Who does that? People who speak on things knowing the full context of information. That’s who. People who speak on things that don’t have all the correct information are the worse kind and put their 2 cents in no reason. they’re definitely built to give Houston fits. Most of you seem to not know enough about their 3 guard lineup. Top rated combo in the entire league this year. Those guys will be giving Houston problems all series long. They have multiple guys that can hurt other teams at any time. Some of you have this foolish idea that this okc team isn’t dangerous. They’re led by a still elite player in cp3 who will definitely do his hw to get this okc team prepped, with plenty of motivation. SGA is a rising star in this league and will be a problem for a rockets. Schroeder Is no secret what he’s capable of when he gets going. The rockets are going into the playoffs banged up and not playing well at all. There’s plenty of reasons to be concerned. Cp3 doesn’t need to go against bigs. Hes been killing guys all season long big or small. Nobody cares about him not being guarded by a big. Teams have been scoring on this inconsistent mediocre defense all year long including most of the bubble
You are absolutely correct about the importance of chemistry to winning. Losing Ariza hurt Rockets more than just on the court. Ariza was instrumental in maintaining good stable relationship between Harden and CP3. He was vocal and very respected so he could be the swing vote between the 2 alphas.
This is so hard to ignore. It's just factual. I know we have the players on our roster to fight it but man... we have to do this strategically and with precession. Honestly that's my concern.
The casual fan has no idea what sga and Schroeder are capable of. The rockets obviously love to play small and welp okc has the guys to absolutely matchup with that. There’s a reason why that 3 guard combination is rated so high this year. Bc they’re absolutely a problem for other teams. All 3 can get their own shots at any time or create for others in their own way.
You seem to be missing the fact that I asked you the question multiple times... Nothing I said was out of context or inaccurate. Nothing here addresses my points... I'm a basketball fan not just a Rockets fan and I watch a ton of ball and I've watched this Thunder team.The Rockets not playing a traditional big against them is something that isn't to OKC's benefit for a series... I never said they're not a good team or easy so stop that nonsense and yeah CP3 can do his homework, but we know his game pretty well also... SGA is a nice young player... Why are you so confident in his performance and that of the other young guys unproven or inexperienced they have in the offs over Harden and guys who've shown more in postseason play? The Rockets overall have been a good defensive team in small ball in the half court(they're not a good transition team) and OKC doesn't have an elite offensive big man to really make us pay... they'll probably win the boards, but we can create bad mismatches on the perimeter if they stick with Adams.... The Thunder are a heavy PnR team... Sure CP can score on guards and wings, but CP thrives on the PnR when the big man drops back and he can play in space or hitting the roller.... That's where he's at his best and he's not gonna have those switches so it's gonna be a better more mobile defender more often than not... most likely Covington.
There it is, you’re trying to play the “la la la land shtick “ hoping it makes you come across as cool. this is a discussion board. Perhaps that’s lost on you. Discussion involves both positives and negatives. If you think I’m negative and shouldn’t say anything maybe you should have the balls to call clutch out as he has criticized the team as well. You obviously won’t because you’re a puss and have an angle in this whole thing lol people are DM ing about how much of a loser you are FYI.
OKC is 29th in offensive rebounding.... so one of our biggest weaknesses and areas they need to punish us is one of their weaknesses.
I’m not missing anything I told you from the beginning once you actually get all the information then I’d give you the courtesy of actual dialogue. You continue to duck it. Once again that’s a you problem. Not anyone else’s. Actually it’s big problem on this board. Speaking on things without actually even knowing all the information needed. That’s why respect many of the better known posters on here. You can tell they know what they’re talking about and aren’t just posting just to post. Until then you’ll continue to get what you’ve gotten
What kind of sad person says something like this? I guess I should learn not to personally attack people on here. I'm not attack you personally but from what I've seen you have not provided anything meaningful on here worth discussing in terms of basketball, and I told you that to your face, tell those people in Dms to come out here and say it then.
You do not discuss basketball that is the problem. All you do is piss and moan about the best player on "our" team, our 2x COY or our EOY GM. You provide absolutely nothing of substance, your specialty is snarks and vulgarity. On that front, I can give as good as I get as you are well aware. Come at me with basketball talk if you have any balls, that includes all those tough guys DM'ing you too. LOL You always skitter away when your inane points are rebutted. Speaking of skittering rodents, has the ship sunk yet Nostradamus?
What did I speak on? What did I say that was incorrect? I'll wait... I asked you a question and you engaged in dialogue multiple times pretentiously not answering the question... And you still can't address a single point.
Another post addressing nothing and not a single was point made.... So far from you we know... Houston will win in 7, but not if Russ misses most of the games, then no way Houston wins.... excellent analysis backed up by substantive points like.... OKC is dangerous... Cp3 is elite and prepared.... SGA is a rising star in this league and will be a problem.... Schroeder is no secret what he’s capable of when he gets going... A well of knowledge you are good sir.
Yup. Until you understand the initial points instead of having things go in one ear out of the other you’ll continue to get the same. See you next week.
Look I love our team but a healthy spiteful amd and vengeful CP3 is scary. Sga and Shroeder have picked up their games and we have a bunch of guys right now that are not hitting their shots! Sorry but Harden Alone will not just carry this team. From the way EG has performed, Tucker not hitting his corner 3's. Robert Covington not hitting his shots, I am worried! I am really worried that I think if Harden is burnt out by game 3 that Cp3 might take this series in 7. If Harden wants to win this battle he needs to win in 5 or it is going to be a rough one.
