From what I remember he has a good 3 point percentage which will be nice. He doesn't though. His best season was his 50 game stretch with the Bucks where he cracked .400 but outside of that he is a career .357 from 3 on 4.6/game. Passable but not good imo. In the 2 seasons since he has shot .337 on 4.6/game which isn't passable but straight up not good. Edited November 16, 20187 yr by ztejas

November 16, 20187 yr I was hoping this would be a good game. Ws completely disinterested and giving it about 80%. Probably not trying to burn themselves out on the road against a team with a vendetta against them.
November 16, 20187 yr That was a several minute stretch of how to play fast break defense by Chris Paul. Holy shit.
November 16, 20187 yr Taking out their aggression from last year -- they needed this though on a number of levels.

November 16, 20187 yr Get rid of Jello, beating a Warriors by 30. Not a coincidence. Dude is a cancer.
November 16, 20187 yr It's only one game, but terrible cohesion by Golden State. Maybe they really need Curry back just for his stability and leadership alone.
November 16, 20187 yr The team played with more effort today than they have all season and it paid off. The weight of Melo is off their back and they can play hard now I guess
November 16, 20187 yr Wow, did not expect a thrashing of Golden State, but that's quite a turn around from 2 weeks ago! Pretty awesome to see GS so flat without Curry and still figuring out the lockerroom situation. If Morey can find a way to send Melo to Golden State, then I think they have a good chance of making the finals.

Honestly the NBA is trash and after the Rockets experienced it firsthand last year in that Western Conf finals they just going to go though the motions from here on out. Doesn't matter what you do, if the storyline and the NBA wants you to lose, you lose. Pretty funny how they suspend Draymond after calling Durant a bitch, but not after he acts like a bitch kicking people in the balls every game.
November 17, 20187 yr It's funny how Jeff Bzdelik improved the defense without sitting courtside (he's to rejoin the team after Thanksgiving). I personally believe one of his requirements to come back to the Rockets was jettisoning Melo. The defensive numbers tell the story.

And pretty clear Tilman said, "I didn't pay 2b for this shit."
November 18, 20187 yr We’re starting to play like last season’s Rockets. Back when they were fun to watch.
November 22, 20187 yr Flip on the Rockets for a little bit, watch the most disgusting retarded charge called against Harden. Dude was completely moving while Harden was driving to the lane, the contact happens as he is gathering and going up on his drive to shoot... Pathetic.
November 22, 20187 yr Big Fella Heartenstein has been fun to watch. He is actually contributing at an above average level and growing into a solid bench role player. Moves wel too. Good win with the PJ ejection in the third they had to deal with.

Good win with the PJ ejection in the third they had to deal with. Bullard made a good point about 10 days ago... Playing with Hartensteins level of constant effort is a skill set. Usually, that's some little white dude that is going to play 6 minutes in about 20 games. This cat plays hard consistently and gets results. I'm glad he's here.
November 24, 20187 yr crazy game. Looked like Griffin hit a game winning 3 but then Eric Gordon ties it up to send it to OT
November 24, 20187 yr 11 minutes ago, perfectchaos007 said: Career high 29 points for Clint but Rockets lost in OT. Harden was atrocious in the 4th quarter/OT. Poor ball handling led to multiple turnovers and he blew a defensive assignment which put the game out of reach for the Rockets. But the Pistons have become a better team under Dwane Casey. Oh well, time to start another streak.
November 24, 20187 yr Jodie Meeks and his career 37.2% BTA shooting percentage just became available. I'd give him a shot over Carter-Williams.

I think he's worth a look too -- he's a good shooter and will probably get the best looks of his career so far with Houston if he meshes well. I don't know how much he can help defensively. Even though Houston lost this past game, they should be ok for a bit, they are playing better now.

Jodie has the best TS%, ORtg, DRtg, and WS/48. With Gordon struggling on both sides of the floor right now, bringing in Meeks, who is a better spot up shooter wouldn't be the worse thing.
November 25, 20187 yr Cavs are a lot better than their record and will be quite good next year with Zion.
November 25, 20187 yr Still would be embarrassing to lose to them tonight. Down by 6 right now in the 3rd
November 25, 20187 yr Harden called twice for stepping over the FT line before ball hit rim. You almost never see that called
November 25, 20187 yr 38 minutes ago, Iconoclast Texan said: The effort tonight has been embarrassing. Gordon continues to suck. Gordon has 28 on 8-16 and 5-11 from 3. Can't stop Sexton. Cavs beat Phi and Hou back to back on the road - without Lebron!
November 27, 20187 yr harden is absolutely scorching tonight. 44 points through 3 quarters. ...and the rockets need every one of them as they struggle with the lowly wizards.
November 27, 20187 yr Clark is too inconsistent right now to get major minutes off the bench. Rockets need another wing player. Markieff Morris or a Jeff Green would be a good enough replacement. Edited November 27, 20187 yr by HtownHorn
November 27, 20187 yr Our bench sucks BAD, none of those guys are gonna consistently contribute through a long season and playoffs. Even when we get cp3 back that bench is basically just Gordon and you are hoping Green catches fire and other than that its not good. BKnight is a flip of the coin given his injury so as of right now Morey took a massive two steps backwards with this roster. Not sure how you upgrade it with no one worth a shit unless you plan on trading tucker and Gordon but then you are right back in the same problem with no bench and starters logging 40 minutes a night.
