    If you're referring to rebounding in general, yes, we have a problem there. However, we're 11th in offensive rebounds

    so yea, it matters when we're bricking shots and getting the ball back only to now have 14 seconds to work with as opposed to a full 24

    That's not going to work with our current players.

    1. James Harden's stamina will not hold up to such an offense. We all saw what issues he had when it was just him as a one man show before CP3 arrived.

    2. Aforementioned player (CP3) would become that much more injury prone due to the amount of usage expended on the offensive side of the floor.

    3. Outside of Eric Gordon, I don't see anyone on our roster that would 'efficiently' be able to keep up with the 7 seconds or less offense. (Keep in mind he had an MVP caliber Steve Nash (better stamina than our MVP), athletic freaks in Amare and Shawn Marion, young guns like Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa, and even big playmaking Boris Diaw) >>> our current squad

    And lastly, we need to find out how to right the ship defensively first. This was what made us so efficient last season. Once we figure out wtf we're doing defensively, the offense will come.

    Jason Richardson died?

    They were definitely a stacked/young team that had the players to run that style of offense. Which is not what we have here.

    How is not true? Chris Paul has said it, along with MDA himself. The Rockets don't really run plays. They basically run offensive sets and go off how the defense plays them. But they're aren't any set plays except for inbound plays
