Trades The Rockets Should Consider Before The Playoffs

So, Gordon and Anderson are different player and you based it on the fact that Gordon can create his own scoring and Anderson cannot?

Well, listen carefully: Ibaka can create his own shots, too, just like E. Gordon can. Why settle on less when you can get more?


Anderson is a complimentary piece to Harden?

Listen carefully: Ibaka can serve as a bigger complimentary piece to Harden, and a real advantage there given they are former teammates and have more playing time together than Harden/Anderson.


You said Anderson is not the most impressive player, and that you agree he's overpaid, and that he cannot create his own offense but SOMEHOW I'm just not seeing this mysterious "impact" he brings to the Rockets??

Can any Rox Fan decipher this silliness because he's right, I cannot argue against stupidity contradicting stupidity ----- that's like a guy fighting against his own consciousness of Good and Evil. Im speechless, and is as much a spectacle to see this stupidity knocking itself against stupidity.....how can you argue against stupidty?


And again, his 40% on 3s "MADE" is mostly coming when the game is already decided. Just like I explained. Or against 2nd and 3rd stringers. Unless you can show me clips of the top 3 teams from the West Conf. and East Conf. where Anderson was converting on his 3s against those teams' starting 5 units at 40% (coughs). I only remember one good game where he was making his 3s consistently against top teams: GSW.

If you strip out the minutes he played against the 2nd and 3rd stringers and the minutes he played when the game was already decided (a loss for us), his 3s would be something like 28% to 30%. THAT'S HIS TRUE EFF/ACC rate "against the top-echelon teams, and their starting 5 units." So, don't get it twisted what I'm saying. I was clear about it from the onset.


And I'm laughing at this notion that when Anderson is not left open, "he changes the spacing of our offense."

Lololololol!!!

He does nothing but attempt to drive it to the basket. But being so slow, his man quickly cover grounds on him and thwart his path to the basket where Anderson then stop and try to double fake his man in the air to create a foul and shot. But being so embarassing and predictable, the Defender is able to bite on the fake; jump and come back down without fouling Anderson.

And out of desperation, Anderson gives a last-ditch effort to get the guy to foul him again by leaning in him, leaning back...hoping the guy jump again but he doesn't.

And a desperate-looking Anderson just look AWFUL, all of a sudden, and out of sync with whatever the hell he's trying do and finally give up the ball by passing it out and suffer in his self-humiliation and PATHETIC performance. Just god-awful pathetic, man! He's a joke for sure.

You will NEVER see Ibaka put on such a weak display of skills and trying to create spacing for a shot. Please don't make me laugh by bringing that up about Anderson' game, man. Hahaha...smh.


As to the rest of your drivel about me getting clowned by you and whoever else, I leave that to our peers to decide. I don't care. I stand by my argument. Anderson sucks. And I respect your rights to disagree.

 

Your life will change for the better when you stop acting like a juvenile and butt-hurt because someone don't like "your boy." Do better, fella.

 

In D'Antoni offense, man. In D'Antoni offense. He could be a better productive player than Dekker.

 

Look man, don't sit there and act like you're some Guru at Basketball ---- do you know me? Of course you don't. You act like the D'Antoni offense requires a Master Course to understand. Haha....did you ever play organized baskebtall??

Who you told you about "Offensive Philosphy and Spacing"?? Did you read about it or play in such a system? Anyone with an ounce of basketball sense would know a given style of offense when you eliminate the traditional 4 spot and make it intercheageable with the 5 spot to create spacing for an offense based on the defense' reaction.

It's Read and React, and players will see that when the traditional PF is at the perimeter as Shooters. The floor is wide open for opportunities which is why you need a disciplined and matured PG to run an offense like that.

I could run rings around your feeble-understanding what you think that offense is. Which angle of the court is best to initiate the D'Antoni Offense?

A.) In the middle at the top of the key
B.) Inside to a frontcourt player
C.) At the elbow of a half-court setting


Why is someone like Capela and Nene always at the top of the key with the ball? Explain the science of that?


I regress though. This is not even a basketball debate. You're trying to challege me intellectually and think you gonna win that, too. Smh...silly.

You know what though....since you said you love Ibaka' game and even admitted he's better than Anderson, my debate with you is over. That's an intellectual decision you didn't see coming, huh? Hehe. Thanks for your input and your very "intellectual commentary", sir. Byeee.

 

Here you go, Clown:


Rox vs. Cavs: R. Anderson' Performance by the Quarter

1st Quarter:

8:10 missed 30 ft 3 pointer
6:05 makes 24 ft. 3 pointer
4:52 miss lay-up (PATHETIC....smh)
4:50 miss lay-up (again! Smh)


2nd Quarter:

7:31 missed 3 point
6:09 missed 9 ft jumper
2:54 missed 15 footer
1:05 makes 27 ft. 3 point (against 2nd unit)



3rd Quarter

9:53 makes 25 ft 3 point
5:30 missee 26 ft 3 point
4:30 missed 5 footer


4 Quater:

2:17 (Game was already decided (our loss)....notice Anderson didn't come into the 4th quarter til the 2:17 mark? And this was against 2nd and 3rd stringers)

makes 3 point. (game already decided, we loss)




So, as we can see against a top echelon team, when we need his 3 point shooting, its not there. When its against the 2nd unit or when the game is decided, he miraculously start making his 3s then. Like he did in that Cavs game at the 2:17 mark of the 4th quarter....EXACTLY WHAT I SAID about him hitting 3s and padding his stats in a losing effort.


Now, who's the Clown. ThIs is evidence in most of the top teams we play. Anderson don't come alive enough for us to stay in the game. We need better. Simple as that!

That's where Ibaka comes in. He wont be missing lay-ups two times in a row, seconds apart.

I think Anderson role is best suited off the bench and we should trade for Ibaka....even if they want Anderson. You give him up. Ibaka is that much better.


Again...who's the clown, now??
