[CBS] Rockets have a crazy plan to beat the Warriors (and it just might work)

So, just make 15 3's in every playoff game and we win the series? Completely doable

 

The problem is, the Rockets will have to beat these big and defensive minded teams before facing the Warriors.

 

Tbh it is the only way to beat the Warriors.

There 7-6 in game we're teams make 12 or more threes against them and 44-3 in games teams don't.

So we can gripe and say ohh it's not sustainable or it won't work when in reality the answer is yes it actually can and is the only way to beat them imo.

the and rockets can make 20 threes in a game we've seen that. They can also make 15 threes, we've seen that a lot more.

Since the Lou Williams trade they have made 52 threes in 3 games.

That's a ton.

The rockets have problems with big teams. The Warriors are not a big team and there not an elite rebounding team either.

We're the only team imo that has any shot at beating the Warriors in the west. Nobody has the proper personnel but Houston and Cleveland.

I think media and fans are getting caught up in what the Warriors did last year and how the Cavs were able to slow the game down and make it ugly. Well that worked last year to An extent but last years team didn't have Durant on it. Also does anyone really believe if you played that series over 10 times that the Cavs would win even once? I sure don't.

The rockets are doing the right thing.

Only thing the missing is a better shooting small foward. Ariza is nice and I don't want to lose him but he is the weak link in our offense now. He's way to inconsistent with his shot and is a bad offensive player that's amplified when he can't shoot threes.

 

Well, at this point, I think it's one of the logical plans that may work.

Roster improvement? Trade deadline is over. Bogut? I don't think he's coming to Houston (that's just, like, my personal opinion, man). And even if we sign anyone good, the Warriors is still a dream team.

If we only have a max of 3 games each series that we shoot like yesterday, there's a chance. Yeah, I'm saying "there's a chance."

 

That's basically the only way to do it. We have one star player and a bunch of shooters. Launch em up and see what happens. I just don't see how this team or really any team beats them. Lebron had an all time great performance to do it and I don't think Harden is at that level yet.

 

What if we shot 75% threes?

 

That's all you can ask for when your facing a team that has two guys in there prime and both have won mvps and also having the second best shooter in the NBA in klay Thompson and also having the front runner for defensive player of the year as well as being a Swiss Army knife offensively.

The Warriors have assembled a team that we've never seen before from a talent standpoint. You prob have to go back to the old Celtics with bi

 

Ryno, Gordon and most specially Ariza are still very inconsistent with 3s. It will be hard to beat anyone with Ariza as our starting small forward playing so many minutes. He is an offensive liability and close to another Corey Brewer.

 

That's right and it probably helped that Draymond missed a game. The warriors really are ridiculously loaded.

 

Riiiight. Like we will get to face the warriors. All I heard before the break was brutal schedule this tired legs that. Letting the pacers bend then over the table and blow their seed in their recital cavity last night has given me zero reason to trust we can beat anyone in a 7 game series. Maybe DENVER ?

 

GSW can make defensive stops. That's the difference between the two teams. Rockets can match up offensively, but have a problem giving up points in hurry

 

I think Ryno and Gordon are fine I don't mind them going 4-12 on threes because if they hit one more three and make it 5-12 that's very efficient and effective shooting even making 4-12 is effective.

But Ariza is who I'm worried about. He's been bad and hasn't shown any life from three for over 15 games now. I don't think this is a slump anymore and we might actually be seeing his decline right before our eyes.

I wish we had a guy that was a better shooter then him at the three. He could still start and get most of his minutes but there's times we're it's really effecting the team. Like last night against the pacers he was passing up open looks only to take even harder shots because they were begging him to shoot or make a play. He still can defend so he's not useless but he's a liability on offense.

This team is just fine tho. If we make a few more threes like just 3 we prob win that game by 5-6 points and everyone is happy.

I don't see us going 10-45 very often.

In my mind the fact that we had it at a 2 point game with 56 seconds left and we're shooting and rebounding as poorly as we were. That's pretty damn impressive.

The pacers player one of there better games and we're shooting over 40% from three with over 12 makes with the game in the crunch. They played good d and rebounded well.

We played our worst shooting game and they played a game better than usual and we still had a put back lay up away from tying the game with 50 sec left.

You have to look at it from a broad perspective. This game sucked and we still could have won. That's what good teams do. They have horrible games by there standard and still have the game within 2-3 points in the last few minutes.

Rockets are fine and there methods work it's proven we have the 4th best record in the entire NBA.

 

I know the Rockets are overachieving this season but to get to the next level and beat the teams above us, we will really need to get a better shooter than Ariza. He has been shooting bad since last season and as you said, this ain't just a slump. I cringe every time he shoots or tries to make a play. In fairness, Morey would probably have traded Ariza if other teams accepted him in a package. Four out of five players need to average over 36% minimum to win in DMA's system in my opinion.

 

hell yeah! bring on denver!

 

we gotta improve our d and rebounding asap before thinking about any series winning scenario against Golden State

 

ASK THE PACERS HOW IT IS WHEN THE ROCKETS TRY TO SHOOT 50 3'S. Warriors are going to laugh at the brick squad.

 

And Curry was arguably not 100% after DMo's butt sweat hurt him.
