    They went away from the lane pick and rolls... why?

    Another advantage of the lane pick and roll is that the refs are less likely to call that BS moving screen with all the traffic in there.

    The Rockets should be very happy, as many shots as they have missed at the rim...the game is tied on the road...the second half the Rockets will have so many 3 point shots...guaranteed...keep playing hard..

    Dwight needs to double a touch sooner so Aldridge can't get the shot off.

    I don't think you understand. Parsons at least plays defense.

    Lin can't defend his own shadow.

    3 picks and rolls for 3 good looks. If they start going away from it I am going to have a fit.

    Rockets playing good D on LMA. If McHale would have at least done that before now, we wouldn't be in the hole we're in now.

    For as much money Parsons was going to make after his season and good first half in Game 1, he is quickly losing his paycheck. Can't even call him an average defender now.

    Is this a serious question?

    BECAUSE IT'S SUCCESSFUL.

    When has Kevin McHale EVER stuck at abusing something that so obviously works?

    Go back to the Harden/DH pick and roll....... it was working every single time.

    Maybe Parsons can stick his hand in Batum's face rather than doing whatever crap he was doing on defense.
