Through 2 games, the Harden and the Rockets have responded well to the schemes that Carlisle has thrown at them. If the Rockets can remain...
Did you get the impression that the Mavs weren't even putting forth any defensive effort last night during the barrage of alley-oops? It just...
I agree with you. But I will say that last night, Harden didn't really get to the rack at will like he did in the regular season. And that was,...
Great Post. Harden's step-backs will start to fall sooner than later I believe. But you are absolutely right, he is adapting very well thus far...
I guess you and I agree on the fact that the Rockets should win this series pretty handily. I think we disagree on the path. I believe the...
I don't fear the Rockets will lose the series either. My point is home-court absolutely can't be lost. If the Rockets were to lose a game, it...
How can you say that? A home split against an over-matched Mavericks team would be disappointing. If the Rockets allow the Mavs to take...
And the Rockets were on the road against the Bulls right? That actually goes against the trend of Mauer favoring road teams correct?
Ok well that can't happen tonight. As you alluded to earlier, if certain amount of physicality is "allowed" on one end, then it should be...
I actually didn't get a chance to watch the Bulls game. This was at Chicago this season correct? Were the calls just one-sided? or blatant...
Bingo! because the Clippers took care of business at home and made officiating (bad or good) irrelevant. So goes the Rockets tonight...
I respectfully disagree. The Rockets should win this game regardless. Parsons doesn't matter in the grand scheme nor determining the outcome....
Ok I understand what you are saying regarding integrity and completely agree. Not to defend Mauer in the previous Memphis game, but even if...
Ok I'm sure your data is a legitimate trend indicator regarding Mauer or any ref, but the Rockets should not depend on the reffing crew to win....
Yep. I just hope Harden/Howard and crew realize that losing is absolutely not an option. Play great and focused team defense and shut down the...
By the way, say a defender is actually successful in denying Harden the ball. This is not a new tactic right? I mean surely defenses have tried...
Thanks. I guess if they did sink the defense in and shots are falling, the only way to counter that is to dump it into Howard in the post right?...
I think above all, the key is defensive focus and intensity. It's possible Terry/Ariza/Brewer will not hit the 3s at such a good clip, but the...
I actually feel that should be the Rockets primary strategy of attack against any opponent in the playoffs.
Should be 2-0 regardless. There is no reason the Rockets should not head up to Dallas up 2-0. Rockets showed up and took game 1. They need to...
