    I want to see more of the all small forward lineup.
    Harden/House/Carroll/Covington/Tucker
    Looked great the only time it was tried.

    When James in the floor James needs a big man, it can help him to hold his opponent's defense in the paint area，which can enrich his arsenal and maximize the threat of his breakthrough. Now, every breakthrough will be blocked and he can only be forced to shoot bricks

    Start Harkinstein to play for 10 minutes in the 1st quarter. If we has a big lead, it can continue. If we lose change to small ball immediately.Remaining are small ball games

    Harden has lost the rope. He just simply does not know how to play basketball outside of isolation at this point. It is remarkable to watch how one dimensional he has become offensively. Harden wasn't even using Capela as a roll man much anymore. He just wants the switch.

    Still an elite talent, but coaching has failed him. He has no variety to his game.

    Yes.

    We can play with two ideas.

    When Harden is on the floor, we can play the center.

    When Russ was on the floor, we continued to play small ball team.



    The playing time of the center in every game will be about 10-20 minutes, I think it will be a good idea.

    Dude, I think it would be more comfortable for Harden to have a big man

    Relax, Harden will be just fine. In the games where they shoot 33% from 3 instead of 16.7% they will be in line to win games like this. The Rockets are playing a high variance style that allows them to beat better teams, and with that comes really gross games like this one.

    Inserting a big boy does not make them play harder every quarter.

    We have much to prove.

    The vision is not there when the defense collapses besides the over the top alley oop pass.

    Statistically, it's not enough possessions or cards on the table to expect small ball to get the team over the hump!
