Houston Rockets Daily Rocket Science: Problem solved?

Both Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon (along with Nene, but that’s a different story) are now Houston Rockets, each on a four-year contract. Both are in their late 20s and have a history of sitting out due to injuries. Both are excellent three-point shooters but are proven liabilities on defense. From what it sounds like, they’ll fit right in with the Rockets.

New head coach Mike D’Antoni will surely focus the Rockets’ offense on pushing the tempo and shooting a ridiculous amount of threes. His best years of coaching were spent trying to convince his team to spend no more than seven seconds on offense per possession.
