Well there are our second and third best player....I would hope so....and all we need to win the chip is better defense.
House has to hit those shots. . .. or be replaced by BMac Or the new Frenchman that is coming Rocket River
they dont have to play out of their minds. they just need to play well. playing well doesnt mean anything crazy based on their talent. if russ puts up 27, 8, 8, for example, that isnt anything crazy because he is capable of that. crazy would be 35 12 10, and i dont believe something like that would be necessary next to a player like james.
Maybe we aren't watching the same game, often he draws 2 but then since he is soooo far out of the play the 2nd defender sag back in and makes t more like a 4v4. It's not every play and you are right someone else has to make a god damn shot but it's a lot more like I said than you are letting on
and we haven't found replacements for Ariza/Moute either and that's why teams will most likely stay in most games against the Rox this season
The way the WEST is constructed this year, any team is going to have to play their absolute best to run the gauntlet.
going crazy could very well mean what your stating but it also means EG has to carry his weight too...this obviously includes Harden doing the same. That LA Clipper game intensity for 4 quarters when the playoffs get tough eith EG included. Rox can't put Russ in position to take all these shots because everyone else is bricking.
We are seeing in real time how the short rotations and poor roster construction are harming Capela and Tucker.
The free throw shooter may not step over the plane of the free throw line until the ball touches the basket ring, backboard or the free throw ends.
