Outside of the refs robbing us, MDA needs criticism for bringing in Nene late in the game

    Nene played well. He earned whatever playing time he got in game 1. We just need to play hard steal a game on their court.

    Can't blame him. Capela sucks the whole game and we need some rebounding.

    I would argue he did it perfect. He knew going small was the right move but we were getting killed on the glass. So he went to Nene.

    Capela had a better chance of defending Curry than Nene on the perimeter

    Sorry . . .. the Rockets outplayed the Warriors
    The Refs took the game

    Basically what you are saying is that the Rockets have to play mistake free basketball
    meanwhile the 'greatest' team assemble is allowed to **** up left right and center and gets ref help
    and
    it is still the rockets fault.

    This is why we got Kenneth Faried. His help defense has its moments, but he moves his feet better than Nene & also rebounds. It was a bad move by MDA

    Not really. The refs handed GS the game, I believe this. But thru all the foolery, had MDA not made that mistake we probably still win. I'd rather take my chances going small than have one of best shooters in NBA history guarded by Nene, in a CRUCIAL part of the game

    I wasn't trilled with the move cause it was obvious Nene would've been suddenly attacked, but can't even blame Mike, pretty sure we lost two consecutive rebounds after two missed shots by the Warriors, and yes, Nene was playing better than Capela so...

    I think there need to be exceptions to the switch everything defense. Have the defender go over the screen and Nene/Clint defend the rim, when that forces the drive.

    refs allow green to scratch harden eyes without call
