Unless Westbrook pulls a miracle and fixes his jumpshot to average..Rockets going nowhere
Their championship aspirations?
Who’s more willing to tolerate DNP’s?it's no damn way Lance Thomas is better than Carmelo....And Melo is willing to play a reserve role or am I tripping?
Rockets best bet is to let Russ handle the ball and James do the shooting but we'll see how it plays out. Who knows if James tryna sacrifice handling the ball. It'll probably come down to them just trading off like he did with CP3 in the first year. They should be fine as long as Russ doesn't shoot much or improves.
Wishful thinking on my partYou mean like how Harden didn't like it after the first year and then CP3 got traded cause you know...it was some obvious issues between him and Harden?
"As long as Russ doesn't shoot much"
Harden has had a few years where he could do whatever he wanted with the ball and got his crazy scoring season in. I bet he wouldn’t mind giving up the ball now if it means they can win more. I think it’s gonna work well. Russ same situation, got post Kd years of crazy individual accoladesRockets best bet is to let Russ handle the ball and James do the shooting but we'll see how it plays out. Who knows if James tryna sacrifice handling the ball. It'll probably come down to them just trading off like he did with CP3 in the first year. They should be fine as long as Russ doesn't shoot much or improves.
You say this like they're not real life friends who already played and were successful together. There's plenty of questions about their functionality together on-court, but they'll both be willing to personally make it work togetherRockets are going to be a mess. Harden has not worked well with any one near his status since he’s been in Houston. Russ has a strong personality. Harden will be crying to Morey behind his back by February
Rockets are really being slept on. 2nd best roster in the league only below the Clippers.
Yall realize this is just a better version of the last 2 rockets teams that played the warriors to 6 and 7 games?
