From my understanding Silas has devoted most of the last two practices to defense. Too many opponents showing PnR screen, only to have screener feign and then dive to rim practically uncontested. Can’t give up those easy baskets even at the kinder garden level. Still games have been close and on the road while being short handed. Role players tend to play better at home. Get more stops possibly allowing faster pace. Instead of inbounding so much from our baseline.
Drop coverage and the hybrid D is too complex perhaps, the Rockets are thinking instead of attacking on defense. Or the starting 5 and death line up needs a shake up. House is a huge liability right now. And not just defensively.
When teams call Stone about Harden, he should make them say those words. After all, it never was, “Houston you have a problem”; make them say “Houston, we have a problem.” Daryl: hey raph Stone: Hey partner...say the words Daryl: again Stone: yes, every time you call me Daryl: ugh....Houston, we have a problem. Stone: yeah, I noticed. So,,,how can Houston help
Relax guys half the damn league playing bad defense to start the season its two games lol and only half a team with little to no practice stop crying so much on this page
To be fair to the defence A lot of it is about combinations, and having guys 11-15 playing significant minutes isn't helping either Pretty sure it will come good as we get the troops back
