Breaking Down the systems of the most successful NBA teams

Draft suburb-raised preppy kids, clean cut, children of NBA players if possible, that project the kind of image the NBA wants for its stars.

Win the ref battle. GG poor black ghetto kids.

Steph Curry putting up video game numbers is a giant FU from the NBA front office to Michael, Kareem, and anyone else that would fashion themselves in the argument for greatest ever. The NBA really did it: they finally fashioned a superstar that every NBA fan can identify with, because he looks like them. Particularly the kids.

 

Or a smart coach would integrate post ups, moving off the ball, and catch and shoot into his game so he's not dribble dribble dribbling the shot clock down all the time because that's all he wants to do to the detriment of the team and the growth of other players.

 

We the Rockets ain't not any defensive scheme

 

The Rockets have one of the better offenses in the NBA. Your whining rings hollow.

 

No, that's just pace and moreyball's bull**** offense. They're 8th in pace, 22nd in assists, and 28th in turnovers. If it weren't for the **** ton of free throws they shoot we might be the worst team in the league. Of course they're not going to shoot those free throws in the playoffs unless someone keeps sending Dwight to the line.

Over the course the game, they can throw up 30 three pointers, run around like there's a fire drill going on, shoot the league average and make it work for a while but at the end of the game they've got nothing because the end of the game scenarios aren't run around like a chicken with your head cut off situations. They're situations where you have to put your best players in the best position to score as easily as possible and having Harden dribble around to 2 on the shot clock isn't good offense.

 

All that matters is points. That's what offense is supposed to provide. Who cares about assists? The Rockets' offense is good enough, it's the defense that's bringing them down. Although I'm sure that's somehow the fault of McHale in your mind also.
