rockets baited this team into p;aying stupidly

how can howard and mcgee only have 4 points apiece
when you are playing a small team>
Easily...
Anthony Davis is the lynchpin.

When he goes to the bench its just not smart to sub in Howard. He can't rotate fast enough on the perimeter or handle the guards off the dribble. So almost by default he's eliminated. Then you eventually will move AD to the 5 because McGee is another Howard and what you gain in rebounding doesn't offset what you'll lose in offense playing us. Their size eliminates itself if the rockets shoot the long ball well... and at that point it's on the rockets to make shots... you spread the floor and russ has nothing clogging up the middle as he attacks the rim... and the rockets have shooters galore... Rivers, McLemore, Gordon, Harden, Covington, Tucker, Clemons, House is streaky but can hit them...

I'm not necessarily a fan of this but long story short the rockets are a matchup nightmare that most teams will have trouble with

Howard didnt hardly play in the 2nd half. Thats on Vogel. Bron's shot wasnt falling tonight so he was dishing, but late they needed another player shooting them 3s instead of him. Covington is a nice addition to the Rockets. He gives them that 3-D guy they lost when Ariza bounced.
 
And for the record, I don't see this winning a chip.

It'll be entertaining, but I just don't see it as CHAMPIONSHIP basketbal.
 
Either way, good win tonight and this will temporarily shut up the small ball haters...

But best believe the second they shoot bad and/or get dominated on the boards by a bigger team the Shaqs/Barkleys of the world will be extremely loud with their I TOLD YOU SO's and chest thumping
 
Dying @ bills acting like this nigga bout to be a stud slot receiver facing opposing teams out matched nickel corners. :lol:

Man this nigga stinks!!

Id be surprised if he is still around by August. Props on getting a potential lottery pick in the process tho.


We shall see.
But I'm not here for anyone talking about Harrison Barnes.
 
I think the problem is he’s only showing flashes of being a good player. He’s been in the league for a minute now. Front offices looking at him like he’s old now. They’re hoping he can knock down wide open shots in the bay to justify that bloated salary.


But the point is all he has to do is knock down wide open shots lol
From jump I said we'll see and I have no idea if he will
he can but can he be consistent? that remains to be seen.

I don’t think he can be consistent for a full season. Playing third fiddle is going to mess with his head
 



What the hell is Charles Barkley talking about,he makes it sound like the Cavs sent a bunch of draft picks and quality players to the Pistons.


Brandon Knight only plays when we're getting blown out or one of the guards either sick or hurt,if that.

Henson is a backup center,who only plays 8-10 minutes per game.



What the hell his he talking about.
 
this rockets small ball will look good and be fun to watch in the regular season for the most part. it'll be interesting to see do they(harden) fizzle out once again in the playoffs from being tired from shooting all those jumpers. and rebounds will be key. lakers presented a great matchup for them as their big men got exposed. denver and the clippers should negate this with their depth.
 
Teague isn't garbage

and Steph isn't a traditional one


Teague is garbage compared to a good point guard that's why he keeps bouncing around let's not do that.
You wouldn't put him in the top 15 of point guards
and Steph COULD be a traditional one if needed but because of how he affects the floor he does his job with and without the ball
 
Malik Beasley and Juancho Hernangomez literally got traded to the same situation. They will both be buried on the bench and attempt to find more playing time as restricted free agents. Smh
 

And Bitch ass Embiid didn't come back in the second half cause of a stiff neck. :smh:
