Can the Rockets run their gimmick offense in the Playoffs?

This is the exact reason i made the jefferson/smith thread

the playoffs is a whole new animal

 

Our only chance is we are shooting close to 50% plus from beyond the arc. If that happens then we have a chance. Another key would be to play very little of the Harden ISO game that killed us against the Lakers and Suns.

 

Only if we had scola even Dragic.

Dat wizard

 

PnR is not gimmick
Getting out on the break is not gimmick

 

If that's your entire gameplan then yes its a gimmick offense

 

The result of the series is already a forgone conclusion. Our team is streaky and may be able to pull off one or two wins, but there's almost 100% certainty OKC will take it. What's important for the Rockets is that the team experience a playoffs environment... something rare for such a young squad. For most of them with the exception of Harden, this is their first appearance (including Lin, even though his Knicks made the playoffs last season). It will be interesting to see who steps up, and how the team plays overall against the likely 2012-2013 NBA Champions.

Everyone should keep expectations low. We're the underdogs. This team changed completely upon starting the season, and then again after the 3-way deal with the Kings and Suns. Our inconsistency is both a disadvantage and an advantage (keeps people guessing). The pressure is on OKC to not under perform.

 

I predict 80 % of the offense will consist of 3 pointers. No way we can outrun OKC or attack the basket with Ibaka and Perkins protecting the paint. Live by the 3, die by the 3, as they say.

 

Strong prediction.



I think we will run Iso Harden plays

 

Did we surrender after the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!!!!!
