  1. Who can't shoot but apparently has very good defensive advanced stats.
  2. There is still plenty of time for moves to be made. I don't think the Rockets will be able to pull off a complete salary dump of Anderson but there are guys out there (Batum, Hardaway Jr, Fournier, Deing) with contracts a year longer than Anderson's whose teams might want to get rid of them.
  3. This hurts but it does seem like Gary Clark is a ready made 9th man on an NBA roster so I'm hoping Mbah a Moute can just step into a starting role and Clark could move into that spot on the bench if the Rockets aren't able to replace Ariza elsewhere.
  4. Bazemore's contract is the same length as Anderson, so I just don't see why the Hawks would do it. Since Batum has an extra year and Charlotte loves big white guys, it seems like a Batum for Anderson trade would be perfect.
  5. Harden was horrible from 3 against the Warriors but no matter how much people want to hate him, he was still very easily the Rockets best player against Golden State.
  6. Which is why he's getting into shape for next season... It's like he realizes that he needs to be in better shape because of how last season went and now he's trying to improve that weakness.
  7. What does that even mean? Seems like it would make sense for a guy to focus on getting into better shape specifically because he had an underwhelming season that tailed off towards the end. If he retired from basketball, maybe then it would be too little too late but it seems like he's trying to improve for next season.
  8. Yeah... that's not accurate at all. Players drafted from high school were pretty successful in general. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NBA_high_school_draftees#List
  9. I really liked Seveneves. It's probably my favorite book I've read (for the first time) over the last few years. That said, parts one and two were great while I think part three was only good.
  10. No one is going to just take the Ryan Anderson contract for nothing, but seems like the Rockets could try to flip it for an even worse contract but still useful player like Nic Batum. Nerlens Noel would be really smart to take a one year deal to play defense and catch lobs as Capela's backup to try to get a big deal the next year. Luc, Ariza, and Green should all be brought back.
  11. How is an elite defensive combo guard who shoots 40% from 3 anything like Kawhi coming out of college?
  12. This series is at least going 6 games no matter what happens. If Capela/Gordon have a larger impact than Draymond/Klay, the Rockets will win in 6 or 7. The Rockets will keep switching everything on defense but I would expect Harden to start on Draymond a decent amount of the time while Tucker, Ariza, and Mbah a Moute take turns guarding Durant.
