For the first quarter, put 4 guys on defense (playing some hybrid zone man) and 1 guy cherry picking at the opposing FT lane. See what happens.
I'll post it again Wow . So immature on both of their parts . And also massive failure from a coaching perspective to get these guys to focus and sack up . Shaq and Kobe didn't Like each other , but in the playoffs they could focus and play together . Dwight has declined a lot . James has to really work on some of his flaws this summer otherwise he will fall . But that being said , if both of those guys are on and playing hard and communicating we are a much better team . Neither is willing to sacrifice for the sake of the other and the team as a whole suffers . Why can't a coach get these guys to buy in . H and H don't have to lead , as long as they are willing to be lead . Ego's , decline , and immaturity are a nasty combo . There are many different ways in which both sides can be appeased , get their numbers , and have team success . The fact that this hasn't happened but in tiny spurts neccetates breaking it up . How can these guys not put aside differences for a ducking playoff series ? They are so quick to see ," I told you so ." Child like mindset . The opportunity is right in front of you morons . You aren't gonna have a better chance next year . This is the king in front of you . We say GS is arrogant but what about our own hubris ? ****ing p*****s .
I saw the post-game interview with James. He agrees. Dmo is less error prone than Beasley, Brewer, or Smith. Let's not over think it.
This much we know. JBB will make adjustments. He changes the rotation pretty much every quarter. There is literally no way of knowing what combination of players will play. Not that it's going to make any difference.
Not to pick on you , but most of us don't need hindsight to make that call . It's absurd not to give the starters a chance and to see how it goes and if you can make adjustments from there . JB is one of the few people on this planet that thought starting Brewer was a good idea .
Rockets have to literally play a perfect game to win. They can only have very minimal mistakes. Each player has to play to his potential...something GS players do day in and day out. The Rockets can't just play great for spurts, either. It just doesn't work because GS is so good about capitalizing on the mistakes.
Move without the ball Don't wait until 3 seconds to shoot the ball Go with a game plan like feed the post until it doesn't work Feed the effing post and get bogut or green in foul trouble Attack the basket and yell really loud like green does Rebound with intensity not like it's going to fall into your hands Work without the freaking ball stop standing around waiting
+1 emphatically to START CAPELA. Yes they won't be able to guard any 3 point shots, but they aren't doing that anyway. Our only chances are on the offensive glass and interior defense and for GSW to adjust accordingly, to get them somewhat out of their comfort zone. At least give them a chance, these Brewer lineups just give us no shot whatsoever.
