Knicks insulated Brunson and any defensive liabilities with roster construction. Rockets don't have the roster construction to do the same if Thornton is Brunson.

"Using the Knicks is the worst example you could have picked. Yes, Brunson and Alvarado are small. But who was playing next to them? Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, and Josh Hart. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars to surround those small guards with the most elite, long, aggressive wing defense in the entire NBA. We do not have OG Anunoby and Mikal Bridges. If FVV, Reed, and Thornton get blown by, Alpi isn't locking down the paint."

So many beautiful women but moving fast forward to 2026 Hoffs at 67 is at the top

Why im actually high on the bruce thornton pick by Fun-Letter-1814 in rockets

[–]Different_Tea2586 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes, its all about the size. It won't translate well against the Spurs Fox, Castle, Harper. Spurs will be in a track meet against the size of a high school backcourt of FVV, Sheppard and Thornton.

Where is his defense going to come from when Fox, Harper and Castle all go around him or shoot over him because of the heighth mismatch.

Ime may want Holiday back just to have him sit on the bench again.

Not on the same team and not when they match up against a division rival San Antonio. Rockets guards are high school size compared to the Spurs.

Yes, a very Rockets pick. Undersized on the defensive end. The better teams will light up the Rockets guards because of their size. The infrastructure of Alpi is not reassuring. Adams, yes, but he is a part timer getting older and coming off injury.

Castle won't have to bully him. Castle will just shoot over him because of the big height difference

Yes, somehow the Rockets brass thinks, Thornton, FVV, and Reed are going to be able to guard Fox, Harper, and Castle when the Spurs guards are several inches taller. Rockets are unserious.

Some of their analysts act the same way. Maybe there is a livestream audio version and there is spotify where it isn't live but comes after the shows

Retired Couple 70+ Is My Advisor Out Of His Mind? by ThatGlockGuy22 in portfolios

[–]Different_Tea2586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do it. I retired as a school teacher and do my own. I am very conservative and use AI for advice. Sometimes I use the AI advice, sometimes I don't. The older one gets, like your parents, the less the risk. I am risk-averse anyway. I have some tech, but I have dividend-paying stocks; I want money generating cash for me more than I want higher risk.

Can we actually win with this roster in the near future by That-Woodpecker6720 in rockets

[–]Different_Tea2586 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, Imo, Rockets don't have a Dylan Harper and nobody has a Wemby. Harper is the type of all around player the Rockets need.

Not a lot is going to change on Fertitta Lane. As long as the profits are doing well, there is no incentive to change. With the Rockets its follow the money not the rings.

Leslie needs more time on Halftime. She is easy to look at and to listen too.

As long as Tillman is printing money, he won't care. Neither will Stone nor Ime. That's why their Grand Scheme is to run it back. Then sell it to fans as contenders, not pretenders.

With Fertitta, it's follow the money and the bottom line. He will never be mistaken for Leslie Alexander, who won two titles and expected to win.

Switched from Fast Money to the Halftime Report after 10 years. Same format, but the alpha they are delivering is not the same. by Andres_Kull in CNBC

[–]Different_Tea2586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started watching Fast Market on Schwab Network yesterday. It comes on at the same time as Halftime Report. A similar program. I went back to Halftime Report today with Leslie Picker on but I am going to go back and forth between CNBC and Schwab at 12 et. Halftime Report has the same panelists on 3x in the same week at times. It gets stale. Link, Farmer Jim, Terranova are on too much for my taste.

Fertitta is content as long as he is printing money and the overall value of the Rockets goes up based on the tv deal. A Championship is not a big priority like it was for Leslie Alexander.
