I’m not even a bball expert but I can see the upside in Josh Christopher. I been watching bball since 1985 and I can use my own eyes and know what I’m seeing. Josh tries on defense, hella athletic, and cares about getting better. I never understood not playing him. But this is what losing organizations do…
I absolutely despise this Robert Land guy. Dude is a sadist. I only watch when Frank is on.
No way you guys are saying throw Jabari in at the 5 lol. Long term, he is closer to a SF then a Center.
Frank you went off the rails with the Jabari "small ball 5"…that ain't going to work.
It's clearly the coaching. And just like we say Lovie Smith defense wasn't helping Derek Stingley as a player. I say the same thing about Stephen Silas with Jalen Green. You're not going to win games playing a 2-3 Zone trap. Rockets need man-to-man press full court defense and guarding the perimeter. Scoring 40 points I'm not mad at that because you going to have to score points to win the game. Rockets really need to clean house a new head coach and a new GM
Rockets have already played Jarbari at the 5 and he can match up well with a number of other centers. Even though he is skinny he is 6'11 and can rebound and block shots.
Actually a good show I enjoyed it!
Good point by Robert – The early parts of the Morey Era were basically staying mediocre and having good role players. And then we got Harden and became a contender. That's basically what the Nets are going to have to do. They have no incentive to tear it down.
