Houston Rockets burrying themselves?

The Houston Rockets, currently 11-14(as of December 11, 2018) and just few steps away from the last seed of the Western Conference. The acquisition of ball dominant Carmelo Anthony, various players left for free agency, early season injury to James Harden and questionable team chemistry is making me shake my head everytime they lose to lottery teams or playoff bound teams that are beatable.

It first started with trading Ryan Anderson, letting go of Trevor Ariza and other players to free agency since they knew firsthand that GM Daryl Morey will do everything to sign a Carmelo Anthony, a ball dominant player that is way past his prime and the favorite of isolation players to shoot on. He is not playing anymore and could be waived but my advice for that: trade him to a lottery bound team for a first round pick!

Oh, I also forgot, fire Mike D'Antoni and hire a defensive minded coach to discipline James Harden whenever he forgets to play defense. The season is still long, or if Daryl Morey won't employ his statistical minded tactics and instead, employs his moneyballer attitude, fire him as well!

An Open letter to the Houston Rockets

I am a Houston Rockets fan. Of course I am sad my team loses. Losing is a part of life. But it doesn't mean this unit will have to lose more! This unit is in fact a star-studded and can make it as the second seed in the stacked up Western Conference but with a mindset like depending on James Harden and Dwight Howard, how can a team win ten straight without the damn motivation.

Aren't this Houston Rockets lineup destined for greatness or at least can challenge the Golden State Warriors? But instead losing to bad teams and almost lost to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers. Can't James play defense more or become the assertive guy that Daryl Morey expects from him? Can't Dwight Howard knock down those free throws and develop a mid range game in order to become a complete soldier? Where is Ty Lawson when you need him? How Corey Brewer slumped? Clint Capela not becoming a more threat than what Morey thought of him.

I will keep this short but hopefully, Daryl Morey will see this one since I am so concerned about my Rockets. This is not the team I saw came back from hell to get through the second round of last year's playoffs. This unit is much worse than 2 years ago. I would rather have Jeremy Lin, Chandler Parsons back or get the draft rights to Nikola Mirotić than selling his high upside. Firing Kevin McHale won't solve the issue but would make it worse.

If the whole Rockets organization is very concern, they must decide now on this current unit or they have to listen to the fans' voices to end the losing streak. I would rather have this unit win badly than losing by letting the opponents score more than 100 points per game and the internal strife between the players!

My NBA 2k14 Experience

Look at that, Nemanja Nedović making 23 poena i 8 asistencija!

It's official. I installed NBA 2k14 on my iphone because i am bored here at home when nothing to do. And if many if you know, i often use the Houston Rockets although i made some alterations in the roster, bringing in my favorite Serbian guard Nemanja Nedović and off the bench. Oh, by the way, i used 5 minutes too and ''Pro'' level to make sure i can have my momentum, still. 

The PC version(which i hadn't played yet) has Euroleague teams, including my Olympiacos Pireaus BC. I wished to play Vassilis Spanoulis or Giorgos Printezis and some of the players there, which i knew because i am a fan.

Nice gameplay on my iphone and i will share how to defeat superpower teams. First, you have to fake your shot. Second, continue or see the shotclock properly. And third, if the opponent handchecks you and commits crucial fouling, you would have an advantage more in offense. In defense, i am a bit shaky, because i am using three ball than a small ball(Howard surrounded by 3 point snipers) but i am making some steals whenever i can, specially Nemanja making a tomahawk slam against Miami. Nice one if your from Serbia and if you would like me playing Nemanja off the bench in more minutes at Shooting Guard.

Well, i would play more if, NBA 2K series brings in the FIBA and Euroleague teams because i am a big fan of three point shooting, tight defense and team chemistry.

Kudos to the developers. Hvala Puno!
