    This is exactly correct. Draymond is making a HUGE effort to stick to Capela. And it is having ripple effects within the Rockets offense. Dryamond can't freelance because of this.

    My guess is Green is going to start cheating. The key will be the Rockets being able to recognize that right away and make him pay.

    Warriors adjustments with Green situation and how Rox respond to it in game will be key for next game along with how well we make the 3 ball.

    We really need Luc back where he isn’t an offensive or defensive liability to make sure what happened with Ariza in game 1 doesn’t happen again or our chances to win games decrease considerably since Gordon, although being above average defender doesn’t have enough length. Ariza and Luc are the only ones that have lateral quickness/smarts and length for defense to be not a liability when switching. Luc opens up the lane and three point shot, very similar to how Ariza was playing in Game 2, and he’s been doing it well in later half of the season. If Ariza is cold from the floor or in foul trouble as in G1, then Luc can be a good backup plan. He also allows us to play 48 minutes of elite D on Durant/Curry/Thompson.

    I think this is easily countered by starting Looney. If I'm get I live with Yolo threes my harden n Paul with the no doubt make looney switch at the 3. From what I seen I think he is really capable of defending that ok like Capella. Those are the isos I think we don't won't. It was effective against teams like jazz n wolves. But I think that is a better scenario than Golden State letting Steph Curry get used and switches. N on that same note I think it helps curry out on defense. Cause u let harden go to the rim. Have Looney stay there like Rudy. Harden then must or cp3. Hit mid ranges. I can see this already. I bet anyone a case of beer they start looney

    The sad part was some of his missed layups didn’t even hit the rim.

    He may want to work on using his left hand. Teams are not going to donate points in a game of any kind., needs to be toughen up or have a really good plan B.

    He and Ryno have turned into pumpkins. Their confidence is completely shot. I don't know if I have ever seen anything like it. They look terrified on the court. They were seriously balling mid-season.

    Luc dunked hard on them Kings in a meaningless regular season tail game about to go down as the dumbest thing that happened to the Rockets this year.

    At least he tried to go up strong and dunk today. I love how they keep showing the replay of the block like Looney didn’t hit all arm and knock Luc to the floor.
