Always pretty astounding to see a 7'3 player have that much fluidity and touch. We won't have the option of bottoming out much longer, which brings me to the next bit of news...Apparently Houston has re-engaged the Knicks on the Melo front but it doesn't sound like they've found any solutions for the Ryan Anderson albatross :shaq2:. If they can't move Anderson, the whole "Perry wants Houston to eat Noah's contract" rumor kinda sorta makes sense but not really imo because the salary totals would be so damned high. Just a ridiculous amount of cap in 2 contracts.



The sources on the Rockets side said Perry initially wanted Morey to unload Noah's contract to a separate team, not for the Rockets to take him.:manny:


Haven't heard anything new other than Jazz interest in Anderson (I put in here previously).

Hold up seems to be the players/picks that the third team would have to give up.

Will keep my ears open but most leaks have come from your end so far:yeshrug:

That tweet had been circulating ClutchFans for 2 days before then lol

Who woulda thought, running pick and rolls or pick and pops with KP every time down is generally a successful offense...granted the competition isn't good, but every time he sets a screen and steps to the elbow it's as close to effortless looks as an offensive focal point could ask for. Dude is getting free looks from the elbow and top of the key all game so far. Once he sits, the struggle is real!

24 points (9/20) 12 rebs 2 steals 2 blocks in 27 minutes. +21 for those who like that ish.

The good:
- KP is getting a ton of practice being the screen man and the offense looked much more fluid running through his screen play.
- No fear shooting from him, hopefully he has the same aggressiveness with better teammates.
- Interior presence all night, coulda had more help blocks if there weren't foul calls on the main defenders.
- Made some heady kickouts to open men, but no one converted. Still good to see his head is up and on a swivel.
- Dude barely had to dribble but in one sequence he couldn't establish low post position, so he ran out to receive the ball. He turned, faced up and hit a hard cross-over to get himself to that deep post spot then proceeded to post his man up, bait the man in the air with a pump fake and sunk the close up shot off the glass. Great sequence all around. He showed ball handling, post play and soft touch to boot (his touch around the rack was strong all game).

The Bad:
- 4/8 from Ft line.
- 1/7 from the three point line.
- Was gangbusters early but his jumper got less consistent with fatigue, though he did turn in a massively clutch (both ends) last two mins when the game tied up.
- Not an insult to him, but he was getting so many easy looks that he rarely had to flash the depths of his game. So not a knock, but I wish he had more situations to get creative like the above post-up.
