I used to be all over Terrence Jones but Im done with his b**** ass. I was wrong, he has regressed hard and I cant wait for D-mo to get back and Harrel to back him up. Trade tj for a pack of gum or something. Trevor Ariza sucks too we need someone else there badly. He plays like Jamal Crawford or JR Smith sometimes except he gets hot about 10x less. Everyone needs to stop standing still on offense.
This is rediculous though I'm not understanding the mess we are putting out there and why don't he play kj and Thornton more
For some time now (probably dating back early last season) I have had a suspicion that this team has no real shot at a title and needs to go full on youth movement. Howard eats up too much salary for what he is: a rim protector with no shot, nothing between the ears, and barely plays anyway due to injuries and foul trouble. Motiejunas is and has been the second best player on the team. He was the only one aside from Harden who could create his own shot. Let's hope Dwight doesn't opt in and DMO gets well soon and returns to form.
1 - harden peaked, confirmed scrub rest of his career. trade him beefore anyone fins out 2 - harrel steal of the draft 3 - ariza hasnt missed a step, probably gained a few 4 - mchale still not starting lin!
I'm not worried about any trades right now. Really don't understand why so many are trying to predict one this early. The problem I see with this team so far is: 1. The players doesn't know their roles and responsibilities. It was very alarming to me when McHale said the other day, that Dwight is the only one that barks out the defense assignments. That means they're clueless without him. On offense we're still seeing a lot of ISO_HARDEN. We finally have a true point guard but we're too stubborn with this Morey Ball offense. In which relies on three point shooting, spacing for the dribble penetration and free throws. Unfortunately Denver and now Golden State has figured us out, so they're packing the paint and daring our inept shooters to beat them from downtown. 2. I can not understand for the life of me why we have to switch every freaking thing. Knowing darn well Curry kills us every time we switch a big on him. So I'm wondering are we not looking at film and learning from our mistakes. 3. McHale is not utilizing his bench properly. Thornton should be seeing some playing time. Tonight as well as Wed night Harrell should have played more minutes. This young man is playing with a lot of energy and passion out there. Why isn't the Jet not getting any burn? Are we trying to save him for later in the season? 4. Harden needs to get his head and beard out his butt and play some ball. I never seen a Superstar off a season shooting atrociously like this man. 29% and 22% is not going to cut it. He also need to sacrifice his ball handling duties and allow Lawson to do his job.
Same offence which carried us to 2nd best record last season and the WCF? Suuure, no knee jerks here Give em at least a few games to play together? Pre season sucked for us.
I see how you purposedly avoided mentioning Harden, who is considered the face of the franchise. Is he beyond criticism? He gets the most recognition when the team is doing well, so similarly, when the team isn't performing, he should shoulder most of the blame. So why is he left out?
-We don't run plays and its hurting because teams know how to play us now -Harden is outta shape and playing catch up -We got a playmaking PG but Harden nor McHale allows him any control -Our 3's aren't falling but we aren't getting any good looks because the lack of set plays. No cutting just spot up contested 3's
Defensive breakdowns are the most concerning. The number of wide open uncontested shots the rockets give up is appalling. The worst part about it is I don't think the coaching staff thinks there is anything wrong with it.
