Big Steven needs to hit a ft

Nebuchadnezzar · Post #382 » by **Nebuchadnezzar** » Sat May 3, 2025 3:42 am

Pascal already ended Giannis and the Bucks, Fred in a position to end the Warriors for a second time in a decade. What has gone down on this board and with team is infuriating. Scottie Barnes is complete disappointment in comparison to the players that were traded away because of him. Pascal, Fred, OG.

All making making huge contributions, with Fred and Pascal leading their teams past established franchises in the playoffs. The tanking must end, and this board and this franchise must return to the roster building strategies that pot led to a decade as a premier franchise in the NBA and to a championship. TWO needs to retire and never return again.

Fred with the best 3pt showing in a three playoff game stretch in rockets history

That could be happening on for us right now

I still think golden state will win game 7.

But there is definitely a scotty cult in the fanbase. For whatever reason...the most toxic fans attached themselves to him through no fault of his own.

He never showed signs of what they claimed about him. Completely delusional. "He's am amazing leader of men". No. There has never been a sign of that. "He is like magic johnson". No he isn't. It's been very strange.

He did well for us in 2018-19. That's enough. That ship has sailed.

Fred does well against old PG teams. he'd get destroyed by someone young and fast like Maxey

He can be the best player on the floor against one of the best PGs in history in the playoffs but wouldn’t perform against Tyrese Maxey?

This is what I mean about this fanbase ridiculously disrespecting this guy.

Pascal and Fred having an excellent playoffs so far. OG has been struggling offensively but battling on the defensive end.

You can still see the remnants of a 22 win team. But adding Fred, Ime and Amen have helped turn this team around.

Fred doesn’t need to hit shots to be effective out there. He makes great decisions with the ball and has been a great mentor for this young group. Nurse and Ime have played this guy heavy minutes. More than any other player. There has to be a reason for that.

Game 7 will be fun.

Scottie Barnes about to make 39 million next year, and his team went 30-52 this year

Fred, 2nd seed in the west and about to eliminate the Warriors for the second time lol

When the Rockets picked up injured Steven Adams at the 2024 deadline who ever thought it would pay off like tonight. Bringing him for Brooks early third made a big difference. Pairs well with Sengun

He did well for us in 2018-19. That's enough. That ship has sailed.

It sailed because we are an awful organization now with no direction. With his skill set and IQ, he should be playing for a contender and now he is.

That's not the point at all

We got rid of guys who are leaders in this playoffs because we hung out hat on Scottie.

It was not the right approach and we have suffered as a result. We should never tank again

Hahahaha the only way you're seeing Maxey in these playoffs is if he shows up to the draft lottery as the sixers rep.

Yup. And given the context, it was the right deal.

it's interesting watching Siakam, OG, Fred helping their teams win in the playoffs but they couldn't figure it out playing together on the raptors in their final years....I guess they all got paid and now they started focusing on winning again.

No, we should have traded scottie

No, we should have done a complete tank instead of a half measure every single time. I’m well aware FVV could have kept this team a fringe playoff team and I absolutely didn’t want that.
