Is defense our game?

Defense or offense?

  1. Scoring is not a problem. The real deal is to minimize points scored by the other team

  2. Forget D. Outscore the opponent by just a point and we win

    10 games in and we got a nice 8-2 record. And our defense has improved A LOT.

    That being said, here's one thing I'd like to highlight

    We lost to 2 good teams in GSW and MEM. Last season, we were able to beat the elite teams with our offensive game. In those 2 games against them, our offense was.....pathetic and our defense was....just horrible.

    So what do you guys think? Should we just go all out offensive against the good teams or stick to defense?

    The Rockets offense is offensive.

    You have to be able to make stops and control tempo to win championships. Rockets could not do this last year but they are trying to get better at balancing it this year. They are doing a good job, imo.

    Our two losses came against very good teams, one on the road after playing a back to back, the other without having 3 starters in the lineup.

    This team is solid, we are better defensively and better chemistry wise. Rockets will be fine, we will destroy Memphis when they come to Houston and will destroy Golden State with a healthy staff.

    Forth game in 6days. 3 away games, one of those in Mexico. Enough said.
