I dont think ive ever seen Bertans hit a three

this dude is averaging 4 points :pachaha: as a wizards fan im loving it. Bruh used to get cooked on defense. Once this guy got his contract he mailed it in. He's such an amazing shooter yet goes on these ridiculous long slumps. Knew it was over for him after he argued with Deni on a play where he caught the ball heading away from the rim on a curl and shot a contested three while an easy pass was there to be made for him.

In Bertans defense (no pun intended), he was a one year wonder with cooked knees that should have never got even close to the hilarious part about it. The funniest part about it is that the Wizards actually found a team dumb enough to take that contract off their hands.

It’s amazing how Philly used to catch so much heat and even OKC during the offseason caught so much heat…yet the Rockets are on their way to having the worst record in the league 3 years in a row and it’s like no one cares
:patrice:

Philly was blatant with the process tho. How many years did they red-shirt a lottery pick? Houston just sucks. They aren't holding guys out (John Wall yes, but he's not the same guy anymore)

I feel bad for Silas but they need a coach that can get through to those players.

Yup. Way too lenient. There's a balance.

They're young so you don't want to kill anyone's confidence, but you need to be stern and hold them accountable when they messing up.

That's how you learn and get better.

15/17 players on the roster are on rookie deals or less than 4 years experience.

They are all learning on the job.

That's another issue, you need vets and one of the only vets they got is checked out.



In the right scheme/environment, Green/Sengun/Jabari/Tari is a good group of players.

Tari got so many intangibles, but no vet is cultivating him on how to use them.

At least they're all still young (19-20) but you got to get to them right now or you're gonna have to blow it up.

That’s valid but it’s just the idea. Folks cried about Philly so much that Adam Silver had to step in and perform a coup :dead:

Rockets are in year 3 of their rebuild, are playing all of their guys and still making basically no progress. As bad as Philly was they were never the worst team in the league every year
