A Point Guard Please?

Houston, Tx. - It’s been a couple of weeks since the Houston Rockets, who in their eyes, underperformed in their playoff series this year. They’ve let things die down, so they didn’t make any drastic moves upon the playoff exit and are looking at ALL options for this upcoming season.

Houston feels like they may be stuck in the mud a little bit with supporting cast playing at a underwhelming rate in the playoffs. As a team they have identified Point Guard as their main priority going into the offseason. Whether that’s a trade, FA acquisition or even taking someone late in the first round if he falls to them or trading up to get someone they LOVE. They were forced to play Tyler Herro at point guard in the playoffs as they felt that Tomas Satoransky was not getting the job done for them, and it worked out, until the Mavericks played suffocating defense and Herro started to turn the ball over… A LOT. So Point Guard is a #1 need and if they don’t get that sorted, the offseason will be a failure.

Scoring didn’t seem to be an issue for the Rockets, their team had a lot of players who loved to put the ball up, whether the ball went in or not, they were letting it fly. What was concerning was their defense, with Jokic being a little slower on that end, they really relied on guys to play defense and guys like Tim Hardaway and Tomas/Tyler were not getting the job done on the perimeter. Someone they would love to retain is a guy like Josh Hart who they thought did great in the playoffs. With Tim and JJ Reddick (who we didn’t get to see much of), they will be clearing up to $30 million dollars there and with very moveable contracts like Marcus Morris and Jerami Grant, they look to be very active this coming offseason.

HAPPY OFFSEASON!
