No the Rockets need to keep playing with their identity, We are better are taking care of the ball. We are better are shooting FT We are a better Iso team. We take a lot more 3 pts Let them go with KD's 40 long 2 point jumpers Iso plays, but please do not allow others wide open shots or gift them extra possessions. Play Rockets ball, that's how we got HCA that's how we beat them 2-1 before.
What I have learned in this thread is that the Rockets should emphasize worse offensive players with less efficient plays. I'll relay this to D'Antoni for Game 2. Goodnight, everybody!
Yes, having other players have easy buckets allows 1. Other defenders on the Warrios to actually put in some effort and expend energy. 2. Ease some burden off Harden and CP3.
Easy baskets like open threes? We get them those so check. We don’t have the players the warriors have. We don’t have guys that can run around in motion catch on the move and either dribble drive or swing the ball to another open player. I’m sorry, the rockets don’t have the personnel to run a motion offense or the triangle and they can’t change who they are now.
They’re the number one passing team in the league, wtf are you talking about? Or does your anecdotal evidence carry more weight than what the actual numbers bear out?? The problem w our offense is exactly what others have said - it requires far too much effort from our superstar player while doing nothing to get our role players (who will be 100% crucial for us if we stand any chance at all) easy looks. At the same time, it lets the entire warriors team rest on defense! I mean for 15-20 seconds a possession damn near every single one of them are standing straight up just waiting for harden to make a move. On the other end we’re having to run around and chase on every cut and screen and movement. We’re making this as easy as humanly possible for the warriors and it’s stupid.
