Rebounding killed us again.We also needed another wing defender. We needed someone on Hayward outside of a declining Ariza.
It's common sense. If teams contest us on the 3 and we only make 7 or 8 what the hell else do we have? Stellar defense? No. We are a gimmick offense that when it rolls crushes people. It just can't roll 4-7. Unless the opposing coach is jb and doesn't adjust.
I really don't understand Houston. They gotta understand these teams playing with a purpose to win. We came out flat, then wanted to pick it up late. I just don't know with this team.
He's old and banged up. Daryl Morey said he likes the big rotation as is. Even though the Rockets can't rebound or defend. Even Scola would help. 2nd quarter in the penalty for 7 mins. Took Lou Will out and everyone started jacking 3s instead of being aggressive. The team lacks awareness of game situations.
Moreyball gets exposed against great defensive teams. Anti-Moreyball strategy works. Contest threes, defend the paint, force us into midrange shots. Only a few teams have the personnel to do this but those teams are who we will meet in the Playoffs.
Jim sukced too 0/8 from 3 point land. Broke the ALL time regular season turnover record First game in the season to not have at least 7 assists
Because they're cocky and lazy. They think their offense will win them games, so they slack off at the defensive end.
Real contenders don't come out and piss away two important games like the past couple of games. You have to win at least one of these past two games.
I heard they have a guy by the name of Gobert that has like a 8 ft wingspan and can really move..... That might have made rebounding a challenge.
