and it's good to see him out there. As mentioned before, we still have Kevin Martin out, who was also a major factor on offense at least.
The Rox since being back home have shot terribly and having no real consistent inside presence I blieve is the main reason for Rox struggles. Its hard for a team to totally rely on outside shooting all the time and the Rox lack of a consistent inside game will keep this team from being legit. Now I see why organization was so down about not getting Pao Gasol.
