Houston Rockets 2017 Preseason Thread - Spurs MyPlayers Take Over

[rosegoldsluggs]

This was the second game I've been able to watch all the way through. Damn Harden at pg is He looks comfortable and is making good decisions for the most part a little sloppy here and there but can't complain. He keeps it up he'll definitely have a chance to win MVP.

It's been awhile since I've seen actual offensive plays being ran consistently
It was tough watching the ISO ball for years[emoji]128534[/emoji][emoji]128565[/emoji] Glad that's behind us lol.

Harden's gas tank is going to empty by the all-star break

 

[Peep Game]

Yea that 41 minutes last night was :x and we needed every one of those minutes. The bench really needs to start extending leads so Harden can rest up

Both Harden AND Ariza with 41 minutes :x yikes. They need to shore that up with increased minutes for KJ, Dekker, and Harrell. They could even throw Wiltjer and Brown out there for 3-4 minutes.

The Rockets need a secondary offense in general whether Harden is on the court or on the bench.

For as good as the offense has been it's still Harden or bust.

That's why Brewer is starting now. Put Gordon in the second unit. Dekker starting to play well. That will help. But with Nene too, zero defense. More than normal.

Yeah and they need to get it done asap with a trade

truth

Dekker has been improving steadily

and KJ too

We def need another big that eat rebounds for dinner and another playmaker for when Gordon is MIA

McHale was on 97.5 this afternoon and said Dmo would be a great addition as a scorer to the second unit.

Plus his size will help. We typical go pretty small in the second unit. Ennis-Gordon-Dekker-KJ-Nene. Dekker is forced on some 4 he's not strong enough to keep outta the paint.

 

[polosanddunks]

Where is DMO btw. I completely forgot about dude. He's def the scorer we need for the second unit

 

[Retroballer]

He has a contract offer on the table. It's up to him to sign it.

 

[Peep Game]

If he does sign, I hope hes been practicing and staying in shape

 

[polosanddunks]

Yeah I hope he has been practicing and staying in shape

What was the offer the Rockets gave him again?

 

[Peep Game]

Last thing I read was something upwards of 7 mil a year. His agent must be pushing him for Evan Turner money instead if he hasnt signed

Agent is wilding. He's gotta come out and prove himself. That failed physical was a big question mark and he's injury prone. I wish he'd just sign and show

 

[markangelo]

after the game, a nice thread update would be : stealing 2 from the spurs never felt better 

 (6-3)

should be another good game..With some rest, hopefully the guys come out with lots of energy on both sides of the court.. Let's get it

[Peep Game]

I felt like the Spurs would come out pretty well prepared on the road. Anderson struggling right now pretty much swing this game's lead. He missed a good amount of 3s and those directly led to scores.

 

[Peep Game]

Way too many turnovers and missed open looks. They look like the team that played last night instead of the Spurs

 

[markangelo]

****

 

[Peep Game]

Wow those last couple of possessions sucked. Dug a hole in the first half, fought back, then let it get away. Actually grabbing some boards in the firsr half would have had the Rockets in it way before Gordon started getting hot. Pau and LMA can grab boards by accident since they're basically 2 giraffes standing in the paint. Capela has to really work for his against them.

 

[polosanddunks]

Not even tripping off this loss. Pop wasnt gonna let it happen and you knew he would adjust.

Gordon and Harden went in. Ryan Anderson has got to knock down those shots

Brewer shouldnt be seeing the floor at all

 

[Peep Game]

Will be a tough battle at the PF and C spots, but this is still the Sixers, and should clearly be a win

 

[markangelo]

why is KJ not getting any mins? he injured?

Dekker def improving

lets stomp the sixers and move on 

 

[Peep Game]

I just can't think of any legit reason Brewer still gets minutes over KJ.

Sloppy end to the half. Should be up like 20 instead of 13.
