Chauncey Billups on How Rockets can beat Warriors in Game 7: Defense!

is this the one and only "how to" commentary that actually tries to help the rox?

 

DEFENSE!
DEFENSE!
DEFENSE!
I believe being physical IS they key (as long as the refs allow it, that is)
But if the refs are gonna only let the physicality go one way, then they are going to hand it to the Worriers.

 

Defense, forced turnovers, transition buckets, made 3s. These a few of my favorite things.

 

Like I said earlier, they need to hold them under 10p points to have a chance.

 

They're probably right, Chris Paul ain't playing. Rockets need a miracle.

 

Clyde Drexler : make baskets.

 

Maybe score more than the Warriors?

 

Billups is spot on, lock down uber physical D for 4 quarters (but on Queef Bros, not KD), limit turnovers and control tempo if they gain lead.

 

This IS the way to beat them, it’s not any unbelievable game plan just 4 quarters of effort. The Captain Obvious problem is super short rotos catches up to us in the 3rd. We just look gassed and next thing you know we’re not closing out at the 3pt line and they leak out for open shots. I think we need to see them go o fer or close to it in the third from three. When that happens they start pressing, TOs, etc. This will have to be the ultimate effort and heart game for us. Let’s Go!

 

Physicality should ramped up slowly throughout the game or else we’ll be in foul trouble like in Game 1. Get a feel for the refs and how they want this game to be played (unfortunately).
