    Need a better strategy to defend rr, why not just switch, still far better than half-ass double team and the rest of the team just stand there

    I’m not counting a team that can score 50 in a quarter out

    The Harrassment coming up the court is working.
    The Extra physical nature seems to be bothering them a bit.

    However Harden drives hard on them . . . if he seeks to score it is good
    his passing off with the physical contact is not as good.

    yeah this is reminiscent of the 1 wolves loss, but its at home.

    i'm not worried yet. the outside shooting will cool off, the inside scoring will have to be a halftime adjustment. still plenty of time for this team.

    I feared this would happen. They had Game 1 too easy, and I don’t think D’Antoni is the kick-them-in-the-ass coach needed. The Jazz came to play, and the Rockets stopped at IHOP on the way to the Toyota Center.

    D'Antoni changed the starting lineup that was fine all year and turned the bench into a weakness. Unnecessary tinkering.

    Laughably puts Anderson at the 5 at all on top of it.

    ALSO everyone in the media was giving tips on how to beat Houston. EVERYONE. No one does this sh-t to GSW. there are videos and multiple segments on how to beat Harden.

    The adjustment the Jazz made was to have Mitchell go full speed into the Gobert pick, who is rolling quick and hard towards the rim. This is drawing Capela out to effectively hedge on Mitchell, and the on-ball defender can't catch up to Gobert on the roll. It's taking our switching defense out of the game.

    ****. If Rudy has worked out how to stop James at the rim we are pretty screwed.
