I used to watch for a game winning shot,
but now I watch for the ~20-0 run.

Usually a cliffhanger, to see if it comes in the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd quarter.

Tonight was dissapointing, the Rox really didn't have their stuff together.
I mean, waiting until the 4th, cmon, trying to give me a heart attack or something.

 

plan b: keep shooting.

when you watch these guys notice no one, and i mean no one gets excited for a single shot to fall. they all fully expect a deluge.

 

if we had a capala clone, you know, to keep capela fresh, then we would of destroyed the jazz sooner.
capela early was crushing them, but you can't expect clint to run like a gazelle all game, rebound, block shots, set screens and jump above the rim every play. we need to clone him. hmmm, if only we had another tall leaper who could rim protect in training. can you imagine when we get two of these guys, maybe by finals? prob next year though. like maybe an asian one who can also shoot threes, that would be ideal. any ideas?

in sum: plan B is big guy underneath, but capella is overtaxed methinks.
didn't matter though, splash just lit em up tonight

 

and, geez had to wait until the 4th quarter tonight against the jazz for the deluge.

What the! is?! going?!? on?!@

its not like we are watching an individual player go crazy,
these are not individual preformances.
i mean, i know EG went bonkers tonight,
sometimes its Harden or CP3,
AND its not about that, its an onslought on repeat, as many interations as possible to instigate a deluge.

watch -- i suspect we get better at it.
we will stop thinking, and just iterate. defence and decision and points, and repeat, three, dunk, three, three, dunk,
didn't go it, don't worry, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, more interations during the game the better, and over and over...
this is flippin interesting. its different. -- i think we ended basketball. its over. we solved it.
people used to watch leapers and individual this and that. now its just our iterations toward the inevitable conclusion -- deluge.

good job harden, cp3, eric, clint, ariza, ryno, pj, luc, nene, tarik and d'antoni.
and touche, morey. touche.

 

After three losses in a row, I say w/o CP3, Luc, and/or Capela, we look mortal. Still good, but mortal even w/ Harden playing out of his mind.

Capela is necessary for inside game offensively, Luc adds that last bit of defensive pressure in combo w/ PJ, Ariza and CP3. And, of course, CP3 keeps the offensive pressure on while Harden rests, also facilitates a balanced attack.

Its the continued pressure that we can apply, rather than any one particular player’s elite play— its the continual defensive pressure, the 48 minutes of elite point guard play (where both Harden and CP3 get rest), the continual threes coming from seemingly all directions (multiple players), its the combination of all of this that eventually breaks the other team and we deluge to the tune of absurd point differential in a single quarter.

W/o CP3, Anderson seems unused in terms of his specialized skillset. W/o Capela, Harden’s interior assists are less of a threat, although still a threat. And when Luc and PJ come in together they change the game inspiring Harden or whoever else is on the floor to also crank up the defense. W/ just PJ it looks like just PJ playing defense.

I’m tired of seeing all our pieces play harder, try harder, and struggle. I want to see all the pieces mesh again, everyone do their thing, and just crack the other team. Get healthy Rox!
