Who will be Rockets best above the break shooter vs. OKC? This bears watching as this player(s) will determine how tightly Thunder will pack the paint.
Let me just say... With Harden playing as well he does on defense nowadays, guess who that energizes on the court? The entire freaking roster. I'm not surprised to see these other guys coming up huge in the wins we've had on the COVID restart. Harden being a defensive juggernaut against the opponents is a big fire-starter that can't be stressed enough. Yet again, we have placed so much on the shoulders of James Harden. Honestly, people should be happy with him just doing 60% of the work we give him.
That sounds logical, and the +/- with Schroeder out confirms your point. I am personally concerned with Gallinari FIBA style, I believe if they are able to survive defensively with Gallo at the 5 we could potentially be in trouble. His european style is the only one that I think could make our defensive system look in trouble.
