    For once the Rockets milked something that was so obviously working. The entire team finally said "F Threes, this right here is working."

    Once this team had a legit Post presence that demanded a double team...the offense literally took off...Kudos to JB and/or Finch for that decision.

    Now this play needs to evolve. Better action...high low from the post...etc.

    The used Harden in the post a lot before all he did was turn the ball over, look for a foul that the Refs didn't call or brick on a mid range step back.

    But it was Brewer making multiples 3's that got the team back and send it to O.T.

    It started when the team had a legit threat in the post. Most star 2-guards only resort to this with age...But Harden should realize that his triple threat position in the post can be equally as devastating. Its like Harden learned something new that he can now rely on to win ball games. His ability to hesitate...got his defenders biting so hard...

    This was the whole reason we won, James in the post changed the entire game. Seriously, if McHale would have ran James in the post against the Celtics he would still be our coach right now.

    Its perfect because average SG's aren't strong enough to handle him, yet he's a great passer so when he's doubled he can successfully make the right pass. Also, unlike Howard, Harden is actually a threat in the high post. Its a great go to move for the Rockets and I'm so happy they found it.
