Capela has to be better, even if you can't score just dominate the glass and help recover. Can't get demoralized cuz you don't get any buckets
Pringles also needed to put Capela in for that last possession. It's not Nene's job to guard Curry, the training wheels have to come off at some point.
Mannish is C more time on the floor for sure. He was a physical presence download both sides of the court.
Last 2 games Clint has been a complete non-factor. We need him to show some heart. It’s like he’s invisible the whole game.
Capela is totally neutralized because they’re taking away the lob passes for easy buckets, This is exactly how the Jazz defended him. So, if he can’t be physical then he’s useless offensively. Defensively he has good lateral quickness to defend against smaller players but I’d rather see a guy like Faried in there alongside Nene for offense. He’s quicker to the basket and can shoot a bit. He proved that much the last time we beat them on the road. When GS went small we should've put him in.
Even if they are taking away the lob, there is no excuse to have only 6 rebounds. He has a very inconsistent motor. He had no effort or hunger today. Just letting smaller guys outmuscle him and box him out for rebounds. Clint should be feasting on offensive and defensive boards since they don’t have cousins and are not playing bogut.
Harden missed 2 floaters that I remember. He’s been doing a poor job on reading the defense in the playoffs. Forcing lobs when it’s not there.
Clint looked horrible today. He can't talk **** after the Jazz series win about playing the warriors then look like a timid 5 year old playing among men when playing them. Gotta walk the walk.
They took away the lobs, so something else should have been available for the Rockets. Harden didn't look like himself today driving to the basket. We shot under 30% from three. No way we win games shooting under 30% from three. Clint isn't the traditional post up in the paint Center. He can't get points by himself in our offense. If the Warriors want to keep a man glued to Clint to prevent dunks, then they can do that, but that should open things up for Harden and Paul. What happened to the Harden floater? It seems like something would have been available with a man glued to Clint. Oh, that's right, we shot less than 30% from three. Oh, and the refs wouldn't call fouls on our threes, which probably contributed to our poor shooting. Such a frustrating game, and Clint was not good. But, I don't think Clint is the first guy I would blame this loss on.
