Charles is right though, our perimeter defense flat out sucks a lot of nights. Augustin and Hinrich just playing shoot around right now on open shots.
Because Noah was in the paint with the ball against Beverley, Rocket's defense had to collapse to help
We also have no midrange game. Our other players just camp the 3 pt line with little movement. Looking at those stats it's pretty clear how much morey discourages midrange shots but he needs to wake up if this team is going to win a ring any time under him.
Kenny - Lin doesn't get enough credit because he got too much during NY days, he's a solid player can do a lot on offense, beat you different ways Chuck - Houston was a rondo away from being a top contender, rondo, harden, Howard are all studs. You can plug players around them and WIN.
Dude. When asked what they need to be a contender he just talked about a Rondo trade that won't happen, and would be a terrible fit with Harden if it did. Guy is a complete tard.
what you don't understand is that they are getting closer shots they are just well defended. They aren't getting open shots because they are to busy pump faking/driving and not taking them.
You should start a thread on this. Oh wait you already did. Stop advocating for shots with a lower percentage of getting points on the board.
<br> Yeah our perimeter defense is ass. But I think it's kind of deceptive. The pace the Rockets play is very hard to maintain over the course of an 82 game season while defending tenaciously when you are playing 40+ mins a night like Harden and Parsons do. In the playoffs it seems logical that these issues wont be as relevant. We'll see though.
