[Game 55] Rockets @ Warriors - 2/20 Game Thread

[Lorenzomax7]

I thought Parson defending that last play on Curry before OT was pretty horrible, or the whole team. You know the ball was going to Curry no matter what, but some how he got a running start all the way to the basketball LOL..

That was a good defensive play. We just need to give credit to "Curry for 333".

Our offense is pretty disorganized compared to theirs. One on one, not too difficult to stop when facing a good coach.

We have a vastly better offense. Mark Jackson offense is all about the isos for perceived mismatches.

They have a much better defense though, at least when Bogut is healthy. JO apparently reliving his pacers days yesterday.

I was talking about the warriors last offense possession before OT. Where Curry just took the inbound and went straight to the basket...

I'm not so sure about that. They have in Curry (9asts) and AI2 two great passers who shoot a high percentage. (doesn't sound like ISO) Their starting lineup is pretty good offensively except they need to involve Bogut more. Their problem is their bench. They're missing Landry and JJ dearly and Barnes isn't playing well off the bench. With the addition of Blake they'll be pretty good again. Our offense is good for regular season against not so tough teams but in the playoffs it'd be a different story unless something's done about it.

Unbelievable what JO has done, maybe cuz of this:

You can just be honest. McHale will be out played by better coaches in the playoff.

Talent wise, the Rockets is as loaded as the the best teams out there. Just hire a championship coach this off season and Rockets can replace Heats in the next few years.

[Mr. E]

Yeah, but are there any top coaches out there who live in Houston, work for TNT, are respected by players, truly loves this city and has a winning pedigree?

Can anyone think of someone like that?

Oh well...Just Venting, Guy.

Jeff Van Gundy was a very good coach when he had what was left from the Riley built Knicks.

Maybe he'd be good for Dwight Howard.

Too me, I feel the Rockets need to become a much much more physical team to build on what they already have. (Dwight Howard).
They need to add PF's and SF's that will help watch his back and he'll do the same for them.

They need to start Asik and Howard at the C/PF . When they did this they were winning 90-80.
Since they went away from that they were winning 110-100... Now which score is better suited for the Playoffs?


Also they need to find a physical SF. This is the real problem on the team. Parson is soft and doesn't have much power game. I'd even move him to the guard so he be guarding players that are like 3 inches shorter than him, maybe that would help him. Plus his skills are more like a guard.

Then I'd move Harden to the PG and run the triangle offense feature Howard and Asik on the otherside.

Maybe Artest will be bought out, the Knicks are going no where as Carmelo has shown he's the coach there.


Asik, Jones
Howard, Jones
Artest, Garcia why he's on the team I don't know
Parsons, Beverly
Harden, Beverly

Harden is the PG

Beside getting a better coach, the Rockets also need midrange. Unless Asik can develop a midrange, it is a bad idea to have both in the team.
