So, what is helpful? Offering generic post-game comments like Harden and doing literally nothing to fix your problems the very next game yet again??
Bad excuse. Literally every team in the league includes players in public trade talks. Josh Richardson was involved in talks for Butler too, why isn't he playing like sh*t?
His percentages definitely aren’t fun. He should be mad at himself for being terrible for most of the season
Eric needs to learn his role. He's not good enough to be a primary scorer and not good enough of a play maker for others to demand the ball. When he plays within his role he is a super 6th man and role player.
I mean, he is playing within his role. He just isn't shooting as well as he should. I don't think he is over-extending. He is doing what is asked of him. Rockets have 3 shot creators on their roster. Harden, CP and Gordon. Everyone else are stand still shooters. The problem is MDA's system is dependent on 1) people that can create their own shot (we need more of these people) and 2) people need to hit a higher percentage of catch and shoot 3's (we need these people). Rockets blunt force the math with 3pt shooting. Even with mediocre shooters. If they got "good" shooters, we would see this team take off. Morey needs to fill the roster with the right people to fit into MDA's system.
Like it is being addressed in some other threads, the real fun will start with Zion joining. Never mind that it's not a guaranteed thing, as anything above zero% is better. Go in limbo like we're doing equals zero% chance. Tank with purpose and we have a chance.
I believe some guys are tired of just standing around watching Harden and Paul or get the ball with 2 or 3 seconds left. NBA has caught up with this offense and I think we need some new wrinkles in it.
Ariza and Scruberson aren't even in the lineup for PHX. If Morey kept both those guys you would still be complaining saying did we keep Ariza at that price he is too old etc. The team last year was lightning in a bottle it seems and you can see it fizzle out during the playoffs.
Uhhh....I would disagree about the last part, I dont think taking GS to 7 games in the WCF, counts as fizzling out tbh.
Sorry but to me this has to be the biggest crock excuse for any player. You're being paid big bucks to play so it doesn't matter where you're sent to do it...just business for both sides. If I'm being paid millions of dollars, I think I can get my family to adjust! Oh my...
