Gerald Green's Playoff Impact

LorneMalvo · Apr 8, 2018

He and Johnson are not good. The reality is Morey did absolutely nothing to improve the team from training camp to now.

Paul
Harden
Ariza
Tucker
Capela
Luc
Nene
Gordon
Anderson

The solid 9. Run them out and be done with it.

Once we find out who we play in the 1st round we will know how crazy Gerald will go out there.

Rockets currently have GG Dinosaur, Rynosaur and JJ Isosaur.

JJ was Iso Joe and defeat Chris Paul Last year.

Warriors have turn JJ Isosaur into JJ I-soft 2nd round playoffs last year.

This year Warriors will turn GG Dinosaur, Rynosaur into

GG Dino-Soft

Ryno - Soft

There dinosaurs will have 5 of 15 3pts shooting per game, and they will play zero defense against 4 Warriors all-stars.

Obviously their legs look old.

Warriors for the past 3 years during the playoffs pick out your poorest 3-point shooters and leave
them open while keeping the best perimeter shooter is covered as a means of doing the time tested
pack the paint help defense known to happen in the playoffs. This is how the Warriors protect Curry
and try to keep in him fresh for the fourth quarters.

So Harden gets his double-triple coverage as he drives in the paint while Ariza was covered tight.
Or Dwight Howard had the defense collapse on him in the Post Up while Ariza was closely guarded
on the perimeter and Harden/Bev so-so guarded. Results in Mucho turnovers for Harden. Dwight
didn’t want to run PnR after hyper extending knee in game 1 of WCF vs GSW. (14/15 to 15/16)

Same mentality without D12 by Spurs; “swarm” the paint/ Harden while leaving Dekker/Harrell open
& rotate help off Capela (with another player rotating onto Capela in the paint).....stay close to Gordon,
Ryno & Lou W.....so-so in the vicinity of Ariza/Beverley. Of course Nene got hurt and Harden got tired
rotating defensively himself vs Gasol/LMA/Dedmon/D West as D’Antoni went 3 guards &
Harden as SF/PF. (16/17)

Now, the Rockets have no weakness on the perimeter.....to a point. Teams will use the same ploy defensively
with the Warriors doing it best against the Rockets; but still too many holes left open on the perimeter. GSW
in particular will drop off of JJ, Luc MaM and Tucker on the perimeter like they did to OKC in 15/16 when they
left Andre Roberson open and dropped off of him to provide def help in the paint vs Westbrook/Durant.
Trying to keep the stars as jump shooters. Roberson made many of his 3 in the first 4 games; but as per
Warriors strategy.......beat us by making those four the better of a 7 game series. Tucker 37%, Luc 36% and
JJ shoots 27%. It’s not about the % of Tucker/Luc as much as quantity. Tucker shoots 3.7 per game
while Luc shoots 2.9 per game. I have confidence Tucker and Luc will make enough of them. JJ
is shooting the same as with Utah.....wrist injury has been a factor as well as the usual depth pe4ception
issues that come with Toyota Center. JJ will get even more open shots from 3 in playoffs than right now.

Warriors will stay in Gerald Greens and E Gordons grills. In the vicinity of Ariza/CP3/Ryan. Ryan if he makes
his 1st then close.....because if he make his 1st he can go off on a roll and make his next 5 with a hand in
his face (on the road).

Thunder used the defense I said most teams will employ against us (Rockets). The article identifies
the tactic. Melo played off Tucker to help out on Harden. Rockets have time to adjust until the
playoffs begin, where the Rockets will see this often. Helps to have Eric Gordon and
Ryan Anderson back.

You can find it in the second paragraph of the article. Before the 3 points taken away from the game.
