    the ball and players will move around more but they will score less and win less. more importantly, tilman will save money.

    Ball movement offense only works if you have stars added with high end role players. The warriors and spurs are poor examples to use as a model for the rockets

    Any who love GSW or Spurs ball so much, you are welcome to it.

    Their respective bandwagons have room.

    Anyone who loves isoheroball, you are welcome to it. Nets bandwagon has room!
    Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, John Wall, Jimmy Butler, go stand in the corner, watch and wait!

    You need HOFers regardless of system. Doesn’t mean ISO ball isn't boring AF.

    The Spurs peak teams during the Duncan-Parker-Ginobili glory years . . . were all worse on offense than last year's 32-39 Spurs squad (112.4) and substantially worse than any Mike D'Antoni era Rockets team, even last year's broken down 4-on-5 squad.

    lol you would make my comment about passing.

    I’m talking about winning.

    Im sure we are gonna see some awesome passing the rest of the year. And we will suck doing it.

    Hence...All we need are a few HOFers and we will be set.

    More proof that using ORTG out of context is inadequate.

    Cool. He quit, wanted out, he’s gone, here we are.

    Are all you Harden fans following him to Brooklyn? Then you can watch isoheroball til your heart’s content.

    I'll probably see a lot more of Harden in Brooklyn, whether I like it or not, than the retreads and D leaguers the Rockets will be rolling with for the foreseeable future - most of the games I see are national TV games, and all the ball movement in the world is not going to help this dumpster fire that's currently pinning its hopes on the 2027 draft.

    The defense had a lot to do with their greatness, yes. But go YouTube a game from the Duncan Parker Ginobili prime era and tell me what you think. They epitomized turning down a good shot for a great one. The numbers aren’t there because they didn’t spam threes, and they played slowly and deliberately. Often times out of the post because they had one of the two best post players of all time. AND they played stellar defense. The modern Spurs don’t deserve to be in the same sentence with those teams.
