Dwight isn't always on Lopez.. He's rotating out to Barnagni and Joe Johnson.. Lopez would drive past Yao every time. Yao never had the quickest feet and is very overrated for what he achieved. I'm sorry for upsetting any fans here but you don't get NBA awards for unrealised potential
I don't understand mchale refusing to make in game adjustments. Everyone brings up sitting harden when we were making a comeback in game 6 vs clips, but really that was a no brainier. It was desperation mode, those other guys were making a comeback. Almost no one pulls a guy off the court from that group. That out of the way, I feel like overall this is an area mchale severely lacks in. There are guys on the team that could help situationally and yet he refuses to play them when they have a good chance of coming in and helping in an area we are struggling in.
Because they're being raped on the boards. VERY frustrating to give up second and third chance points. Saps the energy on offense and defense
It'd be nice if Dwight/Capela didn't ALWAYS go for the swat. Sometimes just contest and go for the rebound is the way to go.
What a vomit inducing first half. No structure on offense and defense that would give up a 140 pts to a Chinese bball team.
Calvin Murphy just showed more passion in the half time show than I've seen from the Rockets this whole game.
