    Are we talking about Faried to see if @NowThis has a new account?

    They can't shoot or switch on defense so they aren't going to play.

    If Harden goes for the layup/dunk, that shit gets swatted by Embiid or Giannis. He could have taken a baseline 15 footer right after the catch or continued going to the basket for a baseline floater. When is the last time you've seen him take either of those shots in a game? Kicking it to the corner was a significantly better decision that challenging those guys at the rim. And his pass to the corner worked out. Defense had to scramble and gets stuck with Lowry trying to guard AD in the post which wins the game. Also, Bill Simmons dumbass trying to paint this as Harden choking or being scared to take a big shot is funny when Harden took and made what would have been the game winner before it was called off by a very late offensive foul call.

    How many calls have there been in the last few minutes? Kinda hurts a lot of the entertainment factor with the endless whistles.

    So the 44 inch vertical at the combine was fake? I don't expect him to be great in the dunk contest, but he doesn't have a 32 inch vertical.

    Acquiring Schröder who might be the favorite for 6th man of the year right now for Melo is a bad thing?

    The same Jordan Bell who could barely even get on the court for a terrible Minnesota team should start for the Rockets? He did seem like a perfect fit for the Rockets coming out of college, but uh, that's not something he's actually lived up to.

    Trading Capela and a first round pick to get Covington is awful.
  9. goatsaag
    Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez, Marc Gasol, and Jarrett Allen are not close to being better than Capela. No. If two players do things at a relatively similar rate but one is doing it in 15 more minutes per game, they are not statistically equivalent.
  10. goatsaag
    So which 15 centers are better than Capela?
  11. goatsaag
    I'm very curious to hear what 15 centers you think are better than Capela. He's a good center and when he's healthy, he's exactly what the Rockets need for 30 minutes or so a game from the center position. He's also on a contract that pays him essentially what he is worth.

    Harden starting to look like himself again for the past two games is encouraging. D'Antoni clearly just isn't going to play Hartenstein, so need to a move or two to bring in some kind of size that he'll actually play.

    If you are walking around with headphones on/in and people try to talk to you anyway, you'd consider that rude/annoying, right? They should signal "don't talk to me right now". So when in a situation where you are expecting other people to interact with you (like ordering coffee), take the AirPods out. Seems pretty simple.

    "The Process" was done when Hinkie got fired. The way other people have tried to build teams around Embiid/Simmons shouldn't really be relevant. But since Hinkie was fired before really having a shot at completing the process, probably seems reasonable to say he failed.

    Free throws for loose ball fouls that happen going for rebounds on the opposite end of the court are dumb.
  16. goatsaag
    You mean like the one 5 days ago after the Portland loss?
  17. goatsaag
    You watching the games? Harden was 1-14 from 3 going into the 4th quarter. The Rockets were up 16. His shooting was trash but it wasn't what lost the game. And Harden was 8-12 in the paint and had 6 assists. He is getting in the paint and trying to setup his teammates. The problem (as mentioned in the quoted post) is the defense. Giving up 41 points in the 4th is what lost this game.

    The main problem with the Rockets right now is defensive effort and not having enough people who are actually making 3s. Tucker, House, and Rivers all have zero confidence right now. Through November, Tucker and House were both around 45% shooting 3s but have dropped to right around 30% for the rest of the season. Add in Harden's recent struggles and the team has really been shit since the first quarter against the Hawks. Gary Clark getting waived the day before that Hawks game to get in position to avoid the luxury tax didn't exactly help things either. I do think the roster as currently constructed can with the championship this year, but not how they are currently playing. Keep playing like this and it's a first round loss that isn't an upset because the Rockets will be the 6-7 seed. Would like to see a trade to bring in a big wing that can shoot (what team wouldn't?) but the Rockets have basically no salaries to match with.

    If anything it seems like they would go to 155, 165, and 175.

    The correct choice at Trudy's for getting fucked up was the Cuban martini with 151 for the same price as house.

    I'm confused by the idea that McBride is going to "fight the status quo". He's the former teammate of Stewart and Berhalter, is being hired by the current leadership, and has basically no experience in a similar role to indicate he's going to do something different.
  22. goatsaag
    The 3s are the better shots the offense is working to create. Just have to make them. I'm much more concerned about the very sloppy play in the 2nd quarter that let it be a 15 point game at the half instead of a lead of 30+. That's what can't happen in the playoffs, but it's a random regular season game against Atlanta so doesn't really matter right now.

    Clock management here was so bad. Vikings playing super soft on the outside and the Saints keep throwing 5-7 yard routes over the middle instead of just taking the same yardage with an easy out of bounds. Then with 33 seconds left, just call the timeout. Instead they waste 12 seconds to snap and lose another 10 to the penalty.

    To me, it felt like they were completely dismissing the new character introduced in TLJ as being irrelevant. I agree that Chewy should have actually died (and there were a bunch of other issues with this movie). It was just way better for me than TLJ and about as good as I could have hoped for after TLJ.

    Poe and Finn were leaving the main base to go somewhere near the start of the movie. Finn asked Rose to come along and gave her one last chance. She made a comment about Leia needing her there instead and then she had very little involvement in the rest of the movie.
