    I'm watching other games and one thing I've noticed that other teams in the Playoffs due constantly is tipping the ball out for an offensive rebound if you can't grab it yourself. I've never seen a Rockets player do this.

    Let's compile a list

    Things that other teams do that the Rockets don't:
    1. Tipping balls out to a teammate for an offensive rebound
    2. 2 on 1 or greater fast break, get a easy layup every time
    3. Make cuts, screens off the ball, just movement without the ball overall
    4. Give and go type action
    5. Take advantage of matchups, ex: PG on a Center? Recognize that and give it to the Center to take advantage as best you can

    These are just great habits that championship teams tend to have. What do you guys think? Anything else?

    Going all in on a strategy to the point of being a one-trick pony...but doing that in a ****ty manner.

    How the **** does this team shoot close to the most 3s (barely behind GS) and dead last in %. How many years has Morey had to sign shooters?

    Midrange jumpers is a big thing the winning teams are good at. Aside from Beasley, the rockets have no consistent mid shooter.

    That comes later, the rockets don't even have good 3pt shooters!??!!?

    You can't succeed in the NBA w/o that.

    Outscore their opponents...........

    Seriously tho, I'd say it's our lack of effort to be honest.
