There's a lot of people have pointed out.

Yeah, maybe so.

But with regards to the Rockets, like they were getting their best shots in the fourth quarter when Reed Shepard was finding guys with like diagonal passes to the corner was getting some wide open looks.

He's a natural ball mover and he's the only guy who's a real natural ball mover.

on that team because like omen thompson he's a decent enough playmaker but he's not really a point guard even though they've tried to fake it they do it with shangoon as well but he just dribbles 20 times and then settles for a shot and durant it's been the same clutch thing with kevin durant for the entirety of his career he makes really tough shots he also misses shots and if he's not involved in the offense he just stands there remember when we used to complain about westbrook taking too many shots for the thunder that was 15 years ago and nothing has changed so uh

I don't know.

I don't think the Rockets are going to do it this year.

They obviously don't think so either because they didn't make any moves at the deadline when they obviously could have.

So just a weird second half of the season, I think, for this team.

I would assume Fred is their move.

Fred VanVleet has to come back, but it has to be soon.

He got hurt in preseason.

I don't think he's going to play this year.

And he's not going to be Van Vliet this year if he does.

And even last year when he was one of their main clutch guys, it was, can you bail us out with a deep three?

It's not like he was getting into the lane and creating for others.

It was the same old Udoka-style offense.

Dribble it out and hit a miracle shot if you can.

Yeah, we will see if he comes back.

I would have to expect that they have an expectation, but it is worrisome.
