    Typical McFail quote about energy and hustle. The players are like give us some ideas to win these games. Nope, I've got nothing guys, just try harder. At what coach, ummm I don't know!

    Depends what you mean by "more" or "less". If we have a post threat, no doubt, post it up more, but ... I am not so sure about Dwight's floater

    I have no beef with the 3-point philosophy. It's coupled with being aggressive and getting to the rim, which results in high % attempts or fouls. If you're getting blocked a lot then that's technically a positive indicator.

    We're completely ignoring the paint. No one attacks Jordan (let's be honest, only Harden is capable) and we shy away from the post-up for long stretches.

    The Rockets normal gameplan, to me, basically equates to running the football (rim shots) to open up the pass (3's). Instead we're trying to create space in the paint by becoming a pass first team.

    We're running draws out of shotgun on 3rd and long instead of powering forward early-on.
