    Spurs does not defense harden and double team his teammates. This is spurs strategy in Game 3. As a result , houston assist reduces and their teammates shoot poorly. If spurs uses this method again in game 4, how can houston win? Shall Beverly gives more assists?

    I'd let Gordon run the pick and rolls from the corners. He runs it differently than Harden so I think that will affect their defense.

    Easy guys, guessing English isn't the first language.

    If your theory is correct, if Harden is really an MVP he should be feasting on open shots.

    Harden needs to finish at the rim or take the mid-range

    Not sure what you talking about. It has been the other way around. Everytime Harden drives the ball the Spurs have a guy rotating to help to suffocate Harden's ability to finish around the rim or stop the kick outs to the shooters.. The Spurs from game 2 changed their entire game plan to stop Harden's drive and Dish to the 3 point shooters or the lobs to Capella.

    Seriously not sure what are you watching?. Even Pop said as much. Our help defense has been good.

    No. And they don’t have Dedmons or David Lee anymore.

    Capela won’t be as outnumbered, if Nene is out nursing an injury. Back in Black is back.

    Bertans and Rudy Gay have to make up the difference for SAS
