Thanks guys
Been said Ime a mad scientist. Dude is brilliant. Stone was forced to do things his way. Stone not a basketball guy, stone a numbers guy.
What i don't like is , people talking about jalen-Sengun play somehow. It is not visible how the team plays together every piece included right? that is because Ime didn't give any idea to us nearly. To me Ime needs to work hard thinking bot sides of the game.
Dalton Knecht is that JJ Redick movement shooter we need
Amen ain't coming off the bench
I don’t think bari could be the jj reddick movement shooter. For me he would fit best in the KD okc days actions of pin downs from the dunker spot into a curl at the elbow.
Cam whitmore however I think could become the movement shooter we needed this year. A big part of why Steph is so effective in off ball movement actions is because he’s great at back cutting the actions for layups. If cam could learn to process the actions at a high level, I think he could fit that mold perfectly
Great pod guys. Glad to hear you guys are back on schedule. missed listening to you guys. I totally agree with both your assessments of the Stone/Udoka press conference. I too was even more impressed with Udoka after listening to him and his plan of attack for the season and how what we saw from the team paralled that plan. I think the injuries we suffed this year will actually benifit us next year. they allowed us to see developement from more players. Ime's rotation would have been much tighter if not for the injuries. I think the narrative has changed around the team chasing a star because they realized they may already have a star if they just allow developement to run it's course. I expect largely the same team next year to win 50 games if we continue to move forward. With the guidance of Ime I expect jumps from several players next year . I think the Rockets are doing the right thing by staying the present course. As for Stone….. sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. he has benifited from some degree of luck but he is the one who drafted this gruop and must be given credit for that. I don't really trust him, but I do trust Udoka and that gives me some degree of confidense in direction of the team
I still think it’s best to move Sengun to get back pieces we need. Alternatively we keep Sengun just bring in more pieces behind him because he can’t play different styles… 2 man game only holds true if you have a center who can do more than just roll … The rockets problem will be similar to the kings problem. Like Sengun, Sabonis is great on offense but is it needed compared to what is needed from him on the defensive end… Again, take Chet and put him on the kings with fox , top seed, put Sabonis or Sengun on the Thunder, SGA won’t be the same
Yall better be ready to say welcome to Jaylen Brown. We changing the lights.
Add a veteran shooter and rim protector. We can't rely on Steven Adams to stay healthy.
If Sengun and Jalen turn into all stars we are set. I still think we need that stud top 15 player to be a contender.
If this team gonna make playoffs next season gotta stop messin around n level up on the road, cuz we were complete trash
