Your right. It's a great simple play design. I just think he should force harden to give up the ball.
its like mchale had a freaking revelation on how to free up James Harden..remember when he tried freeing up harden using TRob on an earlier loss...Thats how you set a screen...
A beautifully drawn and executed game winning play. A balm to some of my doubts about Coach McHale's coaching ability. He's winning me over.
its not just that, look at the spacing on the floor. I'm glad they worked on that. The spacing the last two weeks have been god AWFUL. The offense had a lot more room to operate tonight.

Why did the Rockets play offense near their bench in the second half? Shouldn't they be playing offense on the Spurs side?
you can really tell from some of these angles that the toyota center is packed for the most part, but the seats that show up on the broadcast angle are always half empty. Can this be addressed somehow? Are these season ticket holders just not in their seats? Its every single game you'll see entire rows empty even though its a sell out, whats going on
I had to watch the Spurs broadcast (stupid Comcast *shakes fist*), and after Harden hit that shot Sean Elliot kept repeating the fact that Leonard should have cut Harden off from going to Asik. He was baffled that Kawhi would just let Harden get the ball back so easily. Then on the Spurs possession, they try something similar (Ginobli threw the ball in and tried to get a handoff from Duncan) but Beverley cut him off perfectly which forced Duncan to take a tough shot and the Rockets won because of it. That's why I'm a big fan of Patrick Beverley.
Yeah you're right. On the inbound, Kawhi angled himself so that he's between Harden and the basket on the inbound instead of Harden and Asik. Bev stayed right inbetween Manu and Duncan the whole way. Denied him the ball and broke the play. Here's the replay video to get another look at what you're talking about [youtube]dvlBvCS-wgE[/youtube]
i know manu missed, but that was another clutch offensive rebound given up be the small end of game line up
