http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/teamstats/_/sort/defensiveEff/order/false why dont we play D anymore ???? i just dont understand it. what the hell happened ?
Well to be fair, Charlotte is also one of the worst, and I think they're widely considered one of the better defensive teams in the league.
Are you watching the same thing as I am? The dudes been blocking and a high percent of his shots go it. He is far, FAR from the problem. thank God you arn't the coach or have anything to do with decision making for the team.
i think thats BS... the rockets have still been a good defensive team in past years with brooks getting significant minutes. we have also still been a good defensive team with yao ming out of the lineup, so what gives ? our frontline used to be hayes and scola and we still locked down most teams.
BROOKS AND MARTIN 2 guards who can not defend... are too skinny... Battier - good but in decline... scola - average defender yao - recovering... = no defence Solution starting lineup Lowry Martin Battier Scola Dampier
It all comes down to personnel. Yao Howard McGrady Wesley Sura Yao Hayes Battier McGrady Alston Yao Scola Artest Battier Alston All of these teams have one thing in common. Size, speed, and toughness. The Rockets lack the size to stop teams from scoring at will. They have the quickness to beat teams offensively, but they don't use it the entire game.
It's because Adeldummy refuses to play Steve Francis. Mark my words, if he continues to play favorites with Hayes and Jeffries, he'll be fired soon.
I hate to mention it, but at one point you have to ask why was Adelman fired? How long is it gonna take before he fully integrates his system. I'm patient and he deserves at least another season.
We need to hurry up and get this act together or it will be a long season... Our power ranking is 18th...
our defense sucks because RA always tells players to play your way, use your advantage. He's a players' coach, don't you know that?? That's why the main focus of AB and KM are offense, not defense......
