Use the 5 bench players your not even using to hard foul Aldrdige that's 30 hard fouls. Spread them out accordingly. ATTACK THE FREAKING RIM!!!! Rockets are making Aldridge look like he's Superhuman. Jeremy Lin is a turnover waiting to happen.
This team is not going to send our players to go injure someone or "send a message". We play hard, we don't play dirty.
He didn't say injure... he said foul. And use them to disrupt his flow. Actually a good idea. Why isn't DMO on this?
Not to that extent... but every once in awhile, foul someone when they shoot if it's going in when they are red hot. Cool them down some. Shake them up. Rattle them some. If he knows he's going to not get fouled, he'll be more relaxed. And who says we shouldn't play a little harder? It got Mchale rings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7r6vXeOfyQ
Yes, lack of effort, defense and bad coaching is what the Rockets are having. Aldridge is good but not great. They way he is playing is due to poor defensive effort by the Rockets and bad coaching. They are making him look like he's the MJ of power forwards. I swear once the Blazers play in the second round against the Spurs, they will shut Aldridge down.
