Will Ryan Anderson be viable in a playoff rotation?

Its his offense that dies in the playoffs. Dropping off almost 5 ppg. Which means he's only hitting 3 shots a night in the playoffs as a starter. I don't think it's because he shrivels up, but frankly, he's just too guardable and one dimensional. We expect him to be below average on defense, but if he can't find an open look on offense then he's a waste of space out there. When Nene went down his defensive liabilities shined as we got hit on the boards hard.

 

I'm thinking if we can trade him to Kenya for a marathon runne and a vending machine for the lockeroom, we have to pull the trigger...making sure not to shoot the female white rhino when we pull it.

 

Small ball.

 

He needs to shoot 8 times per game.

 

Depends on series

 

Yeah let's just totally forget about the fact that he came up huge for us for more than half the series against the Spurs and only consistently shot poorly against OKC in the first series. Ryno is totally viable and his contract causes too many dummies to underrate him.

 

Yeah by "more than half" you meant 4/6? So the guy played ok 4/6 games and was trash 2/6 that is a great accomplishment? You mean to tell me a guy who is trash 33% of the time in the Spurs series was "big" for the Rockets? I mean Harden tried to show up every game and 1 game he laid a turd he was crucified on this board, but Anderson who was trash 30% of the oh yeah that guy was BIG for us. Oh but wait, that was just the 2nd series; in the first series he was trash 4/5 times but I guess we just forget that just because.

I'm a dummy for thinking a guy who was beyond horrible 6/11 games the Rocjets played in the playoffs. And I guess you are smart for focusing on the 5 games Anderson did ok the entire playoffs and ignoring everything else?

Career 7 ppg in the playoffs how is he underrated? Disregarding his contract you tell me why he should get play time over Luc, Tucker and even Green who are much better defensively and more aggressive offensively?
