    Hmmm. I mean if Tucker just hit one of his multiple wide open corner 3s we win. soooo.... it's not just Harden's shot being on.

    I kind of agree. But why do this when u have the 1 seed in site. U shouldn't be hiding plays. Home court is greater.then holding ur cards especially when everybody knows what ur cards are. U think gsw dont know we gonna attack curry n boogie like we did in the playoffs against them.last year

    Exactly gotta be able to make more then 3 points man...I point to Robertson from okc...he couldn't shot a lick...was like down on d. But even he could give u 8 points a game as.a starter. I dont care how good tuck d is. 3 points a game ain't gonna slice it

    Who knows.

    I personally think this is a decision the players and coaching staff made. I of course have no basis for this, just what I felt from watching the game.

    I disagree with you on the hiding plays aspect though, you absolutely do that.

    We're not talking about Xs and Os that the Warriors could counter. We're talking about a fundamental breakdown of their entire defensive strategy.

    I'm happy to only bring this out in winning time when they're so used to getting by with what we give them.

    They know we're going to attack Curry. But they don't know where it's going to be from, who's going to be where, who's coming from which direction etc etc etc.

    They've won 3 of the last 4 championships, yet I'm more worried about playing the Thunder in the Playoffs.

    I truly believe the Rockets are the only team in the league who aren't scared by these P.O.S and are chomping at the bit to embarrass them when the time comes.

    Yea and Faried at the 4....man thats not a gonna be a good lineup in the playoffs its just not.

    What matters is the playoffs and Harden is injured, and Cp has his injury history. You really wanna risk that on one regular season game, I dont think so.

    Harden and CP are the iso guys, Gordon can do it too occassionaloly, thats it. Its mostly just our two best players breaking them down. Its taxing man.

    Ok ima help mda out. Start Clint Faried tucker harden cp3


    Steal things from ur peers have Faried start the offense(like draymond) obviously not exactly like him but what Faried is capable of. He seems to be a decent passer n dribbler nothing crazy just basic. A couple times not often


    I feel that lil wrinkle along would help.

    Bro, Harden going 2-12 is worse than Tucker 1-7, Tucker will contribute on the defensive end even if his shot is off. Harden is our best player, he is the MVP, he is gunning for the crown of best player in the world, I love Harden, 2-12 wont cut it.

    House at the 4 is better than Tucker at the 4. It's not even a stretch to say that.

    Tucker at the 3 maximizes his abilities and mitigates his weakness. Tucker's not the main reason we lost but his inability to rebound and going cold once again from 3 hurt the team.

    Gordan runs pick n roll.all.the time so does austin....I'm sorry I just have to disagree like literally even during this game Austin n Gordon did this. Austin gets a switch on the big n drivew or shots a 3 all the time. I'm not trying to be a dick n pick on u I promise..ask any other poster they do that alot

    Rockets current leaders in net rating:

    Nene +10.2
    Hartenstein +9.5
    Green +6.8
    House +5.4
    Faried +5.0

    3 of these players did not play because the coaches are morons, and Faried was playing out of position at center, because of the same reason.

    Not sure why you're telling me things I already know.

    They have nothing to do with what I said.

    Missing WIDE OPEN shots time and time again doesn't cut it.

    No.

    Rivers is pretty damn good at going one on one when he drives.

    Hmmm,I might be open to this, but if you think House is some game changer, thats a problem. Oh and 10 games of House at the 4 isnt enough to say hes better at Tucker at it...weve had many games of Tucker proving himself. It is definitely a stretch to say that.

    #FireD'Antoni

    Once again, the coach is a fraud. You're not going to win any championship if your coach is unwilling to adjust rotations and strategies in-game rather than contemplating them after the game. The bench lost us this game. Instead of trying out Danuel House or Gary Clark, D'Antoni remained his stubborn self and played the exact same rotations he always does, hoping eventually they'll play better. What kind of a fraudulent coach is that? Shumpert sucks ass and should not see another meaningful minute again.

    Ok, but you arent making any substantial points here....they are low volume iso players and it should be kept that way. You cant just say hey, lets spam this more and hope itll work. Harden and Paul are two of the best iso players in the league, they can do it. Otherwise its not that efficient. Lol its alright man, you're fine.
