    Who gonna guard melo? ryan anderson?!? :#

    Pj tucker

    Tucker 6'5 and won't start and if he closes games he'll still be at an disadvantage cuz he'll have to guard a player 3-4 inches taller

    He's been guarding 3s and 4s his whole career and has done very well so I think he'll be okay....... his height is a disadvantage but hes never been a lock down defender anyway, hes someone who can knock you off your spot, get up in you/be pbysical and just be an annoyance which is what we need after losing Bev

    Not saying were going to be shutting people down by any means but you'd be hard pressed to find a better group of wing defenders than Tucker, Ariza and Mbah A Moute

    You a homer rather hear non biased opinions

    moute will be a liability on offense teams will leave him wide open like they do roberson(will ? up spacing too).Tucker and moute net negatives on offense.If they aren't shutting down who they guard their contributions on defense won't really change nothin.With paul being the rockets primary defender of pg's now their margin for error is slim

    When the Bulls traded the picks that would become Gary Harris and nurkic for McDermott, who knew he would be on this third team a few years later?

    How is that a homer opinion? Are Mbah A Moute, Ariza and PJ Tucker not one of the better group of wing defenders in the league?

    Mbah A Moute shot 41.5% and PJ Tucker shot 45.5% on corner 3s last year too by the way which is where they'll be spotting up from in Houston

    "The best stretch 4 in the league" is gonna get more mins than moute and tucker which was my point

    I personally don't see how rockets stopping melo,pg and russ in a 48 min game

    Btw tucker shot 1.7 corner 3's and moute 0.9 so two bench players who are 6 ppg scorers that shot 40+ % from corner 3's is supposed to mean somethin when we're talking about defending 2 wings and russ who led the nba in scoring last year

    Okc has roberson who is the best defender of harden in the nba at their disposal too.

    Rockets could barely handle the thunder in the playoffs with russ and bums

    Ariza and Anderson are going to start, but that's still plenty of minutes at the 3 and 4 for Tucker and Mbah A Moute if necessary....Anderson wont even close games depending on the situation.

    Gordon(Very underrated defender), Harden, Chris Paul will defend Westbrook

    Ariza, Mbah A Moute and Tucker will defend PG and Melo

    We're more equppied to defend them than majority of the teams in the league but we'll see what happens when the games start being played

    Lol @ The Rockets barely handling OKC when we won 4-1

    Lol @ The Rockets barely handling OKC when we won 4-1

    Okc led the rockets when russ was on the floor
    When Westbrook was on the floor (for 39 minutes per game), the Thunder outscored Houston by 4.9 points per 100 possessions. When Westbrook wasn’t on the court, Oklahoma City was even worse than you probably thought. The Thunder were outscored by 51.3 points per 100 possessions while Westbrook watched from the benchIn real terms, when Westbrook sat this series, the Thunder were outscored 137-79 in 45.5 minutes of total court time. They lost by 58 points without Westbrook playing. For the entire series, Houston only outscored Oklahoma City by 43 points.

    the rockets bench was+ 79 for the series they went on a 27-8 run as soon as russ sat and lost a double digit lead.That was literally the difference

    every game besides game 1 thunder led in the 4th which is why the rockets resorted to hack a roberson & russ went full ? trying to go 1 on 5 lol @ you acting like the rockets weren't struggling wit the thunder when russ was on the floor.

    We'll agree to disagree
