Be careful with Giannis. Anything can happen with him and he hasn't developed anything that he does best quite yet, which might lead to stagnant progress. Unless you're a Milwaukee fan, I'd not spend too much time thinking about what could be.

In the meantime I'm wondering if the knicks are gonna blow this game
 
Rockets bench is garbage. They aren't going to go far with Garcia

 and Casspi

 as their main scoring options off the bench. They need to get something for Asik before the season is over if they want to make a run in the playoffs.

What ever happened to the Asik Thad Young rumors? Was that ever on the table?

The two worst rim defenders in the NBA (via player tracking) with 5 FGA per game at rim are Kevin Love (58.8%) and Nikola Pekovic (58%)

When our team is 100% healthy our bench isnt that bad at all imo.

Brooks-Lin-Garcia-Casspi-Asik is what it should look like.

This is if Asik starts playing when he heals up and stop acting like a *****

Not to mention Garcia and Casspi have been playing like trash this season

 So it makes our bench look extra weak.

Also about that trade I read some rumors that it was discussed but Morey our GM feared 76ers were going to trade for Asik then flip him at the deadline to a Western Conference team like OKC or Dallas.

Morey made it clear he really didnt want to trade with Western Conference teams.

TJones :hat

They don't need a stretch 4, just keep developing him. He's improved his athleticism a lot since his Kentucky days, with he and Dwight I feel like Houston should be a better defensive team.

Then I remember they have Lin and Harden playing at the guard spots :lol
 
Bruh PJ Tucker is the most underrated defender in the league. He's without a doubt the best man to man defender in the league to me IMO.

I'm thinking we've seen the last of Asik on the court in a Rocket's uniform. 

Casspi and Garcia are too off and on to be reliable scoring options. Some nights they will give you nothing, and with the starter's logging almost 40 mins apiece, it won't cut it in the playoffs.

Yea their bench is made up almost completely of the Kings old trash they didn't want, so what does that tell you LOL!  i freakin hated Garcia, Casspi and Brooks

All of them were initially productive when they got here, but injuries along with McHale's ineptness as far as rotations has messed that up. Not even sure what you're talking about as it seems like once you leave the Kings, you start playing better :lol Remember, the Rockets have been using the Kings as their 2nd development team for awhile now

Yea me too I really dont see Asik playing anymore with us smh. Too bad because if he would just buy in he would make our team MUCH better.

Garcia played great for us last season and throughout the playoffs, im pretty sure thats the Garcia us fans expected but hes been trash so far. Casspi played really good in the preseason but hes been very inconsistent. IMO we really dont need these two guys to be scoring options.. They just need to be able to hit the open three which they have been very inconsistent at. The majority of the scoring off the bench will come from Lin and Brooks when Beverly gets healthy.
 
Not a Rockets fan, but thought I'd give my 2 cents about what I see as possible problems for the team.

Would make the NBA more exciting if the Rockets could get past that Tier 2 Status in the West and become perennial contenders like the Thunder and Spurs.

How'd that work out with Thomas Robinson?

and trust me you will never get anything consistantly positive out of Garcia, Casspi, or Brooks

not sure if you remember we had brooks first. you know, when he was good :lol
 
Anthony Davis' rapid progression is astounding. 20/10 3 blocks and a steal nightly in just his 2nd season, at just 20 years of age.

He's much better than Garnett was at this point. Unbelievable.

Really wish they would've held off on the Jrue & Tyreke acquisitions so they could've gotten 1 more elite prospect in this upcoming draft.

Was just about to bring up the Young King. Early in the season I said he could be prime Minny KG with more shot blocking ability and that he was already better than KG at this age and dudes tried to act like I was crazy.

Y'all gone learn

Also agree about the Reke/Jrue signings more so Reke because Jrue is a solid young pg. I kinda wish they coulda kept Nerlens and tried to pair he and AD together, 18 blocks a game.
