Game #80: Rockets @ Kings
Well there is a game in a hour.
Celtics fan.

We also face the Kings twice in the near future. I think it's time Yabu pays back some of that free money he's been given his entire career and bounces Fox for a nice 2 week ankle sprain.

Re: Game #80: Rockets @ Kings
I would finally like to see a major role bump for Hield in this game. This 15 shots max stuff needs to be over. Let him go full Kobe for a couple of games and see if Okie Buddy makes an appearance.

where did you hear that he can only shoot 15 shots max?![]()
I'm just saying that in the course of the typical game offensively that's been about the limit so far. Even more than that it's how they'll go entire quarter or so of sticking him at the corner having him watch. They need to start devising a gameplan around their best offensive talent (Buddy and Skal IMO) before the end of the season so they can use that info to make signings, draft picks, etc. Time to cram for the summer.

I really like Galloway, I liked him last year on the Knicks, he can be our energizer bunny... he is a keeper for sure.

You neglected to mention in the few games that Ive seen him not getting the shots for periods of time in these last games, it is because they are either trying to get Skal, WCS or Papa looks (which is a good thing) or someone else has a hot hand that you feed i.e. Galloway, AA or Ben. Others scoring helps the team as well.
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!

It happens in almost every game, and how does feeding AA or Ben help this team next year? That's where the focus needs to be right now. I'm talking about usage, and using certain players as a primary option in the offense in a more consistent manner. I understand team ball, but when parts of said team will be doing those things for other teams next year how does it help you? I think the in game disappearance of some of the Kings young guards for extended periods of time is an issue right now and I would like to see coaching measures taken to see if it can be curtailed or at least determine if it is a bigger issue that may need to be addressed in some other manner moving forward. I say feed shots to the 4 young guys and put everyone else in the corner for a change. It might look ugly, but it might help these guys as time goes on. Just as it appears playing them in real games has.

Re: Game #80: Rockets @ Kings
Ask and you shall receive. So far I'm liking the usage within the offense of both Skal and Buddy and a lot of that has to do with Temples willingness to be the role player. I'd like to see more pick and roll up top with Buddy and Skal where they find Skal for some easy spot up jumpers.

Re: Game #80: Rockets @ Kings
They are getting their butts kicked but for the future this is probably the best game of the year so far because you are seeing the chance for the young guys to build some chemistry. The next step is bringing home that championship!
Summer league of course.
