In fairness to the Rockets they are lowkey a first round exit kinda team, they have no shooting so you play to bigs and stack the paint , blitz Kd everytime whiles having the other big guard Amen.

In the regular season they will win but come playoffs its going to be rough for them and im surprised of their inactivity at the trade deadline because Reed Sheppard is not going to shoot like Curry throughout a 7 game series.

It’s crazy how long Reed’s slump has been when he was literally drafted to hit 3s, not sure why it’s not being talked about more.

NbaAllDAYger | Mavericks

11 | 4 hours ago

Reed isnt even the issue its normal to have a slump, the main issue is expecting him to be some sort of constant variable for a team which is expected to go deep in the playoffs is just insane.

Sengun is playing hurt and you can see that on his efficiency, Jabari and Tari are inconsistant to say the least and Amen just like his brother is a major problem for the offense.

Getting beat today by a bunch of role players doesnt also speak well for Ime who only knows how to coach “hard” .

So yeah there is alone goin on in Houston but nobdoy talks about it because its been masked by their ability to out- athlete their opponents or Kd been a god on offense whiles 3 players defend him…

dankq | Rockets

2 | 4 hours ago

The slump is whatever in the long run, I’m just curious to how no one is talking about how bad of a slump he’s been on as someone who was solely drafted to hit 3s but a lot of other players get railed it. His defense is actually the glaring issue but I agree expecting him to be a constant variable is insane at this point of his career. The problem is that is exactly what management is expecting of him.

Yep Sengun is absolutely playing injured still, believe he said himself his ankle wont be feeling good for a while so I understand why he’s having issues on some nights. It looks like he can barely even dunk.

Agree on the Ime take, I’ve been complaining about him since last playoffs. His rotations are awful and he thinks defense/rebounds will win everything while not believing in spacing. You can legit hear him during games on the court microphones and his style of offensive coaching consists of “GET OPEN (players name)” 20 times. He might be a good defensive coach but his offensive mind and his staff of yes-men are awful at offensive adjustments and development. I don’t think he should be a head coach in the NBA, he should just be running a defense.

4-1 without Jaylen Brown.

Pritchard in those games: 26.4 points, 8.2 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 50.5%/48.8% shooting.

Man, Pritchard has really stepped up and played like an all-nba talent in games that Brown has missed. Those included a 45 point blowout, a 16 point blowout, and a 19 point blowout, a 21 point blowout, with their only loss being by 2 points. That’s projects to 66 wins.

If I were Pritchard, I’d probably say something like “I’ve sacrificed over the years for us to be a championship-caliber team. Now we’re seeing what I was sacrificing. Being at the helm, and us being on a 66 win pace, versus last year we only won 61 games. It’s almost been no drop off with five players + Jaylen Brown that are essentially gone”

Yeah this article got him on my radar, he’s done a really good job, and they share a lot of the same identity on offense - never shoot at the rim or take any free throws, crash the glass hard on offense, and shoot a lot of 3s. Last one is more a Celtics thing, but still very similar.

Do think we need a larger sample with Ott though, whereas this is now Joe’s 4th year as a coach and he’s going to win 50+ games with a roster nobody thought had a prayer’s chance of doing so.

Drop against Steph kinda worked to be honest. He went nuclear, but the rest of the Warriors never really took off. They stayed between 100 and 110 that entire series, which should be enough to give you a chance. We lost that finals on the offensive end.

Rego913 | Celtics

9 | 4 hours ago

I don’t like Ime but this is true, there should’ve been more of Smart bringing up the ball at the time to set up the Jays because neither of them were good at initiating offense at the time and it was frustrating putting them (especially Tatum) in losing situations like that.

PP off the bench makes me think Vic starts. To my eye as a fan, I’d think Vuc playing more min with the Jays to open the paint and then Neemius with PP and Hauser more makes more sense. But who starts really doesn’t matter because they will just stagger mins.

shortpersonohara | Celtics

5 | 4 hours ago

I don’t think so either. I think we know see two of Hauser, Scheierman, Walsh, or Hugo start alongside dwhite, JB, and Queta. If JT comes back I see the argument for starting Vuc but his defense is kinda bad if we don’t have a 6’10 do it all forward out there

Vuc should be great in a Tatum + bench line up. JT can guard the 5 and put Vuc on the worst shooter.

The_Vaike | Celtics

I think there’s a universe where he starts them both for a handful of games. It’s a bit scuffed, but if it works then he can run White/Brown/Tatum/Vuc/Queta. That’s a ton of size without totally decimating passing and shooting.

I wanted Ron Harper on the Celtics 3 years ago, and was upset when he signed with the Raptors as a UDFA. I called it though and couldn’t be happier for him. He’s been absolutely balling for Maine. He’s grinded a lot to get to this spot.

he could be the guy who snags a guaranteed contract at the end of the year for the last roster spot. We need a guard

He handles the ball a lot for Maine but I think he projects best as a shooting wing in the NBA. I don’t know if he will fit the need for a ball handler that Boston wants if a guy like Pritchard or White goes down, but more of someone who can also play the same role Schiereman and Hauser play.

Efficient_Art_1144 | Celtics

Small sample size but he looked like he belonged today

Kyler1313

Yeah he’s been one of the best scorers in the G-League this year scoring over 25 points a game shooting 39% from 3 on a tough shot diet.

He’s not much of a playmaker (3.5 ast/2.7 tov), but his scoring (mostly shooting) has reached a level where I think he can be a valuable future rotational guy. His biggest change the last couple years is he’s changed his body and gotten more lean which has really helped his defense. I don’t know if he will ever be a wonderful defender (looked good tonight), but if he’s a neutral defender and a plus shooter that’s a NBA rotational wing.

Fucking embarrassing.

ASB rest won’t fix the fundamental issues on this team. Coby White or whatever other guard won’t either. We keep having losses like this and questions need to be asked. Players, coaching, roster construction, all of it.

Rough night when the only positive is Isaiah Crawford looking good in garbage time.

Edit:

20th in Drives/Game

21st in Catch-And-Shoot 3PAs

29th in Pull-Up 3PAs

19th in Passes / Game

26th in 2P% while 1st in 2PA

0.89 PPP on ISOs

0.89 PPP on PnRs

0.98 PPP on Post-Ups

But it’s okay, because if we spam shots with OREBs then that can make up for everything.

Oh, except there’s no FVV for TO control and no Stevo for OREBs, and they’ll be coming off injuries on the wrong side of 30 next season. Lovely.

Never does. Teams still somehow constantly fall apart around him.

I legitimately don’t think he’s doing that I can point out as obviously wrong either. It’s just clearly a pattern now

MemorableCactus | Celtics

7 | 4 hours ago

In the past I think the amount of resources teams had to give up to acquire him via trade nuked their depth and their ability to acquire new depth.

These days I just think he makes too much money for the player he currently is. He’s not as good of a defender as he once was (and he was never really an elite defender), and while he can still get to his spots and put up points, he just doesn’t bring that much outside of scoring these days.

Connect-Pressure3336 | Suns

Being a pure scorer just isnt as valuable as it once was.

Connect-Pressure3336 | Suns

6 | 3 hours ago

He’s viewed as an elite player when he’s really just an elite scorer. The thing is, the elite players nowadays arent just elite scorers anymore, they also create offense for others. They can bring the ball up the court consistently without getting trapped or pickpocketed. They can consistently create pressure in the paint. KD cant do any of these things. He just makes tough buckets.

Also, off ball, KD should be moving around and creating massive gravity, but he usually just stands at the 45. Like is he just lazy? Does he want to save his cardio for the end of the game? I truly dont get it. Every good team in the league right now is fast paced, and he refuses to be a part of it.

Also, my guess is Ime gets fired this off-season, just like every coach KDs had for the past 6 seasons. And it also wouldnt surprise me if he puts his nose in the roster construction and they make a bunch of trades that look terrible in hindsight.

sammymate999 | Rockets

Truthfully, all you need is a capable pg and a shooter. That’s just FVV.

sammymate999 | Rockets

Adams just helped hide how bad of an offensive team we were because we’d just continually brick shots and he’d somehow grab the board, not a sustainable way to play though.

Not to be rude, but that’s exactly why I loved him so much there - he’s a perfect way to sneak in extra possessions

There’s going to be a large market correction on players like Sengun.

You can’t have a player with his archetype being so heavily relied upon if the goal is a championship. It’s literally Jokic or bust with that style of player.

a_moniker | Hornets

Jokic fooled people. It’s the same issue the Kings have with Sabonis. The Center needs to be able to defend or literally has to be a top-5 Center all time
