    let's face it morey ball is ugly. I'm watching all of these playoff games and these teams move with such fluidity with the constant ball movement and off ball movement. Just looking at the Atlanta Hawks makes me envy how their team plays together. Hopefully McHale is gone and the off season because his contract isn't guaranteed. my question is what would the Rockets look like with a more team first approach to offense and defense.

    P.s. did you guys remember the days when the Rockets would run back door passes to harden on the baseline for easy dunks and Parsons would crash the boards and dunk on the opposing teams big man. ALL of that is gone

    Amazing.

    You tell me what would happen to this offense with a coach who runs staggered picks to free up Troy Daniels for some open shots.

    Or integrates P'n'Rs into the offense instead of out of the blue and goes away from it after scoring on 3 straight possessions from it.

    Constant movement = the defense can't stand around watching Harden as he dribbles at the top of the key for half the shot clock getting ready to collapse on him.

    There'd even be a place for Asik in the starting lineup with a coach who embraces a constantly moving offense. Screen after screen after screen.

    Who knows. Maybe I'm just wrong in thinking movement is good. I know it's a small sample size since basically the first quarter in the last Clippers game was the only time in recent memory I remember it happening. And we had them bamboozled.
