After watching the Rockets chase guys all over the court, through multiple picks, why not try playing a zone? Have to watch Korver, but I say we make them beat us from outside. Maybe this will take 'em out of their pick and roll BS.
You can't let Korver burn you. The last 2 games against Utah, Korver has burned us. If you can prevent Utah from making 3s , you can beat them. If they start raining 3s, we have no chance.
what about box and 1 with four playing zone and one chasing korver? I agree; we are getting killed on man to man by the physicality and individual play of the jazz. Maybe some zone (like the nuggets did today vs lakers) could throw them off just enough to swing things our way.
if we play box and 1, wouldn't they still set picks for korver? plus, they are big, all they have to do is load the paint with their pg at top and just pound it inside, that is why zones dont' work.
its better then chasing guys through picks and giving up easy lay-ups. and, if we're in a zone they can pound it inside all they want cuz the Rox will be swarming them from all directions. Anyone not named Korver (maybe Williams) I'd let shoot contested 3s all day
I still say force the ball from Deron's hand before half court, or make him take 6 or seconds ot bring it up court, then trap if passes to AK, Brewer, Korver, or whoever at the top of the key or outside the 3 pt line. And no you don't do this every time, but you throw it in there to mess with their timing. and force some TO's.
