    Should we use something else besides switch defense, a smaller dose? (boogie lineups aside).

    Replacing Roco with Wood will cause that.

    From my understanding Silas has devoted most of the last two practices to defense.

    Too many opponents showing PnR screen, only to have screener feign and then dive to rim practically uncontested.
    Can’t give up those easy baskets even at the kinder garden level.

    Still games have been close and on the road while being short handed. Role players tend to play better at home.

    Get more stops possibly allowing faster pace. Instead of inbounding so much from our baseline.

    Drop coverage and the hybrid D is too complex perhaps, the Rockets are thinking instead of attacking on defense.

    Or the starting 5 and death line up needs a shake up.

    House is a huge liability right now.

    And not just defensively.

    When teams call Stone about Harden, he should make them say those words. After all, it never was, “Houston you have a problem”; make them say “Houston, we have a problem.”

    Daryl: hey raph
    Stone: Hey partner...say the words
    Daryl: again
    Stone: yes, every time you call me
    Daryl: ugh....Houston, we have a problem.
    Stone: yeah, I noticed. So,,,how can Houston help

    I’ll wait to judge after Silas sets his real lineups but yes our current defense is turrible

    To be fair to the defence
    A lot of it is about combinations, and having guys 11-15 playing significant minutes isn't helping either

    Pretty sure it will come good as we get the troops back
