Ryan Anderson has not been putting up the big scoring games that we’re used to from him. And he wasn’t tonight, either, until he decided the fourth quarter was the perfect time to hit some threes from WAY out there. He still only ended up with 21, which for the old Ryan Anderson would be…

Ryan Anderson 23 Points Full Highlights (12/7/2017)
Ryan Anderson began the process of excising the two-point shot from his game when he arrived in Houston. He would still take layups when presented with them, obviously, but the midrange jumper was deployed from his arsenal with less and less frequency. Now, in his second season with the team, he is shooting an insane…

I guess you can’t complain too much since his team is winning so many games, but Ryan Anderson has turned in some real dud scoring performances this season. In seasons past, 24 points would not be especially notable for Ryno, but I fear he has been marginalized on the roster and that I should be…

For some reason, the hype that Kyle Korver gets does not extend to Ryan Anderson even a little bit. Come on people. They’re both white American males who can shoot the three ball. They’re basically the same player except Anderson can still do other stuff (especially pump-fakes) and Korver can’t. Basically, if this vid showed…

I’ve already bemoaned the lack of Ryan Anderson midrange touches this year, and resultingly, the impending lack of a mid-range-ilation when all is said and done. It’s too bad, because he has one of the finest Dirk-esque stepbacks in the league, rivaling even the master himself. That’s not how the Rockets play, though. But out…

Last year I made a compilation of all of Ryan Anderson’s stepback and fadeaways from the midrange area. I called it a jumperilation. It was sick. It was, God forgive me for uttering these words, Dirk-esque. And, if present trends continue, there’s not going to be another one this year. Ryan Anderson has essentially halved…

These highlights would have been a lot more sweet if they depicted Ryan Anderson scoring 31 points with 8 threes, as the boxscore told me, rather than these 28 points with 7 threes, which is what really happened in real life really. Who knows, maybe by the time you’re reading this the NBA will have…

Someone tell me why Ryan Anderson isn’t averaging 20 points a game this season. He’s on the ROCKETS, for Christ’s sake! The Rockets with MIKE D’ANTONI as head coach! That’s the perfect storm for a three-point chucker to chuck as many three-pointers as he wants without any repercussions. But here we are, a third of…

In this episode of DTB’s Honesty Hour, where DTB sits in front down with his fans and only tells plain facts unmolested by lies or deceit, we’re going to talk about Ryan Anderson. Specifically, how good Ryan Anderson is supposed to be in the mystical D’Antoni system. Remember, this is Honesty Hour, so I’m going…

I pretty much thought that Ryan Anderson was going to be a total beastmonster with Houston. So did you, I’m sure. Don’t try to abnegate the responsibility you hold for having those thoughts. Don’t even TRY to abnegate it, dude. The fit was (is???) just too perfect. A mindless three-point assassin playing on a fast-paced…
