Well Reddicks gotta open it up a little bit but he won’t. I’d mix some Thiero in there. At times LeBron plays drunk meaning he just carelessly dribbles that ball.

this is the game where you need Luka we have Luka we close it out.

next game Houston will get a little tight on their shots. And I hope we establish the post more. I dont see Durant playing anymore in this series like I said.

But we gotta get back to the ball movement. Some Bronny

and Lebron has to establish himself go at them. More of Reaves.

Basketball is adjustments. And Udoka made his. And now it’s time for Reddick to make his.

 

okc laughing at how mediocre the lakers and rockets are

 

so...about that running it back...

 

They still should, it's pretty obvious to me, that the way they are being used ,is more of the problem. If Luka and Austin were healthy, we'd still be running Luka iso, Austin iso, and every one else, get in where they fit in. That's not going to be successful IMO.

I'm leaning more towards it's not Rob, it's JJ now. However Rob did hire JJ.

 

jj outcoached udoka for games 1 and 2 and got the drop on him with vastly inferior talent. if it weren't for the rockets peeing themselves in game 3, we'd be getting closed out by the favored team in one more game than most expected.

the coach can't make open threes or not throw the ball to the other team.

 

Meh..Houston doesn't have vastly superior talent dude;that's cap. .we have enough talented players.

A coach can run different sets, change up defensive looks, determine who plays and when, and what strategy to employ. They arent being paid millions of dollars, to simply watch the games. We are going to close em out in 6. That's not some kind of failure. JJ needs to tighten up some s***, I expect him to do so.

 

Agreed. Granted, I was always one of the people more in favor of using the incoming free cap space to make a more significant roster overhaul over mostly running it back.

 

It's too early to tell either way which direction we go in the off-season. Could a player really loose 38% of his projected annual salary in two games? Feels like that's what Kennard is doing. He might be going from a full MLE to a Room exception. Smart could be going back to 12 million. Lebron might be closer to 15 than 20. Ayton might actually opt out? That opens up some money. We could end up with 20-30 million to work with.

 

All I know from reading this from is Austin is "HIM" and deserves max money.
