Unbelievable. Noah could not do anything against D-Mo tonight. Hating on the nba shop big time for not having the authentic alternate jersey in my size so I could get the #20. I love watching him play. No one in the league can do what he does offensively.
imagine if Dmo would work veeery very hard and after few years would develop that hook shot from 3pt line. And he could make 45% of those shots. I know that sound more like a wet dream for a casual fan but do you think it is impossible for him to develop that hook shot from 3pt? That would be more impressive than dirk fade away shot. That would be f***** amazing
LOL. What he should do is shoot free-throws with those hook-shots of his. I know Kareem use to shoot hook from about the same distance as the free-throw line. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j_4ukdSm6Iw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I know I would, along with many others here, love to see more of Dmo in the post and as a secondary focal point of the offense. I've noticed though he passes out probably more than he should out of the post. It might be that's whats asked of him to facilitate the offense or what's required in the offensive scheme but he seems to defer too much. Could it be that he's not fully confident enough yet to demand the ball in the post and work there more instead of passing out? I wonder if McHale himself even wants Dmo to take those shots more than pass out. It might be that he's just unselfish but Im starting to think he's not fully confident and comfortable being a focal point of the offense yet.
It boggles my mind that if a coach like Adelman used Landry as a post focal point, but McHale doesn't DoMo constantly. Yes, I understand that you have Harden but McHale is running Harden to the ground. The offense has gone cold? Well, just give to Harden or launch more threes. I miss Adelman's offense where he take advantages of mismatch. Like yesterday, Mil doesn't have anyone that could guard DoMo but McHale barely went to him. Luckily, Ariza and Smith was on fire from threes.
WTF? Dwight is one of the best defenders in the league even Joakim Noah is a big dropoff from Dwight, it doesn't mean Noah leaves a lot to be desired defensively, does it?
It's not a good place to start discution, but Noah is way better defensively than Howard. Howard can't guard perimeter nor is perfect at help defense, the only thing he is better than Joakim is blocks. Not even trolling, would've traded Howard for Noah right away adding all draft picks they want.
not entirely true. whether Dwight defends as good as he can or not, he is always a threat defensively and he changes many shots or denies drives just by being present in the paint
Probably the main issue with the way the Rockets run the read and react offense is that when there is an obvious mismatch that works they don't keep going back to it over and over until the other team proves they can stop it. Part of the issue lies with DMo though, he has a bad habit of passing out of the post when he has a small man pinned under the basket. Sometimes he is just too unselfish.
Your right, it's not a good place to start a discussion. Particularly after DMo has made him his b**** in 2 meetings this season. I would take a healthy Howard over Noah all day every day, 365 times a year and would rarely lose to him.
