Does it bother Rockets fans that Dwight isn't taking more shots? Basically, his output this season has been same as last year with the Lakers.

you dont want to force feed dwight the ball, you pay him for defense. difference between this year and last year is that he seems to be having more fun with this rockets team, they need to keep him entertained because if it ends up like the lakers last year he's going to start demanding more shots and messing up the offense. just throw women at him and have the bench guys constantly work on new hand shakes and you will have dwight distracted enough to not demand the ball and just play good defense

Someone asked how do you know if a team is tanking. The answer is you start Gordon Hayward and play him 30+ minutes a night.
Last 9 games
36/113 (31.8%)
7/25 from 3 (22%)
There are 27 starting Shooting Guards who are shooting a higher percentage than Gordon Hayward; Including Dion Waiters.

Why would it? He's playing less minutes b/c Asik isn't playing alongside him and is able to actually relieve him of minutes. He'll be better for it later in the season when he still has tread on the wheels. Also the Rockets are rolling, what's not to like?

not really. like i said, we tend to play better when the everyone gets shots, when we attack matchups. some nights dwight is gonna get force fed, some nights harden, but most nights we attack as a team. it's been fun to watch these last few games

This. Please explain. Right now, I don't see anything Kyrie has over Wall except better commercials.

Wait Hayward compared himself to George? 
Only knock against Kyrie is him being injury prone but that could change if he's ever on a good team.
Kyrie seems more skillful with less time in the league. I recall ppl saying he may not be ready with only like 7 college games played but he's acclimated to the game crazy fast. Then when you look at Wall it took longer and now he's really good but I can see future doubt about him being similar to Westbrook. He's gotten much better with his shot but one might question if he only knows two speeds; fast and super fast. He needs to integrate more variation with his speed and how he finishes.

At Memphis, Rose had a TON of games where he scored in the single digits. Like 10+ games, more than a quarter of the seasonWiggins is not it man

OK. Not sure I agree, but at least you gave reasons. If Kyrie is really better in all those areas, why is Wall is putting up better, more efficient numbers and his team is winning more?

I can't speak for stats (season aint over yet) but Wall's team is winning more cuz they have a better squad, everything is not equal, we aint comparing 12 Kyries to 12 Walls
Gotta account for schedule as well.Plus it's pretty clear Wall is really flourishing this season so far as opposed to prior seasons.

I read that thinking the same thing. Who gives a **** what Kobe said about some other player?What if Kobe thinks Wall's a great competitor too but just never was in the situation to straight up say it as it came to mind? Does this mean that every player he hasn't said was a great competitor isn't one?
