[Peep Game]

The adjustment is gonna be Ryno at the 5 and him doubling down on the small ball

This sounds disgusting

Ryan Anderson is TRASH!

Another one of those instances where I'd much rather have Serge Ibaka or Paul Milsap

You ain't lying

 

[hardens beard]

Lou is borderline unplayable right now he missing rotations left and right and he's not making any plays on offense

 

[hardens beard]

Pringles asleep at the wheel again. No reason Ariza should be on the bench while kawhi is in the game.

getting cooked on the boards cause of this nonsense

 

[Peep Game]

Another annoying game of not contesting and letting guys who have 4ppg career averages get off. It never fails. And we're getting killed on the boards. Ryno better keep hitting 3s or he's useless. Like y'all already mentioned, he needs to open up the rotation and not just get sunk being comfortable. Dekker played a couple minutes but Harrell needs to be in there simply for boards and athleticism.

 

[hardens beard]

Harrell gotta play. And he gotta contribute cause that Ryno at the 5 is no bueno

Good win. Should have put them away earlier, but we let them stay in the game a lot longer than we should have. Ryan Anderson might be the worst 4 in the league in terms of playing defense/rebounding. Defensive intensity to start the game was real nice though. Gordon was big off the bench and the shots were generally falling tonight. Good to see harden not settling for a ton of 3's and actually attacking the basket. Best out of 3 now.

 

[hardens beard]

We played with pace last night. Harden finally stopped walking the ball up. Hope it continues next game

If this doesn't get Harrell in the lineup with legit minutes, Harrell clearly accidentally bumped into MDA, didn't realize it was him, and kept moving

 

[finessesosa]

Damn Nene gone. Harrell has to step up BIG time for us. He should be able to cuz Spurs front court is soft as baby ****

[hardens beard]

We'll see. .... I kind of like Ryan at the five, so it was kind of a decision that made itself."

Doesnt look like Harrell is going to get minutes even with Nene being out.

 

[rbk93]

Anderson at the 5 should definitely work.

 

[hardens beard]

Anytime Ryno is playing the 5, Lou can't be on the court with him. To many time he gives up dribble penetration without resistance.

I still can't believe after not defending Simmons on the perimeter at the buzzer one game, he did the same thing the VERY NEXT GAME

SAN ANTONIO -- Houston Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni confirmed that Ryan Anderson will come off the bench in Game 5 on Tuesday night, with Eric Gordon replacing him in the starting lineup. The change was made because of an injury to reserve center Nene.

Anderson, the Rockets' starting power forward all season, will now see a large share of his minutes as the second-team center. Nene is out the remainder of the postseason with a torn left adductor.

The Rockets and San Antonio Spurs are tied 2-2 in their Western Conference semifinal series.

The Rockets made the adjustment after Nene went down in Game 4. Gordon started the second half and Anderson came off the bench. Anderson said he had no issue shifting to a reserve role, noting that he had served as a sixth man for the Orlando Magic and New Orleans Pelicans.

"I've done it throughout my career," Anderson said. "Obviously I'm not a very conventional 5-man, but it also makes it difficult for the other team to figure out how to guard us on pick-and-pops or if I'm rolling to the basket or whatever it is. Our ability to run, we have to take those opportunities to our advantage."

Second-year player Montrezl Harrell is another option to back up starting center Clint Capela, but Harrell has played only 18 minutes in these playoffs. - ESPN

We'll see how this works

 

[bonafide hustla]

so, Ryno is gonna guard Pau?
Trev? guarding LMA?



Who's guarding Kawhi?

(or we expect them to pull a big? I would not if I were Pop)

 

[hardens beard]

Capela guarding LMA
Harden "guarding" Pau
Ariza guarding Kawhi.

It's gonna be next to impossible to double team now that Mills is starting

 

[bonafide hustla]

Harden "guarding" Pau

but yea, my fault Ryno isn't starting. lineup sounds like food, defensively
