Run Rudy Run

I've never seen it so deliberate. Against LA the Rockets wanted to play half-court exclusively.

If this is just one step in the evolution of the new Rockets, then I am fine with it because you have to have a good half-court game to win in the NBA. They can perfect their half-court play first and then add in the fast break.

If this is good enough for Rudy and his vision of the team doesn't include running at all, then I am pissed. Rudy has talked about getting up and down the floor, they have apparently focused on that in practice, but he hasn't mentioned it to them during a game.

In one of the post game interviews Steve mentioned that they want to show people they can play half-court instead of just running the floor. When does he think the Rockets were running the floor? 6 or 7 years ago when he was in 8th grade maybe.
