Spurts of good defense. Several possessions where Rockets force pacers to shot clock violations. Effort is definitely there. Their shooting is still lights out though.
I see why people don't box out . . .. . seems to be a automatic foul for players like Tate Rocket River
I feel we are kind of being unfair to House....but I really dont care, he was unfair to us in the bubble.
Just let Harden handle the ball and Wall provides some cutting or whatever. He is just not good as a ballhandler. He often just drives into the paint with the full intent of finishing, which leads to turnovers or unnecessary tough layups (that don't go in a lot of the time).
Not sure why he is forcing the drive to the basket instead of mixing it up with passes and mid range shots.
