PnR wasn't the main reason they lost Game 5; missing open shots was the key in their defeat. 11/27 tonight vs 8/33 Game 5 from 3's. That's 5 more 3-pointers than Game 5, or 15 points difference! If you take away the last sec shot by Fisher, that 18 points difference!!!
Brooks is the come back kid. He was outcoached by Pop last season at the beginning but came back, outcoached Pop and won the series.
You mean the last game? Well, we had an injured Lin, sick Harden and out for season Delfino; that could factor into it also.
Brooks can't coach. KD just won't miss and too many good shooting role players that won't miss. It's crazy.
Honestly I don't think Brooks outcoached Pops at all. The Talent basically carried OKC to the win. Same as this year's game 6. In the end it wasn't adjustments, it was OKC hitting their shots and the Rockets missing their shots that sunk the boat. It wasn't some amazing strategic adjustment. The Rockets played the same offensive and defensive strategy in the 4th Q as the rest of game 5 and 6. The difference was which buckets were going in.
Could you give some reasons or examples? Surely, the difference between making baskets and missing baskets is the most important element in a game. But Brooks did do adjustment. He took out Perks and played Collison more than before. He played Martin more and Liggins less. Fisher played a more critical role and Thabo less. Nothing amazing but it was not bad.
