Also can't find the opposing 3 shooter for those wide open 3s. You need to outscore your opponent.... not just score.
No one should like Amen handling the ball. He should just sit in the corner on his butt during Rocket possessions unless he is going to cut to the middle - but there is no room between the lack of spacing and the swine thighs of the Turkish Mangler.
If I was playing the rockets I would deny Reed or KD the ball at 3. There's no way this team is beating me with 2s if I deny those two the 3 ball
For the second half, he needs to try last night's lineup and bring Amen off the bench, but he'll never do it.
Sometimes?? He's seriously lacking basketball IQ. I honestly feel he overthinks everything. I'm ready to trade him
I wish Fred was here so this team could look exactly the same with slightly less turnovers and slightly worse shooting.
I have never wished for D'Antoni more than now. Them not starting Reed and not bringing Tari off the bench did nothing put have this team become stagnant. If Reed doesn't play heavy minutes this next half then we are lost as a team. You can't develop your one point guard if you dont play him consistently. Amen has been terrible in that role. He is not a natural point guard and you can see it when he plays. He has gotten better no doubt but putting him anywhere outside is death. Amen is shooting worse than last year and I blame where the coach has him positioned. But we will get bounced by anyone not the Lakers or Suns first round.
The spurs are what a serious franchise looks like. The rockets are what a mediocre franchise looks like.
thats been his history. For some reason he always looks off open shooters on the perimeter. He only passes to the nearest shooter when he posts but he usually does not pass to shooters on the drive. That’s why I’ve been saying we need to trade him for giannis
