Do you have any opinions about the Rockets wearing Hornets jerseys. I hate it!

Of course I do :lol:

I give these jerseys a solid 3 out of 10.

Don't disrespect the Hornets like that btw, these Rockets look like Smurfs evolved and started playing ball.

You know what annoys me? The blue on the court doesn't match the blue of the jerseys.

Now that makes me want to eat a brick.


Powder blue just isn't the Rox man! You're right tho that Hornets jerseys have always looked better.

You're trapped in a game you can neither lose nor win.

Wiseman getting schooled by Kaminsky is so sad.

Detroit is a much better team when Jerami Grant is not your best player. Stating the obvious, but I don't care for these articles popping up that make it seem Grant was being held back all this time. Meh

Wiseman can’t get his midrange and 3-point game going at the same time. I think he still needs to further work on having a more consistent release but I think that will come.

The thing about him is that he really needs to get going offensively early in the game, like be given easy shots and see his points go up. I notice that when he gets his offensive game going that is when I see his defensive intensity pick up and he makes better decisions on defense.

Ideally that shouldn’t be the case but he is still young.

I’m not too worried about Wiseman’s defense. I saw him make some nice rotations at the rim. He needs to learn how to use his length and staying on his feet. Falling for pump fakes too much. Ayton used to do the same as a rookie.

I think Wiseman’s midrange will come in time. He needs to speed up his release

One thing that I didn’t expect from Wiseman is that he is kinda a weak rebounder

Me and the homies watching the game. A quick fun hypothetical: would you trade Julius & Mitch for Wiseman only?
Front court future RJ/Obi/Wiseman
Or a lineup of IQ/RJ/Knox/Obi/Wiseman with RJ/Wiseman being the main focus.

I find Miami's new jersey quite provocative
