    James Harden in the post is great because it is an EVOLUTION of the Rockets offense and not the same STALE offense of last year. The offense that other teams have figured out.

    Another situation where Harden can draw fouls or pass out of the post. Rockets offense needs to keep evolving.

    Man you notice at the end of regulation with HOward guarding the inbounds. The minute the ball goes in, howard rotates to the shooter as well. TERRENCE WATCH THIS PLAY AND LEARN!!!

    This has got me to thinking. Whenever we go up against GS, the plan is to make Curry work hard on defense. It's not enough to make him chase you around through screens. His body is used to that. It's not enough to face him up. He can sag off you and let help defenders come. It's key to post up Curry. It's one of the few ways you will actually get to physically bully him around by bumping on him. If help comes then you've got your open man on the court. That means it's crucial that Beverley and Lawson develop some type of post game. Lawson could easily do it from what I've seen. Beverley on the other hand probably not. Of course this can be somewhat negated by zone defense, but it's just a thought. I like it mostly for being able to body up Curry and put some hurt on him.
