You can win if one of the players has an offensive limitation, just think of Rodman and Ben Wallace. But on the defensive side not so much so I agree with you in general, just wanted to point out the difference in the importance out of the 2 sides. On the topic, I also think, that Harden has to play defense if if he ever wants to win a ship, but I also think, that he needs time and perhaps in some years a coach who would held him accountable for his lack of effort. Not so sure how such a coach would affect him right now, maybe it would cause him to become a rich man's version of the J.R. Smith's/Sprewells/Melo's of this league..
Didn't you get the news? Howard hates screening other players. That's why he looked so disinterested last night. He prefers posting up. PnR is the 3rd preferred play on the team.
16.6% of the Rockets points are scored using the P&R. It is a big part of the offense. The only category it falls behind is the spot up and it is tied with transition offense. They rank #1 in PPP of the P&R.
