The Beard Might Need Shaving: 2020-2021 Houston Rockets Season Thread

[who_better_than_me]

Witho it Gordon and wall we need to sign Brooks from the vipers and let’s the youths play. Got my boy Mason Jones coming back. I never gave a fukk about the Winning since Harden got traded. I was jsut focused on keeping our draft pick this year and getting a top 4 lottery prospect. I watch the entire second half. For th e first time in weeks last night because of Tate, Porter, Lamb, and KJM. I jsut want to see the youth get minutes. Glad Gordon not playing(not happy he injured) nomore this season. Give his minutes to Jones and KPJ.

I had hope for Patton, but dude getting worse every game.

What a lineup lmao

They have something with KPJ, KJ, Tate, and maybe even Lamb. Lamb didn’t do much scoring, but he was doing all the little things and hustling like you want. Good redemption game from Patton as well.

I like em but
none of them nigguh can shoot the three averagely. No way they can all play in the floor together. Lol none of our under 25 guys can shoot besides KPJ. That’s why we need Cunningham. Imagine If we traded for Simmons package. Him with this squad of non-shooters would be lottery bound. We’d have to reshape our enemies roster for Simmons


On the flip side I was ready to give up on Patton but KPJ made that fool look like an actual nba center last night. That’s why I said wall might as well move to sg becuz he ain’t making better other than Himself and his opponents in

I'm curious what youth picks y'all can get for wall/tuck/gordon/dipo..

what's the hr?

and what's more realistic?

Nothin probably now for Gordon wall and Tucker. Maybe something for Dipo but it’s hard to gauge. I wouldn’t want to the if I have to attach anything to them.

 

[Playaz Eyez]

What a thorough beating this was. My goodness Dipo is a VERY bad player. He was cool early, but the nuts started chucking up shots like he was trying to showcase himself, basically stalling out the rest of the team. Dipo and Mclemore simply don’t need to be here anymore, Dipo cause he’s just straight up bad, and Mclemore cause he doesn’t fit the future of the team. The tank is still on track.

Thank god I only caught glimpses of the game up here in South Dakota. How many straight loses is this? 16? The team only works of Wood is back because Dipo should Only do defense and fast break points. Dude fell off after his injury

 

[King Jove]

harden's gravity really made mclemore look like a top 10 shooter.....

I hope when the Rockets start building the roster up and get the players they want, big men are a part of the plan. There's no way they can be competitive in the NBA without big men especially if you don't have Harden & Westbrook or multiple max players.

They gotta get this small ball shyt all the way the fukk outta here. They haven't lost this many in a row EVER, and they are creeping into some all time bad territory if you check the link:

Also, we gotta start calling out Silas. Injuries be damned after all these straight loses

They not really running anything on offense. During his intro press conference it sounded like he had some innovative ideas with ball movement, player movement, pace, tempo and sets. But I haven't seen any semblance of any of that. No go to plays to get something easy at the rim or even an open three, nothing.

I don't want to be too harsh because man do I want him to succeed and I know the talent isn't there right now, but there is no structure to the offense whatsoever.

It's like he just says, go out there and play. Wanted him to be decent but the team is the worst since I been alive

I’m not gonna call him out for a roster that’s intentionally built to lose. Pop and Spolstra wouldn’t win with a team full of nothing but 6’5” guys and the lone (non injured) center being one fresh out of G-League and playing his 5th game for them. This small ball stuff is a sham, but they have purposely done this. Even before Wood went down, they never truly addressed size on the team. Cousins coming off of another injury and rehab stint should not have been the only backup big, and they should’ve upgraded PJ’s spot heading into last season.
