1-4.
Rockets - 105, Sixers - 104.
That's what happens to young teams. They get their hearts broken when they can't close out games.
Now that I've actually had a chance to watch a game this season, I'm just gonna comment what I see on players.
Joel - Yeah, I know. He's got all the potential in the world. But two things with his game bother the fuck outta me right now.
1) He REALLY needs to work on his dribbling in the post. I saw him turn it over at least three times five feet away from the rim. I hope he has Hakeem's number on speed dial, cause he need to holla at that man next summer.
2) Dude is a kamikaze down there. And that's not always good, especially with the kit gloves management has put on him. I respect the effort, but that knee is a bad landing away from being torn out.
Ben - For all his court vision, he has very little to ZERO confidence in his shot. He should've posted Gordon up on his last offensive possession and shot over him. I suspect that will get better with time, but how long will that take. A year? Two?
RoCo - Dude shoots 3s WAY too much for me. I know; he's the Sixers best perimeter player.....I think, but 4/12 from 3 doesn't help out.
JJ - Nothing much to really say. That's his game. He'll make most of 'em.
TJ - Still scrappy; still a fresh jolt of energy off the bench. I wouldn't mind running him and Ben in the backcourt at the end of games for awhile.
Dario - As I said before, why is he not getting minutes? Shots? ONE FG attempt this game?? I don't necessarily put that on him, but that shit is scust.
Amir - .............when the fuck is Holmes coming back? This dude is nothing more than a salary cap write-off at this point. They need to never run post plays for him ever again.
Anderson - He needs to learn to stop leaving his feet, B. Gordon burned his TWICE on 3 pointers with that shit.
And yet Jah STILL doesn't play. I'm legit angry at Brett or the front office for doing this shit. This is horseshit at this point.
Next up, Saturday @ Dallas. They HAVE to win that game. I know we're "still figuring things out", but 1-4 is a high enough climb. 1-5 means we won't reach .500 probably till the break....if at all.
