If the reason why Rockets don't win is because they DON"T PLAY DEFENSE. THAT"S ALL THAT IS TO IT. Warriors and CAVS are jump shooting team. The difference is, they can play defense when they need to because the 3's won't always be there. That's why people say jump shooting team can't win. What they mean is, teams that don't play defense can't win. YOU HAVE TO PLAY D Can you say that about the Rockets?
I mentioned that the Rockets need better defense, aka inside toughness. The problem is that you just want a reason to disagree with me, just for the sake of it. The Rockets are still getting knocked out of the playoffs until they change their lineup. Just keep disagreeing with me, it still won't change the fact that the Rockets aren't going anywhere.
The Warriors had Green, Bogut, which was better than what the Rockets have right now in the front court. Tristan Thompson and Kevin Love beat anything the Rockets currently have at the front court position. Saying that the Warrios had 0 inside game the year they won the championship is laughable and hope you're not serious. Of course the Warriors and Cavs shoot a lot of shots but when they need to, they know how to drive the ball to the basket and hit the 8-footer when they need to. The Rockets are no where near what the current Spurs, Warriors or Cavs are right now. In your mind, you want to somehow put the Rockets on some kind of pedestal as if they have a chance against the NBA's elite. The Rockets have ZERO chance of winning a championship this year.
Some of you Rockets fans need to be on some medication because you're delusional. I say that they need inside toughness/defense, you disagree. Then you end up saying the same thing about defense that I just said. Why repeat what I just said a number of posts ago? I'll tell you why because you guys are of the "Disagree Clique", where you disagree just for the sake of disagreeing. Imbeciles to the highest order.
believing that the warriors had an actual inside game that mattered is more laughable. all their front court players scored primarily off pick and rolls, dives to the rim, and garbage points, and perimeter shots. Just like Clev. Just like any other front court in the league basically. If anyone is fooling themselves when it comes to this, it's you actually
Exactly what I have been saying. The Rockets score by way of 3-pt/ at rim/ FT's. With Gobert/Favors they have the ability to erase/alter some points at the rim. They also possess enough athletic guys to distrupt the Rockets perimeter game. The Jazz present matchup problems across the board vs the Rockets. PG] George Hill presents some problems out on the perimeter (Harden & Gordon may be forced to play defensive out on the perimeter.....on an island). Bev will have to play big minutes vs Exum/Hill. SG] Burks-Hood-Joe Johnson have history of scoring big vs Rockets. SF] Hayward is a tough cover for any small forward in the NBA. Ingles can shoot lights out after hitting 1 or 2. PF] teams with PF's who can score hit Rockets at a specific weakness....PF defense (Ryno/Dekker). C] Favors started hitting 3's this season, as has Trey Lyles. Diaw is crafty and can hurt a team with his 3-pt shooting and passing. Coaching and injuries have kept that team from being in front of the Rockets in seeding; but they are still on the Rockets heels. The Rockets can beat them.....I just prefer another team face them first. Fortunately for the Rockets/league Burks hasn't been healthy all season.
