Nix is an inspiration! I was inspired to buy some $49 bball shoes from Korea and work on my jumper. And I'm 52 with a torn calf muscle and gout!
They went on a run with Nix out there by just isolating him and easily getting to the hoop. His defensive reflexes are just not there - it was bad
Did y'all see this? "Daishen Nix has unfollowed the Houston Rockets and deleted all of his pics in a Rockets jersey" Does I.D.I.O.T.? Arbitration needed, @Os Trigonum Screw it. Fortune favors the bold, isn't that what they say?
He actually looked like the Nix we were expecting before the season. He was hustling on D and was distributing the ball with confidence. His hair must have been blocking his peripheral vision…
Would you rather break 4 ribs or get the news that the Rockets maxed out Nix for 5 years? Because broken ribs suck. Kidney stones?
2 good games in a row by the new Nix. Maybe the unfollowing/ possibly leaving situation lit a fire under his arse.
The fact that this dude takes it upon himself to be the man during last possessions to close out halves when Jalen Green is on the floor alone should get him banned to the shadow realm. I think we've reached past the point where Jalen Green needs god damn Deshaun Nix running pg with him. If Jalen needs pg help, it has to be a player 10x better than Nix. Jalen in those closing possessions just should take the ball down the court himself because if Nix does it, he's going to spam dribble and not even get a shot off because he sucks at creating his own shot.
The head scratcher is how the hell is he still on this roster? Silas, can you explain this bullshit? If you can let Nix play like trash, you might as well put TyTy in there and work it out as a rookie.
Also if you want to examine the difference between two players with vastly different work ethics, Jalen Green and Nix were rated at the same level in high school as the top guards of their class. Ya it's absurd to think that was once the case. Nix was eating too many Cheeseburgers while Green was relentlessly training.
