    I think they were talking long term as well, like over weeks and months or during a playoff series.

    Yeah, but the small vs BIG works BOTH ways.

    The bigs may have the advantage in the paint, but if we've been able to
    switch and double/deny in the post and force them to kick it back out.

    On the OTHER end, our smalls are going to have to run their bigs into the ground.
    It's the little fish that swim circles around the BIG fish

    What I've noticed so far

    - The conditioning of the Rockets must be top in the league. Boxing out/playing the passing lane/playing a motion offense will be exhausting.
    - We must run our opponents off the 3pt line.
    - The players look more engaged and I think this will benefit players like House will shaky confidence
    - We still need the lob, hopefully Morey can find someone cheap to fill this role.
    - Covington has already impressed me with his defense (except the Rondo drive) he's very active with his hands
    - Russ/Harden/Ego/Rivers must continue a wave of rack attack basketball
    - If we play with tenacity on the defensive end (tighten up switching and boxing out) we will be deadly.

    I’m going to be watching House on the defensive end closely in the 2nd. I really want him to take that next step.....we need him to do it.
