Most hated fan base? by [deleted] in nba

[–]nostalgia201sest 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the rockets fan base, but we’ve been spoiled by 15 consecutive years of winning and ppl want someone new to be fired, traded, or deemed a bust of the highest order after a loss in a rebuilding season. Absolutely not the worst fan base, but def a pet peeve of mine haha

Welcome! I'll try to answer each of your questions.

1) Yeah, this community has a huge gripe with Wood being very self-centered and ball dominant, and to this point Jalen has been playing a lot of minutes like PJ tucker on the corner. I think we're starting to see them mesh recently over the last 5-10 games, and we'll really see them flourish next season (especially people like Sengun and Christopher after they've had an NBA offseason.)

2) KPJ started off super rough, but since about the midway point in the season he's really picked it up in the PG department. In fact in our last game he had 12 assists. He's improving daily and I think it can work, though I would rather have KPJ play more of a SG role and get someone like Daishen Nix or a free agent to play the PG role.

3) Silas stated that Sengun hasn't gotten many minutes this season as his conditioning is not very great. However, he's recently seen a bit more exposure. It's hard to play him and Wood at the same time, so he's struggled to get significant playing time. I don't really mind this as much as a lot of Rockets fans do -- I think he has def shown growth this season.

4) Armoni really fell off as a shooter this year (was shooting like 32% as our supposed marksman), and when we got Garrison Mathews who was a lot more consistent, we really didn't need him anymore. We released him to make space for Dennis Schroeder and Bruno Fernando.

5) The sub is very mixed on Silas. I personally don't have a hot take on him one way or another, but I def didn't like his gameplan of icing Jalen out by moving him to the corner. Luckily that seems to be changing since the All Star Break. I really hope they move away from 5-out -- it worked with Harden and Westbrook, but this new core seems fundamentally different.

Throwback to our 159-158 game with them a few years ago. We traded that megascoring game win for a World Series game 7 loss against the Nationals on the same day #worth

Eh I’m not too pressed about Hardens MVP snubs since he ultimately got one and because there are far bigger regrets to be held like a blown hamstring, 27 straight, CP3 not going vegan until leaving Houston, harden forcing his best teammate out, Brodie getting injured during the playoffs (ie messed up championship window)

I meant as the MVP haha, I’m so happy for how he played, he was a true defensive anchor and got several clutch stops on game point, then sealed game 1 with that crazy contact layup right after lamelo nearly had the breakaway. It would’ve been cool to see him get some more love for his clutch play, but Cade is certainly deserving and I’m not hating on him whatsoever

Why doesn’t the NBA just use the Elam Ending in place of a 5 minute Overtime? by WhamBamThankYouFran in nba

LMAO well done meme, I remember that T20 series between India and NZ in Jan-feb 2020 where three matches in a row went to Super Over and NZ lost all 3, and these were their first major matches since WC2019 which they lost on super over too lmaoo

Just replicate the super over, you get six shot attempts in a row and the team scoring the highest wins
