yes you are right... if the situation is right.... you want Harden ISO and Howard with his back to the basket... with Harden you want him ISO within the flow of the game...at at the end of the game when the Rox need points... just not so much ISO when it gets to the last few minutes of the game... the Refs will swallow their whistles... thinking we gave this guy enough breaks throughout the game already
with Howard you want him back to the basket with a player who he can move... if its a player he cant move... then you do PnRs have Howard moving to the basket....because no way the center will be able to keep up with him...
It would be a sweep by the rockets, the suns are a nice surprise but let's be real they could easily be out of the playoffs by season end. The rockets on the other hand have won 33 games and our 3 games out of 2nd place HC advantage till WCF, that realistically in our grasp. We could easily be in 2nd now with a few Ls early in the season that we should have won. This team is lethal and could be the 2nd best team out west by season end. The defense has really improved and I think it will only get better. The offense is starting to click and Dwight's figuring it out every where. The rockets our pointing up suns pointing down.
