[NYT] Whatever James Harden Needs, There's a Rockets Coach for That

Rockets have coaches like rich people have fitness trainers.

Still, It ain't gonna stop your fat ass from chowing down a buffet or stop Harden from running isolation to death.

 

All those iPads - we’ll need some for free agents this summer

 

Rogers is trying to see the whole court from that seat? Ridiculous. The guys who need to see everything should be up high, like in football.

Also, I feel for Vanya. I've spent this whole season watching our defense. You get used to spotting breakdowns.

 

Liked the article!

 

More interesting than the article is the disappointing display of ignorance on the part of the 'basketball fans' posting comments on the article.

I suppose it's just normal human nature, to be so ignorant and confident at the same time - Dunning Kruger effect - so in a way it's understandable. But it's still disappointing.

 

All these different coaches we have, and yet none of them were able to figure out that Capela shouldn't be playing 30+ minutes against the Warriors death lineup. Either that or they're too scared to give ideas to D'Antoni and Bzdelick. Useless

 

D’Antoni makes the final decisions. It’s clear as day.

 

I read this last week, then started laughing that they had a coach focused on finding plays after a timeout.

Cynical view: Damage Control
Realistic view: We're too predictable
