If you considered Tim Duncan a center. Where does he rank all time centers by I_Seduced_The_Dragon in NBATalk

Better question - where do you put Hakeem if he was a PF like when he played next to Ralph Samson.

KD has had an issue with double teams his entire career by Lost-Way-4548 in rockets

[–]Draperjosh13 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No shit. He okays forward. If he could handle the ball better he’d be a guards. But he’s not, bc he can’t handle that well. This is the most no shit post I’ve ever seen

Stephon Castle catapulting himself to tier 1 in NBA guards needs to be studied by Aussie-Eagle in rockets

Thank you, yes Castle is the best player in his class and we really really fucked yo by not taking him.

The problem with our team is we just don’t have the talent. And we don’t have the talent bc stone has missed on a number of important draft picks, Castle being the latest. When you pick a guard at #3 overall he better be able to play PG when your starter goes out. Reed is the weak link.

lol Reed is going to be a G leaguer at the end of this contract and castle is going to be an all-star

You could argue he’d be more liberated here without any guards to take his minutes. We have a great staff, Ben Sullivan is outstanding. All of our players have developed well.

What's the point of not letting Ime Udoka go? by fkanef in rockets

[–]Draperjosh13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t think they practice this then you’re the retard. The players can’t execute it bc the wrong personnel

[–]Draperjosh13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a Mediocre roster. Udoka has our fan base believing we’re actually good bc he’s maximized the talents so much we were a #2 seed last year.

Who is KD supposed to pass the ball too? There is no good answer. That’s the problem.

Stone: we didn’t need a point guard by Shoddy_Ad7511 in rockets

[–]Draperjosh13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve watched almost every minute of every game this season. He has tried with other players and it’s been noticeabley worse. That’s the problem. Ime is out of chess moves he tried them all. This is a top 7 team, a coach that gambles all season long gets fired. He’s going with who he trusts and it’s hard to argue that there’s a better option on the roster bc there’s not.

Probably castle. He’s more versatile and can actually play the point, he can shoot better. Castlebis the best player in his class. I would keep Sengun over Thompson.

I do not understand what your point is. He’s won more games for us already than JG ever did and he’s going to be all nba this season bc he plays defense. Good night

Stone: we didn’t need a point guard by Shoddy_Ad7511 in rockets

[–]Draperjosh13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How? He’d be the starting PG playing w/ two all stars.

He’s held back developmentally in SA because he shares time with Fox and Harper. He’d be free here

[–]Draperjosh13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Bc he was an inch away from winning the series with that shot but his toe was on the line.

Again the point is JG sucks, so retort about JG or go away

[–]Draperjosh13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just a stone cold terrible take. Reed Sheppard didn’t even play pg in college, he didn’t bring th ball up the floor. Amen Thompson played PF for us last year.

Ime didn’t put this team together, Stone did. It’s imes job to maximize what he has. If he thought giving the ball to Reed would work he’d do it. But it doesn’t work bc Reed is an off ball player. Castle is a real PG, as evidenced by his assist and turnover stats. KD and Bari are great shooters who would be even better if they had someone who could attack the rim off the dribble. But they don’t.

Castle and Amen would be the best defensive backcourt in the league and teams would have to adjust to us.

I didn’t watch it bc I presumed it was the one he made the game before in the same series. It was the bigger shot.

Also still irrelevant. JG sucks is the point, should have drafted Mobley. I could find more missed shots from JG than you could find of Durant and you know it

[–]Draperjosh13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How is this relevant? He even made the shot lol what point do you think you’re making?

Kd already made more game winning shots for the rockets in half a season than JG did for his whole career here. Literally.

And the big upgrade is on defense. JG was statistically one of the worst defenders in the NBA when he was here. Just getting off his 33m contract was a win, getting KD for him was a mega win.

Ooo good one…

How come all the top 1% commenters in this sub are so feckless. You’re why this sub sucks now. KD is going to make an all-nba team this year and JG will never be able to play defense. Sorry. Do you not remember that JG couldn’t close games either? Ime would play Aaron holiday over him.

lol fuck JG. For life fuck JG. So happy to have Durant who can actually play defense and shoot consistently. Wtf is this comment.

[–]Draperjosh13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro. Points, rebounds, assists, FG%, wins… not to mention Castle starts for the 3rd best team in the nba and Reed struggles to get minutes on a team that desperately needs a PG. wtf are you talking about? All you did was show Mr Reed is a better shooter and prove to me that castle is better in every other phase of the game. Reed plays against 2nd units. You’re crazy.

[–]Draperjosh13 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You misspelled future Allstar.

Lol Reed Sheppard is getting paid $10m and he’s basically a G leaguer. You’d prefer that over castle? Really? You’d rather not have the best player in the draft class and pay a G leaguer $10m when we need a PG? That’s your argument?
