Max Kellerman on Kerr: Rockets have "linebackers", we look like "volleyball players"

Come on now, Steve, there's no need to insult volleyball players.

It's simple to me. We switch on D, forcing the Warriors into iso mode, as opposed to ball movement and screens. We don't give them what they really want. We are there to contest in exchange for matchup problems.

 

These assholes always have excuses against our guys. KD is the new darling of the league. He got physical and ugly with our Rockets too. Kerr and the media want Draymond and the rest of them to maim us. They are scared that GS can lose this series.

Go Houston Rockets! Don't give a damn about anyone of them.

Agreed. We are taking away the three by giving them twos as well. Idk if that's the game plan or bad defense but I'm okay with letting the warriors cut and getting a wide open layup or dunk. Let KD get his and let him ISO because he's stopping the ball movement and taking curry/Klay out of it.

 

Wrong, Kerr.

When volleyball players hit the floor, it's to dive for a ball, not because the other team breathed on them.

 

Kellerman actually makes an interesting point here. The Rockets are out-talented, by far, but are going to toe to toe against the Warriors. Why? They amp up the effort and physicality, which is what wins in the playoffs.

 

Also he talked about after game 3 that the coach and 3 point bombing system that everyone likes to crap on are a HUGE reason we are keeping up with a much more talented team.

Screamin A was yelling the whole time he was trying to make that point, but whatever.

 

All these discussions should be framed with gs having a starting lineup of all stars and a reserve former all star.

No **** we play ugly. If Steph loves the ballet, push his b**** ass into the mosh pit.

These dumb hot take artists are trying to explain to casual watchers why gs is NOT rolling over the league when twenty nine other teams have bent the knee for the past three years

 

The problem was the Rockets played solid defense, while the warriors employed Bush league tactics. Somehow these guys are trying to give the Warriors an excuse they can sleep with at night.

 

They are trying to set the stage in hopes the Warriors won't be punished for the cheap dirty tactics because the Warriors need that to win.

They are trying to create the narrative that the Rockets are guilty of what the Warriors have been doing throughout the series.

That way when the Warriors do it, they will be able to say that the Rockets do it too or somehow claim the Rockets did it first and the Warriors were just retaliating.

If the Warriors lose, they will be able to say the Rockets victory was tainted because according to them we were cheating and playing dirty.

If the Warriors will be able to publicize how heroic their golden boys were because they overcame the dirty cheating Rockets.

All they are doing now is trying to create narratives.

Let's hope the Rockets just continue to focus on playing harder, outrebounding the Warriors, and being aggressive.

 

Jay is such a loser

We are out talented by far and yet somehow we are beating them, and yet there are people here who want to fire Morey and D'antoni. We are winning because we are smarter and our strategy is better.

 

I thought the Rockets did a better job making plays with off-ball movement. The general principles the Rockets are playing with are great. They just shouldn’t sacrifice fluidity and making good read and react plays depending on how the Warriors are playing them.

 

Tell them to get their weight up..... idgaf about all that extra noise.

 

Prison ball? Lol, I can already hear the excuses coming. Keep it up Rockets. It’s working.........again.
