They have an absurd amount of pts in the paint compared to the Rockets. Hot shooting ain't the problem. 30 pts to 12 pts.
The heat got about 35 points in the paint. They got to the lane nearly anytime they wanted. Has nothing to do with shooting. That’s just lazy defense.
Cp needs to pick up the energy in the second half . A lot of our guys played OK Heat made shots and we were not putting enough pressure on with our D If we hit them hard with some turnovers and get some fast break layups we will turn the momentum around . Clark looked ok . Seemed unconfident at first but eased into it a little bit . He doesn't quite have the cut/stay out at the 3 point line chemistry down yet . Another half to go . I'm not worried . Harden looked better
I had a feeling this was going to be some b.s. when Chris Paul showed up to the game in a Wade jersey. Leave all that friendly s##t somewhere else.
He’s 33 so you just need to be realistic. Gotta play him on one game on a back to back. That contract will shred the rockets to pieces
It is literally all defense with this team. For whatever reason, D'Antoni and his assistants have completely lost them on that end.
It's hardly surprising. Our paint defense has been awful this season. We have no height; Capela's our tallest player and he's only 6ft 10 (not including Nene).
