Damnnnnnn there goes that narrative

There are only so many 35+ yr old Rockets to sign in 2023.

Is that what it is? Nobody wants anymore rickets because they are obviously on some against nature abomination activities over there in that locker room when they main two guys are sleeping with one another

Well Houston recently traded Green's partner so that's settled for them.

Oh look Montrez resigned. Darryl just couldn't resist.

Mo Bamba is better than Reed. Yeah I said it.

I can’t argue with that other than I think Reid is more of a PF than a center. Bamba can play PF or C but either way I wanna see embid and bamba on the floor together

Our best signing may end up being Mohamed Bumba, think about it lol

Watch on YouTube

Here's the most recent "NF" video I found of Bamba, so not best of times but not worst of times. He makes stupid decisions at times, and his shot looks more inconsistent than his form would suggest. I will say he boxes out pretty well and has definitely added weight since Texas. In terms of our past guys like Drummond, Howard, Jordan, etc, he fits that mold since he contests shots well but also fouls a lot.

If Bamba can get confident in that form again (dipped in FT% pretty precipitously since the year before which concerns me), then he could be a nice steal. Nurse has to work his shooting magic on him.

And after watching both of them, Bamba and Boucher are not really alike. Boucher can play PF and moves way more gracefully than Bamba. Mo is more like Embiid moving down the court, a bit lumbering and slow.

His shot form looks really good.

We got destroyed inside during the playoffs in games Reed started. Mo Bamba never really developed into the player he should have but his challenges and alters shots. He can also hit the open 3.

He is much better than Reed. I honestly don't understand the boards obsession with him.

For his career, it would be great if he could reach some of his potential and get a good contract. We don't need it from him as a backup big. If he can block and alter shots while stretching the floor that is a massive win for us.

Fun fact: Bamba hasn't had a single season in the NBA where he shot over 50% from the field.

He's 7 foot. Yikes.

Aren't you the "look where he's shooting from" context guy?

JudahMax · Post #34 » by **JudahMax** » Mon Jul 10, 2023 9:15 am

Bamba can either be the starting PF or backup C, if Paul Reid can develop a midrange shot he can play 4 next to embid but if he can’t bring his man out away from the paint he cannot play with embid it’s gonna clutter to much of that space. So I’m not sure what nurse plan is but he’s a smart coach he’ll figure it out. Maybe he can turn Reid or bamba into siakem but siakem cannot shoot! So that would be bamba

It’s because 45-50% of his FG attempts are 3s. If he will just stay in the paint he can get his 50 FG%.

I wish the storyline of this season is we found a breakthrough with either Reed or Bamba being able to play with Biid.

no, Bamba cannot play anywhere but the 5 (barely)

That's fine since both Jo and BBall can play the 4 next to him. Bamba's shooting lets us get creative with lineups.

Bumba sucks, Drummond and Howard are much better replacements.

He said in a round about way that Embiid recruited him (Tampering Incoming). I believe that Embiid will want to atleast try the double big lineup with him.
