On some of the moves he really reminds me of CP3. I think CP3's game has rubbed off on him in a very good way.
like i said in my previous post lets see if its actually a set where okc wants the switch or if it's a action to see how the defense reacts cool dude acting like the .01% where no switch is necessary is relevant to how the rockets play defense. it isn't. Unless they adjust or change their scheme, you're going to see the rockets switch everything on all hard actions period. It really doesn't matter if you can see it or not tbh
Did you say 'the Rockets switch everything when OKC wants them to'? No, you said they switch everything.
Unless they adjust or change their scheme, you're going to see the rockets switch everything on all hard actions period. It really doesn't matter if you can see it or not tbh.
That's not what you said though is it. As a reminder, you said 'the Rockets switch everything'. Not 'the Rockets switch all hard actions'.
this is what I said "lets see if its actually a set where okc wants the switch or if it's a action to see how the defense reacts" something else you obviously don't understand the concept of which was obvious in your tweet.
Basic basketball 101. What's actually relevant and what's not. The .01% of a basic non switch when it's completely unnecessary isn't any where close to relevant. By this logic, the rockets shoot midrange shots as part of their everyday offense. Cool. put the league on notice
Again, your words. "They switch absolutely everything" Now, tell me, did they switch "absolutely everything" on the plays I showed. You are allowed to admit you were wrong about a tiny insignificant thing on the internet.
We don't force any of them to their left at all (SGA, DS, or CP3).. It amazes me they continually allow them to go right right and more right... Force them left and wait for the pull up jumper. Also, please double CP3 sometimes late in the 4th Qtr and force him to throw across court to Dort. We all know James can't and won't guard him one on one...
Looking back at some of the clips Covington was trying to shade Schroder to his left, but he's so much quicker it was just easy for him to go right anyway - like this play https://stats.nba.com/events/?flag=...=player&sct=hex&CF=SHOT_TYPE*E*2PT Field Goal
I think you're just nitpicking on what he's been saying. So what if the rockets aren't switching on situations that okc isn't forcing a switch? You're just focusing on the statement "the rockets switch everything" because YOLO made a valid point.
The Rockets switch at every logical opportunity. They aren't going to switch if it creates a defensive vulnerability (as it would have in most of the plays in that clip).
Because I said they don't switch *absolutely everything* and he jumped on me for that and tried to say I dont understand basketball. This was after saying I dont watch games because he didn't read my post saying Schroder shoots less than 30% on pullup 3 point shots (not catch and shoot) The reason I brought it up, is because while yes in colloquial terms the Rockets pretty much do switch everything, they've rejected the switch at times with Gordon staying on the ballhandler instead of going on to Adams. So my point was going to be that they can do the same and not switch Covington onto Schroder. They don't have to do that if he's just getting cooked every time.
Yeah, I think Covington on Schroder is a defensive vulnerability so I don't think they should switch him on to him so willingly!
and it's going to continue to happen. as mentioned previously, do we think they make some adjustment in game 5 of some sort to it? It's possible.
Austin Rivers needs some minutes to try to slow him down. Austin is the only one with comparable quickness and can lock in entirely on defense.
Agreed. He's been a zero on offense but I think we can live with him spotting up even if he can't beat OKC off the dribble
