As playoffs loom, so does Fred Van Vleet

Either that or their arse getting spanked, but it has the same effect.

 

Hoping to see FVV play again sometimes before the play off ends. So that in off season, rockets can make a re-assessment and plan accordingly. (Keep / trade etc.)

 

From one year ago:




Now FVV "solves so many issues"



Here's Fred with his late game savvy. Keeping the team composed to pull out a clutch dub:



Here he is again making late game plays to seal a win:



More late game winning plays:

 

He is neither, just a decent midget PG who can keep Turnovers lower, and a streaky shooter.

 

Rockets wanted to accelerate their rebuild and this is the result. We look at teams like the Thunder and the Spurs and wonder how their rebuild could happen so quickly. When truthfully they've been largely irrelevant since 2015 (Thunder) and 2016 (Spurs). Rockets started over in 2019.

Funny enough, Daigenault was coach for a lot of those losing seasons. I think Ime makes it hard to see but this has basically been a rebuilding year masquerading as a contending year.

 

I hate to be callous, but if they're all stupid enough to tempt fate - I'm rooting for fate to close this "window" and force the team to retool around Reed, Amen, Jabari and maybe Sengun if he promises to work on his game this summer instead of playing for Turkiye.

 

Agree….coming off serious leg injury, 32 and slow and a career shooter under 40%, what could go wrong with that scenario???
