[Chron] Rockets find their defense

Yeah, Carl really needs to focus on his defense. Luis is more consistent, defensively, but isn't nearly as athletic. Landry needs to turn up that part of his game.

 

Chuck pwns Alridge every time the two teams meet. This time.. he pwned him on the offensive end for 2-3 possessions! Was really nice to watch..

 

In fact, I dont see much good defense in this game.....
Maybe they play good defense while atdhe admin blocked the link
and thus, i cannot notice it. :grin:

 

Did not watch the game live on tv so that I don't know what's right or not right.

I just knew it from the boxscore that we got outscored in the first by 10 points, play-by-play showed we were just playing some fugly basketball towards the end of the first period.

Should have found our defense earlier but sooner enough then never, glad we did it in this game and earned a well-deserving win.

 

No one touches us (for the most part) when we slap some defense on the opponent.

The last few games have been hell, almost unwatchable because of poor effort on D. Seriously, watching your team play bad defense can be HIGHLY annoying. I still say the worst game I've seen all year was the game vs MIA. Layups and dunks like THAT? *shudders*

 

Hayesfan,

I am discusseded with you for agreeing with Jerome Saruman. His an ijot.

 

found their defense... then lost their ability to make a F/T

 

potlands bech was playing illeagal ft defense in the last minute....

 

The Rockets success will be determined by their defensive play down this stretch. They have no room for errors and the key to all successful incarnations of Rockets basketball have always been the ability to play good defense, with a solid but rarely overwhelming offense.

 

"It is as if the Rockets aren’t interested in getting nasty. Jeff Van Gundy’s rough-and-tumble squad is now a cutesy finesse team that tries to outscore everybody. We have to live with it."
