Video on D'Antoni's 7 Seconds or Less Plays w/ the Suns

The Rockets have been one of the highest paced teams in teh league since Harden got here, ranking anywhere from 1-4 in the entire league. Last year they ranked 4th, but posted their highest number of possessions/48 minutes in 36 years.

Your post is an embarrassment, to yourself, your unborn children, and their unborn children. Generations of realists137 descendants, should you ever have any, will cower in shame due to your unabashed stupidity. In fact they will probably be liquidated by the AI bots due to algorithms or something.

I hope it was worth it.

 

We're gonna need a 4 and 5 that can shoot from 6 feet

 

My post was accurate though, Harden a lot of times does not travel across halfcourt in 7 seconds or less.

 

Sure. I'd say probably 4-5 times a game, AKA only a minimal amount of possessions. I imagine the coaching change to MDA will only lessen that, no?

 

It was not accurate. It is an embarrassment and a stain on society.

 

How many 8 second penalties did he receive since that is what your implying? Even in my upset state of the rockets season, I still managed to watch about 80-85% of the games and I don't remember getting one single 8second penalty all season long.

That's what your implying, unless your just not very good at construing your thoughts. I wonder if there is a stat that follows that penalty.

Anyways, you look and sound very unintelligent. We are all at a loss of time for having to read and respond to your nonsensical, clearly biased anti-harden agenda.

 

People just say things, anything, with no regard for its accuracy.

Not sure why, and its dumb as ****, but it is what it is.

 

You know, if he doesn't get across in 7 seconds but never receives an 8 second penalty, then my post implies that he tends to take between 7.0 and 7.9 seconds to travel across the halfcourt line.

You shouldn't accuse others of being unintelligent, when it's clear that you have some problem with decimal numbers.

 

Well then, it is 7 seconds. 7.36 7.89 7.99 are all considered 7seconds because you would not be rounding up for any reason. And to do so would be fairly illogical.

Please find any type of evidence of him constantly taking between 7-7.99 seconds also if you could. I would be shocked if it was more then 3-4 times a game.

We get it you don't like harden. But jeez you people make reading this board unbearable.

At this point I'd almost rather have Lin back so it could be a constant lof vs loh battlw again, and we could go back to appreciate the superstar that we have.

 

Dudes were +44 Lol

 

Damn, they made nearly every shot in that video.

WE'RE NEVER GOING TO MISS ANY SHOTS THIS YEAR!!!!!

Interesting Steve Nash trivia: He hit over .400 of his 3-pt attempts 11 years in a row and 14 out of the 18 years he played, and he's also #9 on the career 3PT% list. Despite all that, he never once led the league in that stat. In fact, he's the only one of the top 10 in career 3PT% to play at least 10 years and never lead the league.

JVG vs D'Antoni back in the day was an interesting battle of styles

 

Where is Steve Nash and where are shooters for 7 seconds or less?

 

I really like the movement of bodies and screens being set. Looks like a lot of open shots come in these sets. We just have to get a couple of players that can handle the ball and are decent shooters and passers. Surround James (and the other max (or near max) players to be named later) with that in this offense and we should look much better next season. Go sign Barbosa this summer. Looked like he still has gas left in the tank off the bench. He would definitely help the guys learn the nuances of the offense.

 

The 7 seconds or less Suns ran the most beautiful offense I have ever seen. I've been a diehard Rockets fan since 1st grade, and that was the only time I ever cared about another team's success more than ours. IMO, it's just the right way to play basketball.

James Harden is an amazing player, he's not Steve Nash and no one else in the league is either. If he could be more like Nash, while keeping his special ability to draw contact and finish around the basket, that would absolutely be enough.

Nash had that pure point guard mental clock. He knew how to keep everyone on his team motivated. If he missed a teammate when they were open, even if they scored, he would let them know that he saw them and to do it again. The suns might not have been known for defense, but they always worked harder than their opponent. They never stopped running the break, setting good screens, taking hard dives to the basket, and they're poor defensive reputation was not from a lack of effort--it was from having a few individuals who were just bad at defense and also a misunderstanding of pace.

If Harden is going to take on the Nash role, he's got a long ways to go in regards to tempo, sharing the basketball, communicating with teammates, and just generally being in touch with his teammates emotions and taking on the responsibility of keeping them involved and motivated.

 

It's clear the answer is JLin.

Capela is our poor man's first round sweep version of Amare
Marvin Williams is our poor man's first round sweep version of Marion
Dudley is our QRich
Harden is our Joe Johnson on steroids without the 3pt %
JLin is our rich mans Steve Nash
