    On a side note anyone notice how in Game 7 the arena sort of had a redish tinge to the lighting? Pretty cool :cool:

    Why can't we run High Horns? Harden with the ball, Josh and Howard as the horns, that has alley-oop potential written all over it.

    And like Rudy T. used to say, "Run it again!"

    I've always like the very high (way above 3 point line) PnR with D12 and James, gives James a better chance to roll down hill and D12 and opportunity at the alley oop or put back on James miss.

    Is that what you ascertained from watching the video? The last couple of minutes he's debunking the excuse of being tired for the Clippers. Whatever, it was a nice breakdown vid. Rockets have to guard the high screen better.

    I saw that double high screen the entire series as their most effective play. They essentially scored every time. It was comical. Then game 6 they actually played it well, but reverted back to a poor contest in game 7...i expect to see a variation of this against the Warriors

    The clippers are better tho, we are just lucky.

    BTW he picked the clippers would kill us before the series too.

    high horns is a really effective play, don't know why they didn't run it more we had no idea how to defend it

    Probably too late in the season to install a whole new set as a mainstay (maybe they can try it a few possessions here and there), but that is intriguing with Harden as the ball handler. Harden going downhill is unstoppable.

    If this were a Clippers forum, people would scream "fire Doc!"

    I thought the most interesting thing was Reddick's defense on Harden. Everybody including me expected Harden to eat Reddick alive. But he has done a surprising good job guarding Harden without fouling him a lot.

    The good thing for us is, he didn't hit his shots on the other end. If he (and Crawford) did, we'd be in big trouble.

    "The Keys To The Rockets Beating The Clippers In Game 7" was his video title?!?!? That video was 99% what the Clippers did wrong, not what the Rockets did right!!!

    1.5 minutes in I thought we lost the damn game!!!

    The Harden's scoop as bad as flopping.

    I'm not even sure what it is you're talking about here when you say Harden's Scoop, but we're 4+ hours away from tipping off the Western Conference Finals, and you're more interested in bashing our star player than anything else. What does that say about you?? It's pathetic that we have "fans" on here that are happier when their bull**** narratives come true and the Rockets lose than when the team is successful. Go root for the Hornets or the Kings if all you want to do is complain and b****.

    His game is what making the Rocket lose; that iso/hero ball crap. Then he doesn't even play defense. I am Rocket fan but not a James Harden. Is that not possible?
