It doesn't matter they'd probably still lose. The thunder's offense is like a Ferrari and the rockets are a BMW one series. The one series may be nice and flashy but it will always lose to the Ferrari. The thunder can play fast, and they play fast better than us. That's why this match up is so horrible. They should have won the phoenix game!
Win or loss is not important. Sure, a win is much nicer than a loss, but do you even believe that Rockets at game 1 was playing good basketball? Do you see McHale has a system where the players can carry out?
He has a system and they carry it out most of the time. However the system crumbles against a good team like the thunder, and we don't have anything to fall back on. Hopefully after the summer he actually creates a playbook, and we can have set plays that we go to to generate offense. I'm also hoping we sign or trade for a quality post player and a good back up to James. If the organization is serious about winning they need to go out and get players that complement James, or else its just gonna be the same story next year.
D'Antoni's one dimensional system doesn't adjust well to the personnel which is why it wasn't working in LA even with a team of HOF players.
