This. I think people wanted scrappy team ball to watch them grow while sucking. But that’s really a red herring. Most people come on here to vent and complain. Most of CF didn’t want or ask for The Process. A half baked three year Process is a smegma of endless hopeless losses mixed with fan tears...all for the hope of a coin flip at the very end. We’re the Houston frickin Rockets, not some bottom dwelling team like the sixers was. Some even wanted perfection or nothing at all. We gotta get lucky for the next three years. Stone better learn to hedge fast and hedge correctly. Murray wasn’t perfect but he fixed and ate most of his mistakes within two years. Wasn’t perfect but the hustle was mostly appreciated. Ferntits gotta stfu and watch. Use that big ****ing mouth to own the losses and give his new FO a chance to grow under fire
imagine if we drafted Cade and he has to share the floor with Wall I see nothing but stunted development and picking up bad habits in that scenario
If you had a healthy wood and there was some health going on, they might be around .500. But the truth is, this team couldn't beat the 2011-12, 34-32 in a short season? lead by Kevin Martin.. Rockets just need to rid themselves of Harden old team, which should be done here pretty soon you'd assume, unless the rockets are just going to let there contracts expire and not even care. Dipo and Gordon trades should be done asap.
There were 8 active players last night. Who got deprived? Omg Mason Jones Jr took 5 shots he should have taken 8 to help his development!!11!!! Even if that that's true (it's not) that's on him for passing up shots (and he did pass up open shots in the first half, JVG noted it)
Man, y'all are depressing. LOL "Just great...we got the first pick in the draft instead of Miam's 16th. Now we have to pair Cunningham with Wall, which will ensure he never reaches potential." Bunch of sad sacks in this place.
I can’t help it if facts hurt ball hog Wall trying to be the self-proclaimed franchise player isn’t a good thing
Silas is puss. He ditched James for playing isocentric and as soon as he gone John Wall and that gypsy bum Oladipo just took role of James and Westbrook. This is partly great because of potential top3 pick, but this is playground basketball bullshit and EG for sure aint having fun anymore
The Rockets are pretty much unwatchable for me right now (said this 2 weeks ago), but I understand that we have to be patient right now. I was actually happy that VO put up some numbers last night, we need his value higher to get anything in return. Also we need to lose, lose, lose to position ourselves for a Top 4 this year. I'm actually worried that when Wood returns and KPJ is elevated we might win a few more than we need to. So yes, on with the PROCESS of rebuilding--it's likely going to be a rough couple of years or more.
When Wall gets the ball. I know 1 of 3 things happen in this order 1. Drive to the basket 2. LONG Two maybe a Three but more than likely a TWO 3. He will get trapped and forced to throw the ball to someone . . .then immediately expect it back Rocket River
He looked so bad in the first half...like complete airball/bricks. He finally started hitting a few shots as the game went on, but man it's unbelievable how bad he looks. JVG even mentioned a couple of times how it seems like he has no explosion and can't get past his man. If I had to guess I'd say he still doesn't look 100%, but I then again it's possible he may never be.
How's that? We're spoiled from having the greatest offensive shot creation machine on the planet for the last decade. Most players are far south of that standard. Wall certainly didn't ruin Bradley Beal's development, and the Wizards produced soem decent role players when he was there like Otto Porter, Davis Bertans, etc.
YOu mean he tries to get a layup or a 3? Good lord, where did he get the idea that that's the way to play basketballl?
John Wall wasn’t this selfish in Washington...here he has a career high usage and career low assist percentage...he’s looking for his more than at any point in his career making absolutely no one better which is what u want to see from your PG and self-proclaimed franchise player guys like Otto Porter are role players who just spot up and Bertans never played with Wall...Beal did a ton of off-ball stuff with Wall someone like Cade I would want with the ball in his hands controlling the offense and getting reps from day 1...not being a bystander so that Wall can do his homeless Harden impersonation
