1) we switch everything on pick and rolls so it's easy for other teams to get a favorable match-up. 1a) our players aren't quick enough to keep up defending 1-1 or they stopped trying (even after switching on PnRs!!!) bc it's blow by every time and every one is pointing fingers after the lay up. 2) Dwight is horrendous on defense and offense now. He should never have the ball in ISO on offense and he should never be coming out of the paint on defense... He also isn't athletic enough to anchor a D anymore as he was never that intelligent of a player. 3) our players have too much freedom on offense and transition. You can't just keep allowing players like Brewer who have no right trying to create plays to keep running around like headless chickens trying to score when your team JUST made it down the court.. What do you think will happen when you miss???? No transition D and easy bucket going the other way, especially when.... 4) you allow your players, like harden, to play matador defense. 5) our point guards are useless.. I mean, great, PatBev is intense and tries super hard on defense.. But where's the talent?? Where's the actual great footwork on defense. Effort isn't everything; ask Conor McGregor.. You need efficient use of energy. That's what plays are for... 6) our coaching sucks ^.... Tailor your schemes to your players and punish them with bench minutes if they don't listen!!! Christ.. Call Pop please. [end rant] Who can watch this sh**....
Too cryptic, but actually I meant he's just a mental midget who gives up easily on plays and isn't quick enough laterally to recover in time on D.
I had to read it twice, but couldn't find a thing I don't agree with. All 6 points are correct. WP sir, you now have more knowledge about Rockets problems than the people who are supposed to solve them.
No offensive system No defensive system Only a few intelligent players Inconsistent shooters Poor defensive anchor One offensive anchor Moronic Coaching staff
We severely underperformed this year given our expectations. We haven't sucked and at worst have been mediocre. People with their agendas can speculate, but this is a season where pretty much everything has gone wrong. We went for consistency this year so the "can kickers" don't have a leg to stand on. And so forth.
No offensive system No defensive effort PF and PG are giant holes of suck Everyone on the team except Harden and Ariza have majorly regressed. On paper this team looked great. But somehow the entire squad except for Harden and Ariza are playing at replacement level. Even Howard is looking terrible lately.
So you just figured this out? Like it or not, JBB isn't going anywhere until seasons end. No point getting hot under the collar about it, it simply won't change anything.
one underrated problem is over-playing role players. bev, ariza, and brewer get too many minutes. and we have always had enough depth to give them more rest but until now, jb wont give everyone ont he roster a chance. one thing i dont get with clutchfans. how do they know understand when players are't being used properly? smith in detroit was used horribly, thats the sole reason why it didnt work out there. same thing hapening her eon a smaller scale. bev's not a starting pg yet he's playing 30-35mpg a game. ariza is a starter but not at 35-40mpg. we all know brewer. now in the toughest stretch of the season jb decides to experiment wtiht the rotation. had nov, dec, jan and feb to do that.
Yeah why in the **** do we continue to switch on every pick and roll? Terrible strategy when that is all you do. get JBB the **** outta here once the season ends
