Its sad that mexi doesnt realize a few things when it comes to the rockets
They took the warrios to 7 games BC they were able to switch everything defensively without being exposed
You can say ariza couldt make shots but thats not what got the rockets that far. Defense is what did it
Now, Warriors smell blood. They’ll torture melo every single chance they get
During the regular season it’ll be fine, but in the playoffs, when its all about match ups, RIP
Sad truth but its written on the wall for all of us
1. Dont sleep on ennis and mcw defensively

2. Luc didnt do shit vs gsw. So idk why people even bring him up. Classic "sky is falling" reaction

Rockets will finish with a top 2 or 3 record

I think I read a stat that when neither Ariza nor Luc were on the court, the Rockets team DRtg wouldve ranked 30th in the league. So yes, it is a big deal. I still think Houston is a top 4 ish team, but they wont get a better chance at beating GS than they just had.

Possibly

Thats why KD is a problem

Everyone has injuries.

Chris paul gets hurt and theyre cooked

The warriors arent immune to injuries. Iggy missed games, steph has missed rounds, klay wasnt healthy

None of it matters because they have KD

Hes injury insurance

I don't think i'd compare him to any of them. He's built like Lebron. Don't think he has great perimeter shooting, but he can get to the hoop.

zion could go either way. i do think a year at duke will help a ton but he has the body thst could get huge if hes not careful. i dont think he'll be a great scorer either.

Yup

With Ariza off the court, they were second to last defensively last season

This is true but MJ flew and had that hang time

But yea looks like its further. Looks similar to Pippens FT line dunk
