i mean yeah he can get 15 shots but seriously this is not the rockets true identity this season. i think in order for us to win the game this team needs to play rockets/morey basketball. this team a 3 point shooting team heck we even lead the league in 3pt shooting. so yeah i think stots did a really good job on taking away our true identity by not letting our shooters score and just let howard do his thing
THIS CAN GET, A HELL of alot worse. Do you have any idea how pivotal it is to have a guy who can score 30 points in the paint in the postseason? Dwight Howard is the only reason why they haven't been blown out by 50 each of these last games.
LOL wut? Dwight should get the ball every single time the way Harden Parsons and Lin are shooting the ball...
Can't believe Barkley at half time was right....... Dwight tried too much after hot start... Start turning the ball over and missing easy shots. We were forcing him on offense WAY too much... Not Rockets ball.
Troy Daniels needs to play. We need SOMETHING off the bench and he's probably the best shooter on the team.
yup charles is right. this team is not used to give dwight the ball 80% of the time during the season. we are a three point shooting team and this is what morey wants. just look how the RGV play on the dleague they shoot a lot of threes right? i just feel like this team is playing differently this playoffs from what they are this season. this team needs more threes mixed with some dwight howard post ups
That's what happens when Howard is the only one doing anything. The point was to have him get hot, and start hitting threes off of Howard double teams.
Those picks he sets where he gets called for an offensive foul needs to stop. He had 2-3 of those tonight. If he continues to get these fouls we need Asik to do all the screens for Harden.
Yeah let's call out the only player on the team who came to play and played his damned heart out.. Man, stop this. Dwight came to ****ing play.
man don't get me wrong dwight did his thing but this is not how this team is built. morey build this team loaded with shooters. we should mixed our offense with 3pt shooting and stop forcing dwight to post up 80% at a time
Not calling Dwight. He was only bright spot tonight. All we are saying is that our offense is not built to be played inside out the WHOLE game. That is not our identity and it should not be way we are built. So why force upon it now? In this critical juncture of PLAYOFF series? Dwight don't have to score 30+ on ISO for Rockets to win. He just needs to anchor our defense and get a easy bucket from our guards.
dwight is the only player on rockets who has stepped up in both games. if everyoen else is gonna play with a sore vagina, let dwight do w/e the hell he wants
the offense was built to play the way dwight does -- either high percentage inside looks (by dwight) or kick outs to open 3 point shooters caused by double teams on Dwight - which did happen tonight except for one thing the rockets prior to the late harden 3 were 2-15 from downtown. the offense doesnt work if the shooters arent hitting their shots. if those shots go in - less double teams and the higher percentage inside shots become more available. in the second half the blazers made adjustments to crowd dwight and conceded leaving the rockets "Shooters" open since they have missed so many in the series so far and it paid off
Charles Barkley's analyses is stupid. I never believe anything he said out of his mouth. Half of the time, he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, he's a not a true NBA analyst. The only reason he's popular is because he's making outrageous comments and being entertaining. So because he's popular, people buying into whatever the f he said, like he knows what's talking about. I always take what he said with a grain of salt. So, he said going to Howard will not be good for the Rockets. Okay...but he's been effective and is the reason the Rockets are not falling behind. He's basically dominating and you don't go to him? What kind of bullshyt thinking is that. It's like saying Kobe is dominating but let's not go to him because everyone needs to shoot and get a feel for the ball. That is a stupid analogy. Going to Howard is not difference than the Portland going to Aldridge all the time. Now, they're going to Howard exclusively, they did do their own things but the other players just doesn't play well such as Mr. Harden. Another thing is ....sure the game is tied up at Half but that doesn't mean that going to Howard is not working. Do you EVER thought about how weak the Rockets defense is and why maybe the reason they're not leading at Half? Right, Mr. Barkley don't now shyt.
