    No. It takes time and practice to build your play around having no shame (flopping) and subtly breaking rules and not getting caught (illegal screens and the like). Our guys don't have the practice that the Mavs, Clips, Warriors, Spurs, etc. do, so they'll be too obvious and get caught. Plus, the referring factor is very likely to favor the Warriors the whole series. We came close to beating them last game by playing pretty well, in spite of all this. If we correct some of our internal mistakes, I think we take to the win.

    No, because the refs will call it every time on the Rockets and ignore those set by the Warriors.

    Nah, we will get called on every pick. Hopefully GSW get those picks called.

    Videos have had to be sent by now. I don't know how they are still getting away with it this deep into the playoffs.

    Earlier in the playoffs I remember seeing Bogut bear hug his defender which helped for an easy lay up from one of the GS guards. It ended with Steve Kerr giving him a nod and "good job". It's almost as if he draws up the plays and says "do something illegal here and don't get caught".

    I think you need to do some blatant ones. The same kind that GSW has been doing.

    If we do that, maybe they might call them on GSW.

    Have to call a fair game, right?

    I think we should set rapey screens. Make the Warrios really uncomfortable.

    I vote for Draymond Green screens. Every fall into the warriors to prevent them from chasing the shooter.

    I have yet to see a screen by the Rockets
    Where the Screener and the person he screening for .. . move like 3 feet together

    The Screens from GS . . . look more like offensive line men in pass defense

    This is the type of play I'd like to see from the Rockets tonight:

    Someone who claimed that the Rockets play the same way... Give me some video evidence please.
    Thank you.

    I think GS does it more than us but no where near what Jordan and Griffin was doing to us facing the Clippers. Im more worried about the fouls they wasnt calling in the first and second quarters when they where hacking Harden. If they called it both ways they wouldnt have went on that big of a run. They called it better in the second half but by then we allready blew the 16 point lead. I say we still win the game if Howard didnt get hurt.
