Yeah I saw that too, he mailed it in. Either he is injured or he is giving up on the system which I'm not sure Mchale has one at this point.
The thing is, we used to pass the ball around and take an uncontested open 3. Who can still claim that we are doing the same? I think going for a 3 instead of a midrange shot is not really the better option when your 3 is contested while the midrange shot is wide open (meaning pass the damn ball) I think Morey should clarify this for the coach and the players.
It was so pathetic Hubie Brown was making excuses for Harden's non-performance. "Oh, he had an ankle injury two games back and he wasn't even supposed to play vs. CHI." He was even coaching as he commentated. "No, no, they shouldn't do that." "Harden should have passed the ball right away to Howard." He was getting agitated watching us commit mistakes over and over again.
Howard changed all that, asik & smith were the best in the business at coming out to key to set screens. Harden or Lin could then drive to score or kick
He also was calling out Howard every time a Pacers player attack the rim and Howard didn't jump or make attempt to block or alter the shot. LOL
Rather than one sentence, I'm going haiku: Indy came to play Rockets banged up not ready Blowout no surprise
