2018-19 Houston Rockets Thread of running it back (mainly)

Well he was playing like shit, and saying some passive aggressive stuff to the media.  

Hooefully he’s gotten over his slump, and over himself.

Gordon is awesome. Dumping him would be the end of the Rockets; he & along with the big 3/Tucker define the team. 

Also, sign House, the dude is badass.

If it was me, I’d have Austin Rivers running point when CP3 is getting back into the groove the next few games especially since Rivers is shooting like shit. Can’t grab a rebound tonight.

The Rockets are one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA. Hopefully with a healthy Capela and Faried that will change. Rivers, Gordon, and Ennis need to pick it up from the rebounding perspective.

Sooo many offensive rebounds by the Magic last night.

Would you trade Clint, Gordon, and all the picks for a year and a half of Brow?

Without hesitation yes. The Pelicans won’t go for that. I don’t think we have a shot at trading for Unibrow.

Yea but the pelicans have to know they won't get a full return for AD. Mainly because what you will get most in return is draft picks that is a unknown and you definitely are not getting anything close to AD in player return. So if they take a trade it will be for a stockpile of picks and Young guys with potential and since AD said he wants a contender then what type od picks are you getting any ways? Low first rounders?

playing with the trade machine to see about non-AD pelicans trades:

  • brandon knight for nikola mirotic works straight up.  rockets would have to include a first round pick to get new orleans' attention, but mirotic could be the stretch 4 morey has always dreamed about.
  • etwaun moore and julius randle for brandon knight and marquese chriss works.  would have to include at least 1 first rounder and maybe more as randle is having a big year and moore is a knockdown shooter.
  • brandon knight and eric gordon for jrue holiday works.  no idea what draft pick compensation would be required, but this is my favorite of the three because holiday is a really good player and would give the rockets 3 elite point guards.  he is owed a lot of money over the next 2+1 years so maybe his market isn't quite as lucrative for the pelicans because there will be teams who won't want to take on long term money.  

i seriously doubt any of these happen (particularly the 3rd), but it's fun to think about now that we know the pelicans will be sellers.

EG left Pelicans on very bad terms, they wouldnt want him if he was available for free. There would need to be a 3rd team to take on EG (many would want him: Pistons, 76ers, Pacers, etc)

Pelicans need to start tanking ASAP.  Can they loan us AD tonight?

How bad are these announcers? WTF?

yeah players only is a fucking abortion and i have no idea why they have kept with it.

Apparently this is “Players Only” which I didn’t know was a thing.

It’s terribad

If they don't get their heads out of their asses this could be one of the worst losses of the year

Yeah losing to the Pels without AD is an embarrassment 

Not only without Davis but also Randle and Mirotic. At home. Pathetic

 

That's an ugly damn loss.

Basically lost to a losing team's backups.  At home.  No excuse for that.

Houston has had trouble with NOP the last 2 or 3 years IIRC. They play a suffocating perimeter D with tall long guys that choke Harden; it's the blueprint for beating Houston. 

dantoni should have let Rivers run the show so they could not double Harden at the top.  

Also, when Capela returns, would like to experiment with the tall ball concept, Faried and Capela on the floor, get some rebounding improvement. Harden and Gordon on the wings with CP3 running it. Old school pg, sg, 3, 4, 5. 

That game is a 10 point win if Capela is playing. Okafor should not be getting 27 points in a game..

absolutely horrible loss and one of the worst games harden has played in a really long time.

I was so pissed that the Rockets lost to the Peliccans JV team last night.  But now, I'm thinking that since GSW winning is almost assured, maybe the only thing left to root for is Harden's MVP campaign, win or lose be damned. Cheering on this 30+ points streak like the Thunders' fans cheer for triple doubles. FML

He pushed off, but wanted a foul call.  What else is new.

With 15 seconds left in a 4-point game? At least attempt to make a play, don't just push a defender then turn and complain to the ref who called your bluff.

As much as I hope the streak continues, it might be best for the team if it ends soon.   If he was like 5 games away from Wilt, then it could be worth a loss or two.   But doesn’t hardens streak have to carryover to next season to break wilts record.    It’s not impossible but unlikely.

Would love to add them both. We'd definitely go from one of the worst rebounding teams to top 10 with Jordan.

Not really sure why people wouldn’t want DeAndre backing up capella? Jordan and what he does is tailor fit for this offense and harden throwing lobs to him. I would sign him asap if he was bought out! We need inside guys bad if we wanna make any kind of a run.

CP3 and DJ are still tight as far as I know. I'm sure he can bring him in, just like with Austin Rivers. DJ taking Nene's minutes, and moving Manimal to backup Tucker would be alright, but I kind of wonder if playing time may be a problem. If I'm DJ, I would try to go to the Warriors, who also need a backup C behind Boogie. 

Wes Matthews is another story, but he sure would be nice to have coming off the bench.

Matthews would be the starter at SF. Gordon would go back to 6th man, and the rotation would be very good.

I don't think the staff would make that move for continuity purposes, but he would stagger the mins to basically do the same thing.  I think EG would have a mental hangup to losing his starting spot while healthy to a guy off the street

eric gordon has been a 6th man for practically his entire rockets career.  i seriously doubt he'd have any mental hangups about resuming that role.

Bring DeAndre Jordan back home to Htown. If we added him along with Danuel House and with Green on the roster we would have maybe more hometown guys on the team than any other team in thr NBA. You know DeAndre would go all out like GG living his dream playing for the Rockets.

What a fucking qtr for the Rockets. 43 points 

Good game so far on ESPN. I'm just chilling in the hospital while my wife is in labor, so this is a nice distraction for us. Going on 14 hours, but making progress. Gonna have a groundhog day baby!

Congrats my man!! Praying for you for a healthy baby and complication free delivery.

Our defense has been dogshit the past 3 games. Horrible 2nd qtr with the turnovers and D

I thought the All-Star Game was next week 

We are old, slow and short. House needs to be signed ASAP

Really hoping morey is on the phones this morning. This team will end up .500 if he doesn’t and this focus now is all about harden dropping 50 every game instead of us winning and we are dropping in the standings. 

it might be a better idea to wait for the buy out market and keep this year's pick.
