Just one great game. I want us to kill it during this 4 game homestand.

Yep we still need wing help pretty badly.
Watching TJ Warren right now, surely he could be expendable? Jackson is the future at 3 for them.
Honestly we are one above average/star wing from properly contending -

But look if PHX trade him for Solo and our 1st I'd have to consider it. -

It was one just 1 game but it was a glimpse of what’s to come. Go Pels! Great win

Anytime the Rockets lose its a good thing. Harden and CP3 are probably 1 and 2 in the league for flopping. It's a super annoying style of basketball. Only team I hope gets curb stomped more is GSW.
I know it's just 1 win but I think it's more important than Gentry and others are letting on. There were question marks all off season with this team, question marks that the pre season did nothing to eliminate. Winning in dominate fashion against the Rockets in an away game on national TV shows this team can hang with the big teams in the West. It showed this style and group of players can work, and we have to think there is still a ton of growing room to go. If we click and continue to gel I think we will be a top 3 seed. -

So you are probably talking about a James Ennis/Demarre Carroll type and not an Otto Porter or Khris Middleton type. Unless that is you flip one of Mirotic/Randle on the back of stellar play and the expectation the new team can retain them.
Can a James Ennis or Demarre Carroll level player get us into contention status? If AD's surrounding cast continues to play at even 85% of last night, I think the answer is actually yes. -
10-18-2018, 08:53 AMPELICANSFANShooting the 3 does not define whether a player is a SF. He has always been a SF. Not sure if he is a fit or not.Quote:

I tried to watch for this, but did anyone notice if we played AD, Randle, and Niko together last night?

I too have felt a solid 3 was a badly missing piece. After last night, not so sure. We have Miller, Wes, SOLO, Williams and Bluitt and guess what, we are still going to start Moore there. Not to mention the AD, MIR, and Randall experiment coming soon.

10-18-2018, 10:38 AM6warddudethose 3 were the front court rotation at the 4 and 5...Quote:

10-18-2018, 10:59 AMTaker597I believe we did and we was bully ball with Rockets going small..Quote:

Warren is the guy I want cause he could possibly be had without giving up too much of our core since he isn’t starting & Jackson is their 3 going forward even though neither started last night cause of ArizaQuote:

The Rockets looked old and tired last night. I wonder if the age is starting to show from their roster.

For those of you who think that TJ Warren is a major upgrade over Solomon Hill.
http://www.espn.com/nba/statistics/r...e/2/position/5
See player 62 and then 63.
Yes. I’d prefer Warren for his Salary over Hill’s but I’d rather bet on Dell getting a real player in Feb.
