This is about the offense. The Rockets’ defense is doing enough to win the game.
This game is winnable if the Rockets stop playing tight on offense. Stick to the defensive gameplan of face guarding Curry and making the...
The Rockets wouldn’t be in a game 7 if it weren’t for VanVleet’s play in games 5 and 6.
The defensive gameplan is solid. 51 points is fine. It’s the Rockets’ offense that needs to get going. 39 points isn’t winning you any games.
Stop leaving Buddy Hield. He has it working tonight.
Kick Draymond out of the game before he hurts another player. How long is he going to continue to get away with this nonsense? There’s a...
I don’t think so. That said, Curry should have fouled out last night. The fact they gave Butler a foul on Adams at mid court when Curry fouled...
If Cam Whitmore wants to remain a Rocket this summer he better have the exit interview of his life with Ime Udoka after this season ends, and he...
I agree he needs to become smarter in those situations, but I’ll live with mistakes from overaggressiveness when you bring the defensive effort...
Tari is a very good defender. There’s a reason he rates highly in nearly all defensive metrics. He just is like a young puppy that plays with too...
Correct. He’s all about getting his and not doing what’s best for the team on the court. He’s much closer to being out of the league than having a...
I certainly would have challenged it if I was Udoka. Curry didn’t jump forward, he jumped directly to his right.
He doesn’t have one. The Rockets are too deep and he doesn’t play the necessary way to have a role on a contending team. Hopefully, he still...
Cam Whitmore isn’t going to have a role on a competitive team until he consistently gives effort on both ends of the court and doesn’t shoot every...
You saw it tonight. Curry drew a foul against Tari Eason by jumping to his right on a three-point shot. You can definitely argue whether the refs...
Udoka was pissed after that dumb foul on Butler to end the first half, for one thing.
Agreed. Brunson, Curry and SGA know how to lean their bodies into defenders, create all the contact, and still get the call. Brunson, Curry and...
I agree that Jalen can finish through contact when he’s confident and playing well. But, right now, he’s not fighting through contact. Instead...
Agreed. I also think he could learn a lot from Jimmy Butler when it comes to selling contact on drives.
As he gets older and more experience, Tari will learn to not have his aggressiveness used against him as much. That aggressiveness is why he...
