How Mike D'Antoni embraced the iso, and why he won't stop now

[...]

As D'Antoni sees it, there is no defensive solution for the Rockets when they're rolling. He knows there will be occasional off nights, such as the extreme example of Game 3, but firmly believes there are no answers for stopping Harden and Paul.

"If we do the things that we do, they're not guarding 'em -- period. It doesn't matter," D'Antoni said during the visit in his office. "That's kind of the confidence I would instill in the players. Here's what we do. We do it well, we win. We don't, we lose. But they're not stopping it. Nobody's stopping it. This is about the Houston Rockets. It's not about who we're playing, and it's not about anybody else. It's about the Houston Rockets. We do what we do, nobody's beating us.

"There's nothing you can do about it. Sorry. You can try whatever you want to do, and it ain't gonna work. Not gonna work. The players are too good."​
