The backcourt is raising eyebrows. Over the last month, oops and announcers have been saying Houston got next. KAT said this ain’t the same team they beat on opening night and that backcourt will scary next season. The Brooklyn announcer said she thinks offensively they’re already there but Hosuton needs to focus on improving the defense. Been saying this for a while. Hornacek ain’t coaching shyt in defense. We can average 115+ but give up 130. It’s not an individual problem but a team problem. A team concept issue
Sounds like the Kings lmao. It doesn’t always get better.

I think the top four or so picks are happy with who they have but green would be even better next to garland honestly. For his career he would have immediately done what he’s doing now in the end of the season with a pg like Darius who is naturally good at setting up team mates vs KPJ cosplaying as a point guard
Green would’ve struggled regardless of who he’s playing with. He came in as 19 year old. There was always going to be an adjustment period.. 19 year old don’t come in dominating the league. He showed sign back in Decemeber of figuring it out but then got hurt missed a couple of games and came back rusty. But the games in December he was playing and shooting like he was in March.

And KPJ doesn’t hamper Green. It’s the opposite. Green plays his best ball with KPj on the floor . He’s shooting some like 11% better(Ts) with KPJ. He shoots 63% TS with KPJ versus 52% with KPj on the bench

I think playing without a real pg, Christian wood, Gordon, and a bunch of bad defenders didn’t help green initially even with the minor struggles. Playing second behind garland as what he’s become would have been way easier for him. To me Toronto and Cleveland would have been perfect spots for him with the talent around currently. Rockets the best fit personality and future role wise because he can be that 25ppg scorer who just gets buckets.

It's funny, but people really thought a 16-17 year old kid who was training with Steph Curry and Luka Doncic would not be special.

That guy was trained by Steph's trainer as a high schooler, dude's shooting foundation is top tier.

We got bad coaches. If we can get better coaching and allow them to gel next seaon, they'll be like the new Grizzlies the following season.

Green isn’t a chucker. He doesn’t complain about his role on offense. If he played in Cleveland sexton and garland would’ve overshadowed him
In the court offensively because Green isn’t a selfish player. He played the PJ Tucker role for the first half of the season, sitting in the corner without never saying a work.


Him and kpj are aight and really close like brother. Before Green was drafted. Kpj isn’t the issue. He’s big brother to Green and takes on the harder assignments. They compliment each other well. Ppl keep saying they want Green usuage and touches to go up but why. He’s a bucket as the off guard. That’s merry valuable in any league when you get yours without pounding the ball. Like Steph or Klay. I rather Jalen stay as the off guard and Silas becomes a real coach and start implementing some motion offense to get him going off the ball versus some combo guard . It’s easier to run an offense when both guard don’t need the ball in their hand score. I like the dynamic our backcourt has. I wouldn’t mess with it(and I would still state Ivey if that’s the only option left). We need to focus on the front court for improvement. Green and KPj are averaging 55 ppg as a backcourt since March on 47 percent shooting and 40 from 3, and the real+/- is actually good.

The thing is each of those top four teams drafted a cornerstone for their franchises who are capable of winning a few rings.

Now comes the GM's responsibility to bring the other pieces there. Everything needs to happen to win a championship.

To that end, Houston and Toronto have a big lead because at the end of the day with those markets, big named players will want to play there whenever those teams look like they have something special.

Toronto hasn’t signed a marquee player ever tho
They have a incredible gm who is willing to trade for playwrs based on talent regardless if they like Toronto or not

Houston should be a free agent hub tho

And Houston has a bigger advantage because they have the most drafts in the 5 years outside of OKC that they can use as asset to trade for another star let eh youngin gw play together and figure it out and once they’re ready to compete, trade those draft picks for a star in an unhappy situation

We haven’t signed too many big stars. Outside of Howard and Pippen, we usually trade for our stars.

hopefully this is not paul mcpherson and alex english level.

as real talk...
this rockets team coach who can not get it right.
is on them..
as they have the personnell and do not really know how to rock it frfr.

all they need was a real big.

they have one through four.
personally i would get rid of the coaches because this is a player's league and you need to make it work with these players whether you black or white.

if you can't.
well you need to be removed because the rockets have the personnel.
if the coaching is out of touch...that this happens and they can not win with the pieces they have on paper.

well they gotta go.

as no rockets owner should be pleased with the rockets losing and they are staffed period.



i like the prospect of the coaching but they have disconnect and need a chance to ramp and figure it out.
yet if that does not happen. you need to bring in real proven black coaches,.
who do not suffer from disconnect.
which is the rockets issues, as they have no issues in personnel.
the issue is the team gelling and buying into a team scope and philosophy.
that the rockets have the personnell to do.

yet the coaching has failed to remedy so far.


rockets should be starting;

porter
green
wood
seguine

then acquiring an of size real center.
the reason the rockets lose is because they play stoopid interior defense based ball.
which i spoke on previously and they have still yet to find a real big.

seguine is a euro power stretch four.
he is not a five at all. he is not tall enough.
wood is a power three,...he is not a pf at all.
plus lacks the physical dexterity to play pf.

what do the rockets typically do,

start theis undersized...get destroyed in mini game around high percentage basketball in the interior.
rely on being a jump shooting perimeter team and lose.

that is the problem with the rockets.

it is not the back court of porter green or wood.

it is the failure of coaching to understand simple high iq bball and implement a scope and lineup behind those concepts.



art barr

oh you mad....
you never actually quoted my post in real time frfr.

so i can play the whole smilie game thing with you.
my smilie is smirking because you made a whole false narrative.
when you can hit the quote button and you still have never because you can not counter any thing i post with facts in real time ever.
oh and we waiting on yo selective pic'n ass to where you been tag'd at.

oh you scared tho...

as you know you gon catch another table for that.
plus you catching a table.
for the nuggets fake fan c00n take over cp3.
for the center on my team too.


art barr

just the fact you have a hard time decyphering simple descriptive verbiage.
i find fukk'n funny.
yet you wonder why you not countering anything i said tho.
you selectively skim and highlight points...you want.
while never reading full passages.
you have no counter points ever.
you never countered a point.
you just made gooflame statements and misused the bold button.

that is why nikkaz on here have you as a laughing stock.
as you so far from thorough.
you will go so far as to quote the only thing you read.
when it is verbiage in the same passage to dispel what you are even trying to make a failed mockery of.
you like a wack emcee who think he gon guess the rhyme of ju and get served.

yousa fukk'n goofie.

no wonder nikkaz lol at you in the refugee sports forum.

you post poorly in sports just like the main reason we are here you failed at.


now prove me wrong....
in real time too tho.
not after the news cycle has passed and you wanna showcase you have no real life younger than me.
on new year's trying to talk to a real retired headliner.

when you lame as fukk and will never leave the house.
to do a damn thing grassroots a day in yo life.


art barr

Wrong stupid. I co-signed him calling you a coward (which you are), I co-signed him highlighting that you run and hide when you are wrong (You do), I co-signed him highlighting how you wait until a situation lineups for you then you up a thread (Which you do), I co-signed him when he said you’re very disliked on the board (You are), etc.

You walk around always seeking validation for your position like a fukking unloved, belligerent, low self worth having retard and that’s what I co-signed.

You make me fukking sick


Just to clown you even further.

You fukk'n goofie.


You down three in the nba loss column to just me.

so you mean you have not seen the games tho?
Do you watch games or just check stats.
Jalen green and porter together = best backcourt cohesive fluid visual so far this season.
green and porter are must see as far as all the games that took place so far this season.

art barr
WRONG.

You even digging that hole further by quoting other folks' posts that are irrelevant to the subject matter. That's how I know that you know that I know you lost.

:hubie:
