What’s organized about LeBron coming down pounding the air out of the ball and shooting a three? Rockets style is being run all over the nba. Uptempo, high volume of threes or layups. The mid range game is basically over except for a few here and there. Again even with the best players you have to have some organization on the floor. The rockets have great floor spacing(which is part of the plan) and they attack the drive lanes for a layup or a kick out three. It doesn’t have to be complex to be a offense, sometimes less is more and I think they are doing exactly what they need to be doing to win with harden. That doesn’t mean they can ever win with harden which is what I argue. But it has nothing to do with them picking a different offense like you’re saying.
I think those are almost one in the same. Under Dantoni, with Harden at the heart of your team, I am not sure there's another offense that can be ran. So generally, I agree with you. The Rockets have talent to be contenders, but not to actually win it all

Though many of the same flaws still remain, the Volta mode and general game play seems to be much improved from years prior. It is significantly better than 2K imo. However, I'm tired of people being able to buy their way to a good Ultimate Team.

Or why is tressels vest just now coming in to talk rockets basketball?
I have been following this thread for some time, but had never felt moved to share until I started to hear a lot of talk about Capela in the basketball world and wanted to hear some other opinions

You’re still avoiding my question. Pick up basketball is always a slam it’s unorganized chaos basketball. I say the same stuff when I go to any aau tournament as a high school basketball coach to watch one of my boys play. But unorganized chaos doesn’t take one of the greatest teams ever to game 7, then you say they are better off without cp3 and they are losing more games? So you’re a tad confusing.
Yes, I do not find the Rockets style of basketball to be organized or in any way beneficial for young players to model their game after. Again, they have talented players that have allowed their lack of organization or discipline to be overlooked because they are able to use their style of play very very well with their talent. I can't necessarily give any sort of alternative, but I feel they could be much more successful if they had a more "typical" scheme

As a Dortmund supporter, I am doubly ecstatic to see Reyna making waves already

They took the warriors to the brink more than any other team playing pick up ball? Hmm ok. If cp3 doesn’t get hurt they would have been the only team to take down a fully healthy KD led warriors team. If they were a 8 seed every yea I’d agree.
Hot take: They were better without CP3 because it gave Harden more touches and allowed him to play even more iso ball, rather than having Paul take touches away and not being able to iso as well.

Then how bad do other teams suck to lose to a team that plays nothing but a “pick up” game style? Seems like that would be pretty easy to stop more than not.
Their talent alone is enough to win them enough games to be "good", but this style of play won't compete with teams in the upper echelon. Similar to the Texans or Cowboys situations

So, the Rockets must play unreal basketball.
Pretty much. It resembles that of a pickup game

I'll accept Howard as a stretch, but Lopez and Whiteside are far far better players than Capela.
Whiteside is not having a bounceback year. Last year was very uncharacteristic of him and still he was better than Capela

Drummond, Whiteside, Adams, Howard, Gobert, KAT, Jokic, Embiid, Vucevic, Lopez, are the easy 10. I'd argue Jarrett Allen, Sabonis, and probably still Marc Gasol. If you give me AD and LMA at the 5 spot that's your 15. Statistically, Capela is equivalent to Zubac this year.

This is not the same as arguing all those guys are better fits for this Rockets team than Capela is.
Completely agree. He may be a decent fit for the Rockets, but that doesn't make him a good Center. The Rockets barely even play real basketball

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.
In no order: Davis, Jokic, Gobert, Ayton, KAT, Embiid, Lamarcus, Valanciunas, Brook Lopez, Gasol, Adams, Vucevic, Myles Turner, Drummond, Kristaps, John Collins, Jarrett Allen, and even Dwight Howard (this season) are debateable

that's the dumbest fucking thing i've read on this board.
How so? He is so incredibly limited offensively

While I think he's Top 15 although he has plateaued this year...maybe even slid back a little.
He's perfect for what the Rockets need him to do, but he's just not playing very well this year.
Apparently he wasn't perfect enough for the Rockets lol
-
What are everyone's thoughts on Clint Capela? I don't think he is even a top 15 center in the league
-
I am usually strongly against Kyrgios, but I'd have liked to see him win this one for the Australian people

Garrett and BoB are clearly a cut above kitchens. Clearly. If you don’t think so, you didn’t watch enough browns football this year. I’ll give you Garrett and BoB but Watson is going to win an MVP one day, so he masks some of the incompetence of O’Brien. Garrett had that to a certain extent with Romo later in his career
That's exactly what I was saying lol. I'm a Browns fan so I watched plenty of Browns football unfortunately

As an Everton fan I must say that our performance this weekend was woeful at best, but I do believe there is a bright future ahead of us eventually

like, think about who you're talking to right now. I'm the guy who spent years arguing with this entire board that J'Covan Brown was not as good of a basketball player as his skill stats or scoring totals said he was, for a litany reasons very similar to what you're talking about with Dirk vs Doncic right now. there's more to how good you are as a player than talent or ability to put up numbers. i know that. i understand what every single one of you is saying. and when this started, the entire point was not "Luka has more skills therefore he his already better", it was, "he already has more skills than Dirk ever did." period. end of story. that's the only point i made when this started, and that's all i'm aging now. should never have controversial to begin with.
Well that isn't what you have been saying recently, and he doesn't have better skills. He has different, more exciting skills

you did not approach making a single cogent point, but i believe you that you think you did. also, there is no more sure sign that someone knows fuck all about what they're talking about than resorting to ad hominem theoretical accusations.
You literally argued that Doncic is more dynamic than Dirk and that is exactly what I refuted. Do you think Harden is better than Hakeem?

I'm interested to see what kind of findings are uncovered. From what I know about the accusations, nothing really seems illegal

Idk what their thinking was, but I don't care as long as we get rid of Thompson
