1. Put Dwight on Blake. 2. Put Josh on Jordan 3. Rest Harden 4. Play harder 5. Play with energy 6. Teamball = Great Team Defense
Defense and hustle straight up won us the game we absolutely ripped apart their offense in the 4th, I can't believe old man terry stuck to CP like glue
Stop with silly turnovers. Defend, rebound, attack, assist, and do not let up when u have a lead. You can't pull a Clippers and let up.
I think these past few games have shown that the Clippers are completely gassed. The Rockets have to keep the pace up on their offense and make the Clippers work on offense. That's the biggest thing. Once the Clippers are tired, they are extremely beatable. Other than that, play hard. That's the biggest thing for us. Toyota Center must be rocking right from tip off.
During the 2015 NBA playoffs, the Houston Rockets have not had a "complete" game, Harden has not had "one of those" games......it happens Sunday. The total package, unwrapped on our home court, propelling us into the Western Conference Finals.
Dwight on Blake was a huge, huge key to this win tonight. I don't think Dwight can handle Blake the whole game. But.....Blake needs to see multiple looks, double from blind side, late double, attack of his dribble, switching defender, fronting, etc. Blake is the key to this series. If we can water him down we will win. Dwight and Smith vs. Blake and DeAndre is also the key to the series. Whoever wins that battle wins this series. I thought Smith was surprisingly effective against DeAndre. Paul had nowhere to go with the basketball. Matchups, matchups, matchups.
