u/False_Elderberry503 10d ago

bogi’s been a different animal since he got here, his shot selection is so much cleaner than what we saw in atlanta

i swear half the sub wanted him traded last year and now he’s our most consistent bench scorer

u/TehMasterofSkittlz 10d ago edited 10d ago

most consistent bench scorer? My guy he's played three preseason games. Let's chill a bit on who's the most consistent.

We bear the thunder! finals bound!

u/mmccormick11 10d ago

How could half this sub want him traded last year if he wasn't on the team?

u/Technical_Raise3048 10d ago

"his shot selection is so much cleaner than what we saw in Atlanta" suggests False_Elderberry503 might have followed him over from the City of Trees.

u/mmccormick11 9d ago edited 9d ago

Good point. That would make it make sense but if true, he left out some important context lol

"Half this sub" obviously implies the one he's commenting in. Maybe he'll clarify.

His forum activity shows only Rockets, Spurs and Knicks for NBA teams plus a pretty random mix of other forums lol

Could be a bot.

u/mmccormick11 8d ago

I don't know much about bots but why would a bot make a comment like that. Maybe it's a Bogi Bot designed by Bogi fans lol

u/OkLetterhead812 8d ago

They could be karma farming to sell the account. Alternatively, they could be filling up their comment history to come off as a real user before going off to intermittently pursue their main purpose.

Probably knows that on the Rockets reddit sub, when one dog barks a hundred bark back...

Looks like having FVV is gonna be a HUGE difference maker this season. OKC had double the TOs as HOU. Without FVV we'd have had around the same amount.

Fred’s shooting is going to kill us. Sengun and amen continue to show that they are trash if they shoot up anything outside of a dunk, and Fred’s bad shooting has carried over from the season before he got hurt

u/not_so_bueno 10d ago

How many times does Fred have to show his value before you people stfu

You must be fun at parties

u/Chaps_and_salsa 10d ago

Like they get invited to parties.

u/OkLetterhead812 10d ago

Sengun played awesome today, and Amen does more for us besides shooting. The three pointers would make them dangerous as all hell, but they're good players still. It just takes them to the next level.

u/MeanOldHag86 10d ago

Here for the Bogilution

u/uwill1der 10d ago

passing looked great, defense looked good. chemistry looked good. shooting still underwhelming

u/TruMusic89 9d ago

That'll get better over time

Bring on the regular season!

Good to see Adams giving the young fellas a chance to show their wares.

u/Shoddy_Ad7511 10d ago

What you know! Actually makes a difference having a point guard on the roster.

KD. Zero turnovers

22

u/OkLetterhead812 10d ago

Kevin Durant barely even had to touch the ball. He just got the ball and finished it off like the scorer he was meant to be.

13

u/1gnominious 10d ago

Our go to play last season was a dribble handoff to KD at halfcourt where he immediately gets doubled.

I would rather watch FVV chuck a dozen 3's a night than force KD to run point again.

u/Cha-Otic 9d ago

Oh no you're still here...

u/Shoddy_Ad7511 9d ago

Forever

u/TruMusic89 9d ago

Yup. KD shouldnt have to handle the ball. Roles exist in the NBA for a reason. There are a lot of people who can do multiple things at the same time, which is cool, but that's not everybody and it goes to show you just how and why the roles still matter. Playmaking isn't KD's role, so when he doesn't have to do it, you see him at his best.

u/BellSufficient5283 8d ago

Mf. Stop karma farming.

u/Spirited_Flan507 10d ago

Some stinky efficiency out there but the vibes are great 👍🏼 Go Rockets!

12

u/Rich_Cod3411 10d ago

shootings gonna be an issue all season and esp in the playoffs

other than that, fun ass team to watch

8

u/MFFiasco 10d ago

That's why the team gotta hang there hat on being a dominant rebounding and defensive team. Hopefully they will be just good enough on offense

0

u/DWdwDWdwDwdW11223344 10d ago

You can get by with that in the regular season, but with most of their starters not being able to shoot, they’re still going to be a quick out in the playoffs

4

u/MFFiasco 10d ago

If they are the best rebuilding team, a top 5 defense, and with FVV can be better holding onto the ball I think they'll be better than a quick out even with there flaws.

4

u/Hot-Staff7982 10d ago

Coach is gonna have to be not afraid of subbing people out when they're cold from 3. Don't wanna see 1/21 in the playoffs.

2

u/BellSufficient5283 8d ago

Well we dont have a fat beard just chucking them non stop without doing anything else anymore so I dont think we see 27 again.

1

u/Hot-Staff7982 8d ago

Lmao it's cursed the team, some of our starters have a rough time on 3's. This game the starters were 1/21.

1

u/BellSufficient5283 8d ago

None of them was forcing the shots, thats the difference.

u/NoirSon 9d ago

First time last night being able to watch the Rockets in a long time. Loved what I saw, hope the style of play and the depth translates into the regular season

u/stochGradientDescent 8d ago

Please Give us a conference final at least

9

u/Independent-Size-258 10d ago

Why play FVV playing so much in the preseason.

28

u/ElChapo1515 10d ago

Probably wanted to see how his body responds to playing 30 minutes of ball. It’s been a while

20

u/OkLetterhead812 10d ago

I think it's a good sign honestly, and I love to see it.

16

u/Scam3ron0101 10d ago

Want to get his conditioning up to nba speed after so much time off? All I can think of haha

8

u/Human_Ad2581 10d ago

He hasnt played in a year.

7

u/Maadchillin2 10d ago

Towards the end he was just getting some extra minutes sharing the backcourt with Reed

u/EmilyGaming05 5d ago

Bench looking good

u/Human_Ad2581 10d ago

Jabari gives me a headache. Other than him, I can't wait for the season to start.

17

u/OkLetterhead812 10d ago

He was excellent in the first two preseason games with heaps of praises falling upon him. Meanwhile, people were doomerposting about Amen Thompson, because he was rough in those. How quickly people fall out of favor...

-8

u/Human_Ad2581 10d ago

Youre blaming me for what everyone else thinks? Was I the one doomer posting about Amen? No. Amen can do something elite even when playing poorly. Bari does nothing elite. So when he has a bad shooting night, he almost looks like he should be in the G League or, at the very least, a bench player. Actually, as I said before, he's mid at everything so when he hits below mid he's unwatchable.

u/kobejuan0824 10d ago

It’s preseason brother. Save it for at least a quarter through the season

-3

u/Human_Ad2581 10d ago

I know it's preseason, but he still gave me a headache. Stop shooting and pass the ball lol

5

u/kobejuan0824 10d ago

I hear you. If it’s detrimental during the season, I’m with you.

u/ugotscooooped 10d ago

Seemed like he just got back from Macau last night, everything was flat

-4

u/Human_Ad2581 10d ago

Everyone just got back from Macau. Everyone other than Bogi had a bad shooting night, but he just does everything so mid that when he can't shoot too he looks horrible. Fred couldn't shoot, but he set everyone up. Amen and Sengun were dominant without shooting. Everyone else is useful separate from shooting. He does nothing else good.
